I'll wager that you've seen a few changes in bicycle bell technology these past 20 years

[NSC] 20 years on NSC

I was late to the online party but started lurking around 2005, finally tool the plunge in 2008 and signed up.
For someone who's never lived anywhere near Brighton and barely knew any brighton fans it helped me feel more connected to the club.
I also would have given up my withdean ST had it not been for being able to conduct wiht fans I could pass my ticket on to, I'd meet some posters in Clapham or East croydon who I'd never have been able to pass tickets to without NSC.

I'm very late to the party. I was led here by the 'Jamie' (rIp) thread. My conscience was wrestling between finding it really funny & that it was going too far. Then I lurked, then I registered & then it took ages for me to post. I love the way that petty arguments are overlooked & everyone comes together when another member is having a difficult time. There are times when people switch from being complete t*ssers, to really nice people when someone needs help. It is a heart warming place tbh. Literally you can ask anything on here & someone will give a sensible reply within the jokes. @Jack Straw, the responses to your bell issue was very disappointing, the 1st poster told you it was a bell & that's wrong for NSC!

No, but I remember looking at it before I joined. I met Wozza in the queue at Orient and he persuaded me that it was worth looking at, so I joined that evening (which is how I know the date).
Happy twentieth!
Me too.
Yep. But always on the ball, and with pix, that thread was started by @Wozza wozzit not?
It's more that one tenth of mine!
In true NSC pedant mode - any age under 81 would mean that 27 years is 'more than a third' of his life.
He could be 55 (for instance), and 27 is almost a half - so 'more than a third' of 55!

I lurked for years before joining.....and on here before, when it was called......? can't remember.......1999 or some date
Jack Straw
I look nothing like him!
No. I only found out this afternoon, thanks to NSC, that you now twang them up and down and not push with your thumb from side to side!

20 years for me too....last August 23 to be precise. Living in Spain and rarely returning to the UK it means so much to me, not only for the Albion and all my past wonderful (and sometimes not so wonderful) times. I rarely miss a game these days, DAZN is so good, and we're lucky to have it here. But it's not just football it's the other topics, (definitely not politics!) that are so inspiring and memory jogging.
So thank you @Bozza and the rest of the team - I'd be seriously at loss without this resource.

Possibly. I remember the Internet got VERY slow that afternoon....
I'm 66. so a third of my life is 22 years. In the maths we did at Varndean, 27 is more than 22 - you Hove Grammar types were clearly working on a different number system@Gwylan may be thespian and cunnng linguist, bet he's no mathematician

My 15th year coming up in Oct. Not ashamed to say that NSC is a positive element in my life, that I would really miss if it was no longer available. Big thanks to all who make it happen.
