If Falmer was happening in France...

[Gilliver's Travels]

It would have been approved three years ago; they would have put in a brand new station and a fast TGV link, as a matter of national pride. People would have cheered the development all the way, and the Nimbys would have been told to go piss up a wall.

Course, bit far for home games. Better than Gillingham though.

Allez Les Blues.....

They do have a lot more land in France tho... just got back from my holidays over there and on Saturday, mid-afternoon, there was often nothing to be seen for miles in front or behind of us on the motorway... and it's the busiest day on their roads! There's just so much bloody space!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Nah, the French would have bulldozed The Sportsman, hired a Channel Tunnel drilling machine and dug a pleasing 200 metre tunnel through the soft chalk under the railway line in about ten minutes flat and told the residents of Withdean to f*** RIGHT OFF. Maybe dragooned them into the Foreign legion & sent them into exile in Algeria or sentenced them to seven years hard labour rebuilding the West Pier or something. Simple INNIT.

 

[Soton Seagull]

They'd have burnt sheep and tyres on all major roads in and out of the arae until they all got 18 wks holiday per year and a pay rise!

 

[Vlad the Impala]

Yeah, but it would be in France. Nothing's worth that.

 

[Safeway]

Exactly. Even the Withdean burgers have got to be better than frogs' legs and snails.

And while we're doing the whole sterotype thing, wouldn't our kit be change to black and white hoops, berets and onions 'round the neck?

Geez, I hadn't thought of that!

Ooooo, yes isnt France the greatest. Ist that the same country that charges you £15 for an appointment with your GP? The same country that has one of the higher income taxes in europe so they can pay for all the super fast TGV trains (that then only go between major cities) and uneconomic pay rises for every tin pot group that holds the country to ransom? The country that props up failing companies when their foreign investments go tits up (instead of having proper regulation to prevent the problem in the first place)? The same country that has such a love of the game of football that virtually ALL their national players play abroad? The country that capitulates everytime they see a German army?

I wish we where more like the French.

i hope dick knight isn't reading this. it'll give him ideas about what to make the design of the new kit
