    [News] Excitement at new cancer treatment

    Are you suggesting your company conducted a placebo controlled clinical trial on terminally ill cancer sufferers? The usual control in oncology trials is standard of care, not placebo. I doubt you'd ever get such a trial past an ethics committee. I stand to be corrected but I'd be surprised if...

    [News] Excitement at new cancer treatment

    Bit more from Sky news here: http://news.sky.com/story/1642626/extraordinary-cancer-breakthrough-revealed I suspect these are two of the clinical trials from which the story has emerged: https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01865617?term=fred+hutchinson+leukemia+t-cells&recr=Open&rank=3...

    Stepdad threatened by the club

    It would be interesting to know what lengths the club have gone to in order to clamp down on age related ticket issues. Do you have to provide proof of age when buying a season ticket at a concessionary rate? I wonder if they have cross referenced the date of births provided by those aged 65+...

    Amex hotel proposal will be decided at BHCC Planning Committee 17th February

    Do the council still own any of the land required for the hotel? If so, maybe this advice has something to do with that. I'd imagine that they are required to ensure that they get best value for any land they sell or lease for development. I'd have thought that this would just apply to their...

    Amex hotel proposal will be decided at BHCC Planning Committee 17th February

    Curious that. The article stops short of saying this is the reason for the recommendation for refusal, but that seems to be the implication. It's not something I was aware that planning officers took into account.

    AITC Christmas appeal

    I know people tend to not notice stickys so excuse the new thread. There is still time to donate to the Christmas appeal as it doesn't finish until 29th Jan. I know some people had problems donating before Christmas, but I just tried and it worked fine for me. £1500 pledged so far, but still...

    Albion's finances - for those who like graphs and charts.

    I don't think they are the exception though. Most PL clubs have made a profit in recent seasons. I don't disagree that there would be substantial investment in the squad should we be promoted, however even allowing for this I think that we would make a profit next season. I think if we don't use...

    Albion's finances - for those who like graphs and charts.

    I don't think it's highly unlikely. 15 PL clubs made a profit in 2013/14. Palace made 23M and still did well so it can be done. Plus a massive new TV deal kicks in next season and wage inflation tends to lag behind for a season or two when this happens. It depends on how much of a millstone Tony...

    Albion's finances - for those who like graphs and charts.

    Love reading this blog. His third on Brighton now. He estimates Bloom has now invested 217 million. Dear god, that's an incredible amount. The debt is huge, but he makes the point that it has mostly been invested in facilities rather than to fund ongoing operating losses. Plus of course, it's...

    Uber, another company sucking money out of the UK.

    For those interested in some background reading on the challenges facing black cabs I'd recommend reading this: http://www.londonreconnections.com/2015/fare-trade-breaking-down-londons-taxi-debate/ As one astute commenter put it: "A fascinating account not just on the transport issues but on...

    Update on Proposed Hotel Development by TCSL at Falmer

    The first few rows of parking in Bennett's field have been in use all season because that part is not owned by the people with whom the club could not come to an agreement. This is also the bit on which the proposed hotel would be built.

    Update on Proposed Hotel Development by TCSL at Falmer

    http://www.lewes.gov.uk/planning/1139.asp Check the terms and conditions and then click on continue. Then do a search for Falmer and it's the second result to come up. To be honest the screen grab above is almost all that is there at the moment. I guess other documents will be added eventually.

    Update on Proposed Hotel Development by TCSL at Falmer

    There is now a planning application on the Lewes District Council website. Not many documents are available to view at present however.

    Parking in Bennett's Field

    Looking at the hotel application on the Lewes District Council planning website (ref: LW/15/0038) it looks like about a third of Bennett's Field will be used for a 150 bed hotel and pre-turnstile bar and the remainder will be reduced to about 360 parking spaces. Having said that the remainder of...

    Article: The 2014 Albion Financial Review

    Good analysis. It’s worth noting that Category 1 academies receive an annual grant towards their running costs (I think this is currently £750,000) so the academy running costs might conceivably be slightly lower. That said, judging it on appearances alone, it is highly possible that the reverse...

    Albion academy in Surrey

    Can't see this answered directly so: There are 5 at present. Palace, Swansea and QPR who have category 2 status. Hull and Burnley have only achieved category 3 level. In addition there are 9 clubs in the Championship with category 1 academies: Us, Blackburn, Bolton, Wolves, Norwich, Reading...
