[Brighton] Fishing for suggestions for my upcoming Brighton trip

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Which part of the ground have you got your ticket in @Fiskmas?

Have a great trip. I'm shocked there are zero fish puns so far on this thread

There but for the brace of cod

 

[Surf's Up]

I'm amazed that no-ones mentioned The Bulldog in Kemp Town yet - I thought it was obligatory on threads like this

This is a serious thread and not the Plaice for fish puns.

Fellow NSCers please correct me, but I thought the Churchill Square BHA store is still there? It may be worth stopping by there first if you were planning on taking the train as it does save you the better part of an hour and more time in the city centre where there’s a lot of good restaurants, local attractions and independent shops.

If you do end up going to the Amex the day before I would actually recommend taking the train to Lewes first and stopping by Falmer on the way back to Brighton. Its a nice historic market town which is the home of Harvey’s Brewery, the signature drink of Sussex (and the Albion!) and lots of good pubs nearby.

This may be unpopular but dont think its really worth visiting Goldstone or Withdean. As much as they’re part of the club’s history, there is really not much left behind in terms of the Albion's legacy. Withdean’s only real value is for posterity and telling the younger generations ‘look where we used to play!’ and the Goldstone is very much a shadow of what it used to be. Otherwise, there isn’t really a lot else going on at both places as they’re in suburban/industrial areas of Brighton and Hove. That being said, its a very welcome gesture and a nice thought.

It’s not there all year - it’s only a pop up store in the run up to Xmas

I'll buy you a pint in Dicks
I'll be wearing blue and white stripes

Last time I checked the club shop was still open in Churchill sq. much smaller than the site at the Amex but if it’s scarfs and stuff you want then go there and ditch items in hotel so you’ve got both drinking hands free for the match.

No, it is not there. It was only a pop up until xmas - https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/2670565/churchill-square-pop-up-shop-now-open

It's not listed on the Churchill Square website either - https://churchillsquare.com/shops/

Not sure about Brighton, but there's good fishing in Seaford...

If you go to Brighton town centre you can pop into the Seven Stars pub in Ship Street to see where it all started.

Bästa tipset är att ta med mig som din sidekick. Har fått många PM här genom åren om var man köper det fetaste rökar-knarket. Vi kan också ta en liten, liten grupprunk över Grahams tid i Östersund, och kanske åka upp och ner i den där megakuken de byggt på stranden där turister tydligen får pröjsa tjugo pund för att åka upp och titta på medioker utsikt.

My missus is currently learning Swedish, we were in Malmo and Lund at the weekend. I will pass this to her for a bit of education, so hope it’s something that can be repeated!

Really? Malmö is hideous but Lund is nice, not much of a winter city though.

Really only passed through Malmo. I quite like it, I was there in Euro 92 (well before the bridge!)

Easy for you to say.

What's the Lord Nelson Inn like nowadays? That always used to have Albion bits and bobs.

Us Brightonians & Hovians (actually) prefer to call it a donut on a stick!

Crap since they extended it

And I promise to keep the pillaging and plundering to a minimum.

Right, but I see no promises on the raping

Yeah, I agree. The i360 is a rip off!
