Don't know until you try, do you. Seems a bit defeatist not to.

It is possible to imagine a scenario where the match day income side of things will always be a loss leader, or maybe just turn a small profit, but the women's game as a whole becomes very lucrative, too. The real money IMO will be in media rights, sponsorship and other commercial deals. If...

If you're not going to move the match against your biggest rivals then why bother moving any? I see it as a potential draw to attract new Albion fans. I was not thinking Palace would bring a massive following. I guess we are going to have to disagree on the merits of playing the fixture at the...

I really don't think a crowd of nearly 5000 at the Amex for the women's team against West Ham is in any way disappointing. Are you suggesting Brighton vs Palace women won't be moved to the Amex for policing reasons? I have to disagree if so. If Spurs and Arsenal can play each other at their...

I suspect Bloom thinks there is likely to be very significant growth in media and commercial income for the women's game in the coming years, and, as with the men's game, the big money will be in European competition. Hence the notable signings this season. Matchday revenue is unlikely to be a...

I don't think they marketed the West Ham game particularly aggressively, plus the Man Utd game was fairly recent, and they are a much bigger draw. I think the attendance was pretty much as expected all told. Not very far off the typical attendance at the Withdean for the men's team in less...

Next target surely must be a 10,000+ attendance. You'd think they might have a chance if they move the Palace or Arsenal games to the Amex in Feb/May next year.

Maybe. I don't think it's a sensible strategy. Those sort of comments are not going to gain her votes, only lose them. I guess it's indicative of a party still far more focused on indulging the more extreme elements of their members. They gain a lot of media attention, but I don't think their...

I just don't understand why she's chosen to downplay and defend "party-gate". Given that a lot of people still feel incredibly strongly about this, why not (whatever her true thoughts on the matter), try and distance yourself, agree it was wrong, poorly judged and incredibly insensitive to those...

Not sure about that. Connex went in 2001. Edit: Just checked, first planning application went in Sept 2001, so could have been some overlap. My memory had it as a few years later.

Since the ancient class 313 fleet was scrapped recently, and not completely replaced by Electrostar units from Southeastern, I get the impression that Southern are a few units short of being able to run the sort of service they'd like. And not just on matchdays, but every day. Best we can...

Yeah. Can only guess this means they are all likely to be formed of 3 or 4 carriages. Edit: Other possibility is the usual timetable has been changed, and 5 trains per hour during those times is now the norm every day.

Strange. I looked at National Rail Enquiries and there are 5 trains per hour timetabled between Brighton and Falmer from 5pm to 7pm tonight which is an enhanced service.

So, not quite a sell out, but the crowd could just about top 30,000. Looks certain to be our third largest league cup attendance ever, behind only Derby in 1976 and Wolves in 1969.

There's still 20 days to go. Maybe it won't quite sell out, but it's still going to comfortably be one of our biggest league cup attendances ever. Only Derby and Wolves in the 70s are certain to top this attendance.

I think the chance in the first minute was 0xG, not 0.07, because Johnson didn't connect with the cross. I think 0.07xG relates to the Kulusevski chance in the second minute, though I cannot remember this chance personally. IMO, this is a bit of a short-coming of xG when used to determine who...

I wonder what the cost to make platforms 3, 4 and 5 all 12 car length would be? I suppose if you timed it to coincide it with when the points at then junction to the east are life expired and need replacing anyway, that might keep the cost down. Then you've got the listed signal box that would...

That's good to know. I guess the extra services weren't loaded into the national rail enquiries database when I looked. I suspected they wouldn't have enough capacity to turn 4 trains an hour at Lewes and run two Eastbourne services, but glad to be proven wrong.

I think you are talking about Lewes, which would be clearly difficult and very expensive, but I was talking about lengthening Falmer to 12 car.
