    New strip causing problems?

    The half-time change was shirley nothing more than a promotional stunt for the start-of-season New Kit sales push?

    Fans leaving early, Waxxers, obviously.......

    Do we really have to put up with this sort of nonsense going on around us?

    Do we rent the stadium?

    Or does Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club Limited rent the stadium from Brighton and Hove Albion Holdings Limited?

    Lazio Friendly

    Lewes buses are the 28 and 29. The ban on alcohol at seats applies to all soccerball games at the Amex.

    Where will Lazio be plotted up?

    They flew in to ... Biggin Hill. Bizarre.

    Eastbourne Airshow - advice please

    I remember the good old days when Sussex still played cricket at the Saffrons. Play would be suspended to allow low-flying aircraft to swoop over the ground and entertain us all. Marvellous scenes.

    I was born within 1.5 miles of the Goldstone. On a Wednesday in between home wins ....

    I was born a similar distance from Elland Road - a fact with no significance whatsoever.

    Anyone raced around the Nurburgring before?

    Lady B has. In a fuel-injected Vauxhall Cavalier SRi. Verdict ... "Brilliant". The circuit, not the car.

    Suggestion Box: Alternate Ways To Save The Club £40,000 A Season

    Nobody has mentioned the OBVIOUS solution. Get relegated and enjoy all the benefits that flow from the lower costs that every club in League One experiences. It's even cheaper to run a club if you can achieve League Two status.

    Suggestion Box: Alternate Ways To Save The Club £40,000 A Season

    The subsidy goes to the transport operators. It isn't paid on the basis of how many individuals travel. Any benefit that fans get is just incidental.

    Suggestion Box: Alternate Ways To Save The Club £40,000 A Season

    £40,000 a year could, of course, be raised by the simple trick of increasing match attendances by about 60 people a game.

    Suggestion Box: Alternate Ways To Save The Club £40,000 A Season

    Reducing the number of people who use the trains to get to and from matches won't reduce the costs incurred by the train operator and they will still want the club to pay the same level of contribution as they do at the moment. If the number of trains was to be reduced, this could potentially...

    Historic 1960s Albion help needed

    More statistics from 1967 ... That was the year when the full student grant for students outside London went up to £360 a year (£12 a week for a 30-week academic year). I was paying 3 guineas a week for a furnished room in Osborne Villas, Hove. And it was the year when I bought a five year...

    Only 250 quid to [jump the queue for*] the Seven Stars Sports bar.. [* = get in to]

    The fact that the place fills up does NOT explain the charge. If filling up was the key criterion, they would be charging admission to Dick's. They aren't. I can only assume that it's the fact that this is a family bar that makes it worthwhile charging the customers. They have children who...

    Only 250 quid to [jump the queue for*] the Seven Stars Sports bar.. [* = get in to]

    I'm sorry, but charging a family up to £1,000 just to get into a room where they can spend more money is NOT offering anybody anything. It's certainly not spoiling the fans.

    it's Obvious (21)

    I thought BODMAS had been abolished, when we joined the EU.

    Only 250 quid to [jump the queue for*] the Seven Stars Sports bar.. [* = get in to]

    Those of us who battled to get the Club to agree to Dick's Bar opening on match days will have something to say if it is taken away from us.

    Only 250 quid to [jump the queue for*] the Seven Stars Sports bar.. [* = get in to]

    Ignoring the fact that not everyone can drive to the Racecourse ... Are there are going to be enough buses to provide that service? When SASTA are hiring every bus they can get their hands on to replace the train journeys they have cancelled? And Brighton & Hove Buses are so short of drivers...

    Only 250 quid to [jump the queue for*] the Seven Stars Sports bar.. [* = get in to]

    If there are NO trains from Seaford or Newhaven, nobody will be able to get to the Amex to complain.
