Terraces will never come back as it would cost the clubs alot to get rid of the seats, and stadiums look nicer in pictures with seats

I know he's just trying to get votes, although I think the reason why they won't come back probably ISN'T because stadiums look nicer in pictures with seats.

i said the reason they couldnt was money, and im making the point that stadiums look neater and cleaner with seats.

Cass Pennant has a chapter in his "congratulations, you've just met the ICF" book about a weekend in Brighton in 1978.

I remember the game well....i was there and west ham won 2-1 with a brace from Bryan 'pop' Robson.....but Pennant says it kicked off quite a few times in Brighton and he rekons it was a pretty scary place to come despite Brighton not having a "proper firm"

Remember being at the 1982 game at the goldstone too when Brighton won 3-1 (all i remember is Alan Devonshire scoring a late goal for us) but right at the end....i'm sure the north satnd was invaded by west ham. I can remember seeing loads of hastle plus loads of riot cops etc.
