It's ok, cheap beer/cider and food, what's not to like?

The idea of snake bite and black before a football match doesn’t really appeal im afraid.

The idea of snakebite and black doesn't appeal at ANY time!

Is that the one that has a kind of pub interior? Although it could have changed since 1995.

Is the Gardener arts centre still there? That was a good choice for the more discerning student, again, 30 years ago.

Yeah it's kinda pubby, more Student Bar though. Gardner Arts is now The Attenborough Centre, named after Richard. They still have their cafe'/bar, but not sure if it's open in the evening.

Why not, it's a FABULOUS drink, like super-squash.

Yes, have been a few times before a game. Cheaper food and drinks and usually has a bunch of Albion fans in.

Do you have to arrive wearing a college scarf, wire round-rimmed spectacles and being pushed in a shopping trolley with a traffic cone planted on your head to stand a chance of getting in?

I went to Lancaster in the 70's.. it had at least 9 bars and they were all big . 6 pints for £1.

The Hive no longer opens pre-match to fans on match days. They had a change of manager and the new one doesn’t want fans in. Obviously can’t be being performance measured on revenue……

That’s all factually incorrect.

The operation has been temporarily scaled back due to the school of humanities moving from Falmer to Moulsecoomb. When the students from Eastbourne (mostly sports/health sciences) move to that campus in September, I suspect it could be scaled back up again.
