Our No.2 was really good. As i couldn't find a squad number list I am guessing it was Jacob Slater.

Was there catering and how did it compare to the Amex?

Really good occassion for Vs, was very surreal seeing the stand full again after all these years, got a really good youth setup there and the money from this game will keep them going for a bit (£7k just on tickets) and if you enjoyed it, why not come back tomorrow as they take on Peacehaven.

Thoroughly enjoyable trip down memory lane last night. A terrific game I thought. Tasker the stand out player for me, but credit to AFC Varndenians who did an excellent job keeping the Albion at bay. The Varndenian defence and goalkeeper had an excellent night.

Just drinks, crisps and sweets from what I saw. But nothing over £2!

He was, taught and coached him. Unbelievable talent from a very early age, and has continued to get better and better. Will definitely make it in the professional game

Same. I've got an unhealthy fascination with it as a venue
Unfortunately I can't see that happening while it's in the hands of the council. If the Albion bought it I'm just not sure you can squeeze a stadium that holds 9,000-10,000 in there with proper facilities without removing the running track
Plus the general infrastructure isn't great- parking etc is crap as the locals would object to there being free for all street parking
That’s going to zoom over a few heads.

My son was in the year below. He’s been banging on forever about how good Tasker is but I’ve always put it down to him bigging up a schoolmate.
Seems NSC’s player sages agree, and when have we ever got a player wrong?
He was there last night (also heckling his mate in Vardenians goal). Annoyingly I was supposed to be away for work which got cancelled last minute so hadn’t got a ticket and ended up watching the darts

Hell will freeze over before the Withdean residents allow that. I agree I find it a very intriguing venue, would be nice if you could watch the games from the opposite side.

Withdean is obviously a very high potential sporting location
Location-wise it's 10 mins walk from a station. On established bus routes. Loads of street parking (f***em), proven park and ride nearby.
But it should never be just a football stadium. This is a community sporting asset which could be scaled up. I'm not going to name a number of seats, but I don't see why you couldn't have proper athletics meets there, all Brighton womens and u23 football played there.

What flavour is it?
