Fun fact. I sat next to Wes Brown on a flight back from Malaysia a couple of years ago. He was doing some promotion work for United in the region with Denis Irwin. Lovely guy who didn't stop chatting about football... Very complimentary about the Albion.

I've semi-convinced the wife that we should do our summer holiday wherever Brighton have their tour next year. What are people's thoughts on likely destinations. I can't imagine we'll do Japan again, so I'm thinking probably the US...
