The Swan now Albion friendly

Not sure if they will be popular with the locals! With good bars at the ground itself, wonder if they would get fans going in significant numbers. I'd probably give it a go on the odd occasion!

doesn't it hold about 10 people though?

12...

Not the biggest, but they do have a decent Beer Garden which will be nice in the Summer !

'Mr Woodruff died in June and left the pub and its grounds to a family that had worked for him for years.'

So are they related to JW or not?

No.

 

[CHAPPERS]

f*** that, the pubs by London Road station are a much better option, especially the Signalman.

 

[Napper]

If its a decent sized garden then I'd go .

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Can nobody spare a thought for those poor Ducks?

With good bars at the ground itself, wonder if they would get fans going in significant numbers.

Will people really want to drink at the ground for more than, say, an hour though? I'd much rather stay in the pub and arrive at the stadium just in time for a quick one. Drinking under a football stand on a plain concrete concourse surrounded by the smell of stale burgers and Sky Sports News on mute is actually not much fun.

 

[Stu1]

There's no way this would not have happened whoever owned it!

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i'll probs drink around brighton station to be honest

 

[Lady Bracknell]

I plan to drink in Lewes beforehand and arrive at the stadium refreshed. With an urn of half-time tea and the customary posh biscuits in my bag, of course. As a matter of pure curiousity I'd be interested to see how attitudes may have changed at the Swan but I rather doubt there has been a sea change, so to speak. In the same way as I see no evidence that Melanie Cuttress has been begging for an audition with Gully's Girls. Unless anyone knows differently....

Do they have a car park?

 

[Tooting Gull]

It's up to them, but if they want a 'rebrand' I think they'd manage it just fine. Different landlord, different attitude, new start with a captive audience. As for the remaining sniffy customers, they'd be so outnumbered on a matchday it wouldn't matter.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Do they have a car park?

A small one ... capacity of about a dozen cars.

Funnily enough I popped in there for a couple of beers for the first time in years the other night and was quite impressed. Remember when it was the Railway and it was a dump. They also had a mental football team who used to play in the Sussex Sunday. How times have changed!

Yeah, it's good in there now. Nice little garden too.

 

[Bakesy]

i will probably have my pre-match anaesthetic in Seaford before hopping on the train(with carry outs of course) about 2:25 which will drop me at the door just in time for kick off

john never had time for football or smoking, and cert would not have entertained albion fans...one thing i can say for john, his lady friend done some super basic english grub, and good value at that, anyway as for pubs to drink in, what about the hikers rest, coldean lane?? now thats a true albion pub... not since weekend i went with load lads there and got nicked at bournmouth yrs back, have i been in there .. still... im sure theres a warm welcome awaiting non regular albion fans..or maybe not so much warm!!
