Fukc me! If you win tomorrow, you will have done the double over them. When did that last happen?

I thought the whole point of the ground being sold was that it avoided bankruptcy. Albion were then homeless but not bankrupt, they paid Gillingham to use their ground for two years, didn't they? Just avoiding relegation did not mean that they avoided bankruptcy. It was Dick Knight and co. who fixed that.

A relegated Albion would not have gone to Gillingham, I guess, but a nearer ground to Brighton would have met Conference requirements.

The whole point of the Goldstone being sold, was so Archer and his mates could cash in. The bankruptcy was a smoke screen.

No idea? Tomorrow I hope! Although in honesty I am expecting another defeat

My initial point was that the protest at the Orient game was "over the top" because by then Albion had been taken over by Dick Knight and co. And Dick Knight would not have allowed Albion to go out of existence if they had been relegated.

That's only my belief of course, but if Brighton and Hove Council had been faced with the possibility of Albion going out of existence, I believe they would have given clearance for Withdean more quickly. Withdean as it was then would quite likely have met Conference requirements, which were far less strict than they are now.

What the Dick Knight era proved was that there were never "a few money making business men" interested in supporting Albion. Until Tony Bloom.

Why do you persist coming on here spouting all your sh*te. The Leyton Orient game was the 7th March 1997 the sale of the club was agreed in principal on the 12 th March 1997 and finalized some 6 months later. Withdean at that time had not even been thought of and the Conference League had already stated that they would not accept Brighton if ground sharing. If we had lost at Hereford basically it would have been the end as a Conference or Football league team for Brighton. So all your assumptions are wrong.

As I have already said the Conference League had stated they do NOT allow ground sharing.

Really disappointed that Crouch got his 100th goal last week, I would have enjoyed seeing him do the robot against the Palace school of Dance and rhymic interpretation

£120k p/w for BENTEKE? Blimey, that's even higher than what I expected (£80k p/w)

He's worth every penny

Wayne Rooney on £300k a week.

So you could pay the wages of Kane, Lukaku and Defoe and have nearly £3m a year change. Or you could pay Rooney.

 

[Perry Milkins]

He did.

Sure?

You can't go anywhere to do with Palace without it being cringeworthy though.

Tell me Blokie is it true that they come out to Dancing Queen not Glad All over for all you Tarquins?

I think any game with Stoke in is too hard to predict!

 

[Triggaaar]

Sure?

Yes. His post was a reply to mine, and his first comment was aimed at me.
