[Albion] Should we move the Boxing Day Game to Withdean?

Walkable for Brightonians.

It’s a bit far to walk for this Brightonian as i live in Newhaven, probably similar story for other real Brightonians that no longer live there.

This would be a positive for me as I occasionally enjoyed buying chips at Withdean.

Great idea, however we may end up with too many people arriving for a bit of nostalgia

I would love to see us play there again. Maybe we should petition Mr Barber for there to be one pre season friendly there each year. We could say it is to make sure new players know the history but would more be for the old farts to reminisce and have a few pints at the Sportsman

Would be great for all the supporters who live in the Hove park area !!

Nowhere near as much money is spent on the pitch since the Albion stopped using it so I wouldn't think the players would be too impressed,

A Mr Whippy at halftime was quite unique. Happy memories (sat dry in the Northstand that is) and the singing section everyone together seemed to work maybe the Amex could introduce a singing section?

Oh yessss, the guy sat in front of me always brought binoculars to the games so he could peer in at them from across the pitch.

Mind you he was a pervert.

The corporate side of Withdean was always enjoyable, even had a steward ask me not reappear for the 2nd half Forcing me to drink even more.

5 minute stroll, all downhill, from front door to seat. What's not to like
