It will apparently, definitely NOT be the 'Falmer Flutter'.

It will be in the form of scratchcards, with a couple of different instant win chances, and the main lottery draw.

Hopefully the geezer will still be there, so 22,000 people can shout at him.

Well, I know the bloke with the beard is coming with us to Falmer.

I believe Lord B is a WSU Rooster.

Surely not required as we will get the result in HD on the TV screens

At last an end to the repetitive drivel of Get that board down. Repeated by the few who think it's endlessly funny to the annoyance of the majority who know it's not.

I love shouting 'get that board down!' :(

Someone on here a few years ago asked the question as to whether he gets into pre-season training by marching round his garden and his missus sitting in a chair by the back door shouting at him to' get that board down'. Still makes me chuckle when I think about it.

He's been lead to believe he'll be going to the AMEX but that's just a lie, the truth is that Ken Brown is plans to lure him round the back of the portakabins and despatch him with a bullet to the head after the last game at Withdean. This is because he knows the truth about where the cup final money went.

I still miss the cry of ''FOOTBALL HALF TIMES'' by the old Argus seller as we all piled out at the END of a match in the early seventies. I never sussed out why that would be a selling point after the games had finished.

This. There's a survey about it at the season ticket presentations. At the moment it is 'albion hat-trick', and features one section where you scratch off two panels - one with the time of the first goal, the other with the prize you win if your time matches, the second section is a scratch off giving you a number for a raffle draw, and the third section is an instant win prize that will hopefully include local prizes (meals at restaurants, cinema tickets etc).

The survery is about the name, the type-face, how often you do the withdean wager, how likely you are to play the hat-trick, and also raising the possibility of an albion lottery and how likely you'd be to take part, etc.

Falmer Flutter was suggested and has been shot down. No discussion. The club is not allowed to promote anything there as falmer. (well, I say 'not allowed' it might be club policy, might be part of the terms of the amex sponsorship to prevent fans ignoring the amex name, or whatever, point is, the club won't be referring to anything within the stadium as 'Falmer')

After the amount of abuse he once gave me once running the line at a youth football match, I get a great deal of enjoyment out of giving it back.
Dislike the man immensely.

There's only one thing that could excuse the board bloke not doing the circuit -

Having the electronic equivalent of this on the pitchside advertising boards...
