    Yes, even we old fogies rose to the occasion!!

    [Albion] The crowd tonight

    Exactly. Some of his decisions riled up the crowd and in that second half the noise was incredible. let's not hear any more about how silent Albion fans are -this evening was simply amazing. We can do it as well as anyone!!

    [Albion] Your football ancestry

    Same with me. Dad was an Albion fan and took me to my first game in 1960 -beat Bristol City 5-1. after that I was hooked and as I got older went to more and more matches. Has been a fantastic part of my life through thick and thin -never regretted it, though that last 5 minutes against Wolves...

    [Travel] Train disruption Tonight (Cup versus Liverpool)

    I see what you are saying with regard to distance and I am sure that you are right, but the issue here surely is the lack of trains causing the delays. Most fans know the score, accept that moving thousands of fans straight way is difficult, and are prepared to wait, but when even a basic...

    [Albion] Away fans in home ends

    Yes, a few rows behind us -kept spitting at them -total arsehole accompanied by a real slag getting into arguments with everyone around. You had to admire the restraint by the Police given the huge amount of provocation.

    [Travel] Train disruption Tonight (Cup versus Liverpool)

    Thanks for the agreement! And just to add -I am trying to get the train from Crowhurst to Battle and the next 3 are all delayed - I was reluctant to put a figure on how many delays there are that I spot by Crowhurst Station, but it really is NO exaggeration to say that of those I see, 50% are...

    [Travel] Train disruption Tonight (Cup versus Liverpool)

    Slightly off track. In fairness, the trains over the years to and from Hastings have been pretty reliable, but this season has seen a huge drop in standards -the last 2 matches particularly. After the Wolves game, We were told that the train was late, was terminating at Bexhill and anyone for...

    [News] Middle East conflict

    But how would you get evidence of them being there? With Israeli raids on their hideouts, I am sure that they would not want the world to see that they had indeed used schools etc to hide in, and use as weapon dumps, as Israel claims. That would totally destroy their credibility.

    [Politics] Protests/rioting in lots of places

    How naive can you get. What was that saying -there is none so blind as those who don't want to see. .

    [Albion] EFL / Carabao Cup Fourth Round draw [Liverpool at home]

    I feel you are being somewhat optimistic, but do agree with your comment about fans automatically thinking that we will be underdogs, after so many years in the doldrums. Perhaps it is understandable, but we do have a good chance. When we first went into the PL, I dreaded matches against the so...

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    What a very convenient comparison to hide the fact that now Labour are also engulfed in sleaze. Just accept the fact that the same trough feeds different snouts instead of trying to defend the indefensible.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    Utterly predictable that all our leftie numpties will now fall over themselves to try and defend this, in contrast to their equally predictable reaction when any Tory party member was found out.

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    So, you were privileged enough to know people in the respective industries, and used that privilege to get freebies, but it is a matter for concern when others do it.

    If there are people coming from outside Sussex, you can start with " and for those who have travelled from afar " welcome to Sussex, gateway to the continent and home to the incontinent" . .

    [Sussex] Where are the East Sussex County council pension staff? All we needed was one.

    They are all the same -they cannot bend or apply common sense, not helped by the fact that they prefer to work from home, and I think we can guess why that is . . I notified West Sussex Pensions Team of our change of address, and instead of simply confirming this, they sent a huge form wanting...

    [Albion] Brajan Gruda **SINGED 14 Aug 2024**

    One said that the fact that FH is there as the manager would have had an influence on his decision to join the Albion. they also add that the PL is the only league where an "average" PL team (in terms of final position over the years) like the Albion can spend so much!

    [Politics] The Labour Government

    I have no idea whether this is true or not, and I am pretty certain that you don't either. But this is what Reeves said and of course you are only too pleased to believe it.

    [News] Veterinary costs under investigation

    We do the same. Our lab is 2 and so the chances of her needing a huge vet bill is slim -yes, I know! We put aside £40.00 per month and it is now over £1500.00, which will cover most things. If the bill exceeds this, then we pay it as we love our pets, but doing it this way is a gamble, albeit...

    [Albion] Was forcing Sanchez out the worst decision our club has made in years?

    Exactly -he was quite happy to take Ryan's place and then had a strop when it happened to him. Moody players can affect morale so the dosh we got for him was great as far as I was concerned.

    [News] Veterinary costs under investigation

    Sadly vets can be as greedy as the rest of us, knowing exactly how to play on your love for your pet. Several years ago, I met whilst dog walking a German couple. I asked if they were on holiday in Hastings and they said they were visiting their son who joined a vet's practice locally. We got...
