Next Seagulls over London Meeting – Falmer and more!

[Gilliver's Travels]

The next Seagulls Over London meeting will be held on Wednesday 19th March at The Royal Oak in Tabard Street, starting at 7.30pm. Guest speaker on the night will be the Albion’s operations manager and safety chief, Richard Hebberd, with a presentation on Falmer. This will be similar – though not identical – to the presentation given at Hove Town Hall last month. There will be every opportunity for the kind of thoughtful questions and intelligent discussion for which this metropolitan elite supporters’ group has rightly become renowned.


SoL background
If you live or work in the capital, you’ll get a lot from joining Seagulls over London. It’s an opportunity to hear about all things Albion, from the inside. A chance to meet other Seagulls fans and talk about the things that really matter – like whether Glenn Murray is quite possibly more Baz than BZ.

We normally meet in the third week of every other month and the venue is the Royal Oak, Tabard Street (nearest tubes London Bridge and Borough). And just to make you feel at home, it sells Harvey’s. SoL membership will cost you a hefty fiver a year. That’s right. Five Quid. Almost enough to buy a gallon of petrol for Richard’s journey home.

Kick-off on the night is at 7.30pm. We’re expecting a lively and convivial evening; you are advised to arrive early.

Must say, I am a little worried about the failed - or even absent - irony antennae in some quarters of NSC. Possibly a by-product of the kind of creeping Americanisation that has seduced some younger members into misusing words like ass...

But it's good to know that a few people do actually read these notices - even if it's only the same, usual suspects who ever actually get along. [ Cue angry posters complaining that there isn't a Seagulls over Worthing, or West Chiltington... ]

As for me, I never go. Besides, I'm not even a fan. Never have been....

Excellent! Sorry I shan't be. I mean, really. But will be nipping back for the Swansea game...

Mysteriously, three posts went up on this thread earlier in the day, and then just disappeared. Including items from bha4ever (I think), TLO and Clapham Gull.... Nothing notably insulting, nor Yorkie-baiting, nor more personally abusive than usual... Weird...

Unfortunately lectures still overlap with this night, but soon with timetable changes I'll be back on the Harveys.

Was it a good meeting?

Any reports?

A very interesting one, IMO.

The technical aspects of Falmer are extremely impressive, as is much of the micro-management associated with it. There are, however, in mind a number of unanswered questions relating to finance, future ownership and the evergreen issue of if we are seen as fans or consumers or something in between.

That must have been a pretty comprehensive attack of amnesia that I've suffered here, cos I don't remember posting on this thread.

Until this post.

Dam it - I would have made my SOL debut, but this appears to have been 3 days ago!

Yes, yes you did post. It was reprimanding someone who'd taken my 'metropilitan elite' quip seriously for sense of humour failure.

See? Sometimes, TLO, you just don't know what you're doing!
