Seagulls over London with The Old Bill – Tonight!

The next meeting of Seagulls over London will be held on Thursday, 25th January, starting at 7.30pm.

Just for a change, we’ll be departing from the Norm, along with the Deans, Jakes and any other notoriously hard-to-get players. Instead, our guest speakers are two people with a policing and safety role with the club.

First is the familiar figure of PC Darren Balkham, Sussex Police's Football Liaison Officer. He’ll be joined by Richard Hebberd, the Albion’s Operations Manager. So you can expect some interesting and possibly controversial views, on such matters as ground safety, crowd control and even football hooliganism.

An arresting evening almost certainly awaits, and all are very welcome.


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 Falmer might still be completed in time for the 2018 World Cup.

We normally meet on the third Thursday 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. No increase in subs since 1921.

Kick-off on the night is at 7.30pm. We’re expecting a lively evening and a very healthy turnout, so get there early. Because you’ll probably need to go through electronic security, retina recognition and DNA profiling. (For any American readers or Jade Goody, that’s actually a joke.)

The last one was. Wednesday, 22nd November.
But since you didn't turn up to that one either, Dave, we sadly reverted to Thursdays...

I am really sorry I couldnt make that one.....trouble is the job I do you are never quite sure If you are working in London, Hounslow, Leicester, Coventry or called out to far flung places.

Thursdays are a problem because of choir rehearsals..

I can't make this one, unfortunately, owing to a school governors' meeting. Harvey's Old or instant Nescafe, not a difficult choice, is it? Unfortunately, as we are in the process of appointing a new Head, I don't have much choice.

In London village.
Another very interesting evening.

One of the more striking points being the degree of agreement between DB and supporters on a number of issues.

We will have to do something about his choice of football club, mind you.
