The Swan now Albion friendly

Aren't some of you assuming too much?

Maybe, whilst having strong anti-stadium views of his own, he also respected the fact that others might have other opinions, and that he had no right to impose his views on them. (An attitude that is sadly lacking in some on NSC!)

Maybe when making his will he knew what the new owners would do. It's not as if they were strangers to him.

Do they have a car park?

It holds about 8 cars maximum

 

[Knotty]

No, it's simply an attitude of if you love something say so, if you hate something say so, and if you have no opinion then stay out of the argument. I'm certainly not trying to draw attention to myself, maybe I'm trying to draw attention to the disgusting pair who have inherited what must be the equivalent of several hundred thousand pounds and stabbed the guy who gave it to them in the back. Nobody seemed to have picked up on that until me.

As for the plum who gave the example of a house above, it's hardly the same as well you know. Nobody owns a house and uses it as a centrepiece for standing up for something, for making their principle known. And that pub was the centre of their anti-stadium campaign. If I used my house as, for example, a shrine to Lewis Hamilton and then I left it to my mate when I died who ripped it down and built a statue of Fernando Alonso, I would say my memory had been trampled on.

The fact that "nobody picked up on it" but you doesn't make you right. You have no idea what conversations took place between him and the new owners beforehand.

I think every team needs an extremely hostile home pub...I can never gey used to us all drinking in a false spirit of bonhommie in the Sportsman.

 

[Hungry Joe]

To Badger and anyone else agreeing with him; have you not noticed the alarming rate of pub closures in the last few years? Get your heads out of your bottys, whoever took on the pub was never going to miss this opportunity, it's a business and their livlihood. I'm sure the previous owner would rather see the pub full of Brighton fans than boarded-up and empty.

So is the garden big at the Swan?

PS - Could I just say it's BEAUTIFUL that we're discussing where to drink when we move to our new stadium! YEARS I've waitied for this

You've got as much of the south downs as you want as their back garden
