Brighton/ Palace late 70's early 80's

[Danny-Boy]

Yup, we were also being bankrolled by Keith Wickenden, who was quite wealthy, but he was killed in a helicopter accident (I think). Bamber talked the talk in relation to finance, but suspect he was in hock to the banks to quite a degree.

From then on it was a slippery slope.

SAme with Palace in the 1970's once good old Arthur (Stand) Wait sold out to Bloye.

Bloye then went down a dodgy road over the Sainsbury's deal and we ended up nearly in the third tier in the mid-80's but saved by our youth policy which produces the South London All-stars.

If Albion can get a similar system going for the South Coast you may be able to get the best youth, it works much better than paying established players megabucks, they're all mercenaries imho.

 

[bn1&bn3 Albion]

I think Bamber was the cause, and of course he died tragically just when Albion needed more finance.

In the book written when you got promoted to Div 1 he said that the club needed a new stadium, but of course once you were relegated that just wasn't possible financially.

Thought you were blaming Barber for a second...

Do you mean the incident on the train from Seaford to Falmer when it pulled into Lewes?
Or are you talking about the RC?

A few of them in Seaford, I know one very well but he is a decent family bloke and not involved.
Some of the cheeky buggers even drive around with Palace stickers on their cars.

Do you really need codes for stuff that happened 30-40 years ago?

YES....1975 was 40 years ago.......A very long time ago.

Er yes! Not sure some respectable citizens in their 60's need the exposure.

So all you have come up with is a list of names, no story or anything. Put your name on here then, I think that's fair so the blokes you have listed can see who you are.

How very dare you! Some of us are still in our 50's!!

Err, I think Pretty Pink Fairy's about 15 judging by his endless and tedious 'coded' posts re: naughtiness. You can take the boy out of the tear-ups, but you can't take the boy out of the boy unfortunately.

I believe she said he would do nothing for 89 minutes and then pop up in the box unexpectedly to deliver a great finish.

They were good times,when people stuck together.
Most are grandparents now and maybe ashamed of their past.

It was all a part of growing up.
