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.
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...
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...

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...
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...
