"I'm in Brighton... what a shit hole. Seriously horrid."

More than likely a "look at me I'm the first one here and so cool" post from the safety of his bedroom on the outskirts of Ipswich.

Ahem.......just up the road here in North Norfolk is the location of the 'King of the Mountains' from a recent Tour of Britain cycle race. You can still make out the 'Wiggo' and 'Cav' grafitti on the tarmac.

The aforesaid 'mountain' must be all of 50 metres above sea level. TdF eat your heart out. Thank goodness these pro cyclists do all that altitude training...........................

The Norwich fan is just playing to the gallery. If he/she thinks Brighton is a shit-hole, seriously horrid etc etc then I presume this is their first ever away game.

Yup, there's always one. Same as there's always at least one fresher Sussex Uni student would-be writer convinced they're some kind of world-weary visionary who trots out the same trite ol' shite in the Brighton online blogs and freesheets every Autumn. Same as it ever was.

To be fair he's got a point as most on here think Brighton is just amazing....It isn't by a long shot

In your opinion. Which places in the UK do you think are amazing?

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

If he has just gone down Queen's Road it would be very hard to argue with him

http://www.geographic.org/streetvie...The City of Brighton and Hove, United Kingdom

Queens Road, the gateway to Brighton, pales into shit hole insignificance alongside other arterial roads such as London Road, Lewes Road/The Upper Lewes Road, the eastern side of The Level, the stretch of the Hollingdean Road leading off the gyratory.

I'm currently in Crewe: Brighton it is not....

The mrs is from the US, we've been all over the UK and she says Brighton is the second nicest city she's been to, behind London (love that cliche). Now don't get me wrong we've been to some real dumps, but I don't think Brighton qualifies as one of those dumps on any level tbh, her third fave is Lincoln, FWIW.

Could be worse, we could play in a YELLOW (yes yellow) kit....oh, hang on a minute...we could play in YELLOW tops with GREEN (yes green) shorts...Naanaa Na naanaaa...take that. Their kits are GAY (yes gay)

 

[Shy Talk]

Says a new thread on the Norwich "message board", er, Wrath of the Barclay.(Some serious wrath there!)

Does our city really seem that bad to first-time visitors?

Well feck off back to Suffolk then!

Plus it's a permanent stain of shame that a pissed-up Delia Smith FFS has to cajole what passes for their supporters into getting behind the team. Purely pitiful.

Lest we forget...

And you're in Didcot?

And what do you know about Didcot?

And what do you know about Didcot?

I've been there more times than I'd like to.

 

[Jbanged]

That website is utter
However, from the post I read which you have to click onto read replies , it seems it was a joke and our six fingered visitors are happy!

I absolutely love Delia, but yeah, that was embarrassing

Been here for over 4 decades and still get a buzz from going into town. I bloody love Brighton.
I went to Norwich for a lads weekend a few years back. Not a crazy place for a weekend but beer pubs and locals were all top notch.

I hope we stuff them tomorrow, but I have no beef with Norwich or their fans.

The greatest and truest statement about that part of the world comes from I, Partridge:

"1974 was a crazy, hazy time for Alan Partridge. The Sixties had come to East Anglia"

True but the chances are he arrived at Brighton Station!
