    Sheffield Wednesday don't rate us.

    They've played Arsenal. We haven't. Therefore they will beat us. Is that how football works?

    Bradford City Charity - REMF?

    The stated aims of REMF are to support disadvantaged young people in getting access to football. The Bradford charity is undoubtedly doing good work, but I'm not sure that it chimes with the purpose of REMF.

    What value is the Albion to the Brighton, Hove and Lewes economies?

    The value of the wages that transport staff earn by virtue of matchday working that gets spent in the local economy. Likewise the value of the wages that the Albion pay their own directly employed staff and any other workers that have matchday employment (catering staff and police officers, to...

    Reading vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    Still unbeaten. Useless. Top of the table. Very disappointing.

    UK population is to increase beyond 70 million in the next 12 years

    The interesting thing about the Firle Estate's approach to housing is that they provide housing at affordable rents for local people who will work locally and send their kids to the local school. That's affordable rents (at lower than "market rents"), with no associated "right to buy"...

    UK population is to increase beyond 70 million in the next 12 years
