Overall I was pretty impressed by him, but his urge to shoot from distance at every opportunity is frustrating. he also gave the needless free kick away that led to their goal.
I live quite close by now and don't have any issues with using it now and again. In actual fact I find it quite evocative as it triggers a lot of good memories.
My main issue with it is that It is a monstrosity, poorly designed for everyone other than car users. To those who haven't been there...
I think not only are they not meeting the demand for top end hospitality, they are also missing out entirely on the mid-priced market. I wonder if they will try to address this too? Perhaps move the shop to where the hotel was supposed to go, and put in a new bar/restaurant in the North? Tony...
Yes. Makes me wonder what changes we'll see over the Summer. I think the off site Liverpool hospitality was partly an exercise in testing the water to see how much unmet demand there is, with a view to adding more lounges/restaurants/boxes in the Amex for next season. Even if Stanmer didn't...
Yes I am aware of that, but you wouldn't necessarily HAVE to extend the platforms at other stations because of selective door opening (which is already used for 8 car trains at pretty much every nearby Coastway east station bar Falmer and Brighton). Extending Falmer in isolation would not be...
I wouldn't quite go that far. Having longer platforms at Falmer would give Southern some operational flexibility. For instance, on Sundays, when half the number of trains are timetabled than the rest of the week and extra staff might be difficult to obtain it might be more cost effective to run...
The platforms at Falmer could be extended eastwards to 12 car length with little problem (ideally though you'd want to extend the Brighton platform westwards so that people used the full extent of the platform, but that would mean moving a signal and therefore greatly adding to the cost)...
Problem with this is there is a planning application to build some flats/houses on the Peugeot dealership on Newtown Road. Once that's gone it's hard to see how you could fit a large stadium on the site without that land.
Using number of goals per appearance can be very misleading for players who are usually subs. He rarely started and was often used as a time wasting substitution towards the end of games when Liverpool were protecting a lead and doing little attacking. He averages less than 30 minutes per...
Probably worth double checking as it seemed too good to be true. I used the Stagecoach journey planner, but I have no idea how reliable it is for public holidays. https://www.stagecoachbus.com/plan-a-journey
That link for some reason doesn't mention the shuttle bus service from Brighton station which will obviously be of interest to a lot of people. I checked the programme from yesterday and it is listed there.
These are the extra transport provisions the club are having to put in place for Boxing day and no doubt having to pay very handsomely for:
Shuttle Service from Lewes Station.
Shuttle Service from Brighton Station.
Brighton University Lower Car Park.
Sussex University Multi Story Car Park...
Yes, it's definitely Southern who have the upper hand, not the club. If there was a breakdown in the relationship between the two then they could refuse to call at Falmer on match days.
The franchise (or more accurately a management contract) runs until 2021. There should be a DfT consultation...
Commercial income rose a bit so there might have been a clause, but clearly nothing massive. I doubt we were overwhelmed with offers when the deal was signed either so it was probably the only decent option available. It was a reasonable sum for the Championship, but commercial income is now the...
Cheers. I stand corrected! My memory must be getting hazy. I was convinced they'd been our shirt sponsors since 2011, but it was Brighton and Hove Jobs. Completely forgotten that. Knew I should have doubled checked.
