oooooh - interesting topic!

 

[The Large One]

Hmmm. For every Huddersfield, Coventry and Southampton, there is also a Hull City, Swansea City and Reading.

It's not necessarily the stadium move per se, it's more down to how the club is administered.

What Falmer does do is increase the potential for success.

edit: do fans really think that playing at withdean in perpetuity, as opposed to a state of the art stadium, is likely to result in:

Success!, maybe the Premiership and the Champions League?

More interminable years of lower league obscurity playing against Hartlepool and Oldham.

Well done on closing the thread and ending the phone in Alan!

Hopefully the main topic of discussion will be a SCINTILLATING Albion performance, which coupled with Leeds' and Southend's defeats to Orient and Crewe, respectively, have seen them move back into sixth place.

Or we could of course ignore the actual football and find something to MOAN about?

The Liberty and KC are owned by the repesctive councils, are they not? Didn't Madjeski pay for the stadium with little reliance on borrowing and transfer it to the club?

Your point being?

Well, what a dull topic. The days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer (except this weekend), I want a phone-in debate about where the best European beaches are for large-breasted women.

Failing that, I want to hear about the bitchfest that the phone-in is going to be with Richie, Brett and Vultureboy.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Your point being?

Risk!

 

[The Large One]

Risk!

Oh f***. If we're going to be debating that, I definitely won't listen.

 

[The Oldman]

I thought it was the fans phone in "where you set the agenda"? Hope we can talk about the match at some point.

Great idea: there'll be nothing else to talk about. I mean there's the Port Vale game but hey, Falmer is much more immediate. There's the most important game of the season so far at Southend on Tuesday - but no, let's talk about Huddersfield, Southampton Leicester and Coventry because we might run out of things to say about our own club. Incredulous!!!

Talk about glass half empty, you only have to look at the likes of Wigan, Reading, Bolton, Middlesbrough & Sunderland to see the benefits of a new stadium.

The clubs mentioned above would all have struggled irrespective of their new grounds because of the way that the clubs were being run!

Christ - what next? Barbara's clemetis that flowered off-season, Douglas Wittering who is celebrating 65 years as a boy scout?

What a heap of cack

Dean,
I think this is an ill-advised topic to suggest for Harty's phone-in.
Many people have little understanding of company finance and/or how businesses are run - you only have to take a look at some of the NSC threads on 'Leeds', transfer targets, contracts, player salaries, ticket prices etc etc to realise this. Unless you get some callers who know about the detailed financial situations at BHA and the other clubs in order to establish a valid comparisons (if such exists?), I suspect then you'll end up with something like that tedious evening phone-in programme on SKY Sports - ie: ill-informed personal opinion and waffle. Sorry but I just don't see the point?
Regards
N

I agree that is much more interesting!

Hart out

 

[Harty]

No boys you are all missing the point here, there is nothing more than I would like to take the first 10 calls or so all from people at the match talking about the game, an emphatic 4-0 win etc, and hopefully that will be the case.
But 10 years of Phone-ins prove that some results, narrow and even boring wins, are not condusive to a busy show, therefore a sub topic is like a safety net, and a policy of all of the BBC regional phone-ins.

Also taking into account that hopefully 7,000 Albion fans will have watched the game live but the SCR Sussex phone-in audience is over 40,000, so you don't totally alienate the people who have not attended the match.

Quiet weeks are part and parcel of the format, he won't mind me saying this but on the occasions Simon Levinson has taken the phone-in the callers numbers have been very low, a sup topic, which Levo will use next time he sits in for me, might alter this.

Always prepared to listen to our beloved audience, Hawesy and I, with TLO's excellent retro shop in mind will now go with the following, " Football in the 1970's is forever being talked about, if you could bring one aspect back from the 'golden era' what would it be?"

A question which will be put to Messrs Morris, Mendoza and Vulture in the pub before the game.
