    Season Ticket Renewals and Pricing for 2017/18

    I've been through YEARS of supporting the Albion in the hope that we will bring top tier football back to Brighton. I'm struggling to think of any justification for this if we are never going to be promoted.

    Season Ticket Renewals and Pricing for 2017/18

    If my maths is correct, keeping the Championship price for 23 games when we only get 19 Premier League games for the same money is the equivalent of a 17 per cent increase in the price per match. Add this to the "2 - 5 per cent increase" and things work out at around 20 per cent more to watch...

    [Misc] Washing machine stopped spinning

    Our washing machine packed up a while back, as they do, and we decided to buy a new one, rather than pay for an expensive repair. The curious thing is that the new one was delivered to Bracknell Towers by none other than Dean Adams, who used to be the producer of BBC Sussex's Albion...

    I remember when NSC sponsored a match at Withdean, against Sunderland, and we were all roundly told off for getting too excited. Not a telling off by a steward, though. It was the Chief Executive who told us to sit down and shut up. The Sunderland directors were quite cool about it, even...

    Her Majesty sets a new record.

    Eh? Is that the same Diana Spencer who went on the telly to slag off her in-laws?

    Her Majesty sets a new record.

    I always assumed that London Irish was a Reading-based sports club.

    Huddersfield Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Will anyone notice that ... Huddersfield's defence is terrible? We need to take advantage of that.

    How do I kill the foxes in my garden?

    Move to the countryside. We never get problems with foxes out here.

    Petition to stop prosecutions of NI Vets

    I understand what you are saying, Buzzer, but in my view there is an over-riding factor that can't be ignored. It's whether the Peace Process might be threatened by a change in current practice. It's a few years since I last visited Northern Ireland, but I can recall quite clearly conversations...

    New Monks Farm Development

    For about the millionth time ... there never was a "plan" for a Folkestone to Honiton trunk road. It was simply the name that the Ministry of Transport (as it then was) gave to the South Coast route when it was first designated as a trunk road by the Trunk Roads Act in 1946.

    Petition to stop prosecutions of NI Vets

    This is about allegations of torture, is it not? Is there not a special responsibility that sits upon the shoulders of our armed forces - including compliance with the letter of the law that forbids the use of torture to obtain confessions? I can't see a case for absolute immunity from...

    Sell off the BBC

    I'd think about it IF they threw another element into the auction and made a dream package that would really attract an exciting buyer. As well as getting the assets of the BBC, the lucky purchaser would take over the responsibilities of the Royal Family, including the right to be Head of...

    Anyone still bank with the COOP?

    I can't begin to express my anger about what has happened to the Co-op Bank in the last decade or so. A bit of personal background to start with ... My dad (who died in 1982) was head of domestic banking in the organisation and led the bank through a very successful period of expansion and...

    Prevent Donald Trump from making a state visit to the United Kingdom - petition

    It makes for very bad law indeed, if it is based on targeting "people who might believe in" something.
