    [Albion] Thrown out for taking a beer to seat

    I was in that stand and from what I could see, the guy didn't argue or make a fuss and left the stand with his son in a very orderly way. There was a beer bottle in the popcorn bucket he was carrying.

    [Politics] Easter Wishes

    I prefer Easter to Christmas in many ways. Four days off at a time of the year when nature is coming back to life and there's a sense of positivity and anticipation in the air. I can see why pagan communities felt like celebrating this period and why the Christian church decided it would be a...

    Losing Weight

    For what it's worth, I've got down to a healthy BMI like this. 1. Exercise each morning – no breakfast, just an Athletic Greens shake 2. Don't eat till 12 noon – then it'll usually be a big bowl of healthy muesli that's packed with nuts and seeds etc but no added sugar, and maybe a pear, maybe...

    [Albion] Gut feeling - RDZ staying or going after this season?

    Agree with a lot of this. I'd love RDZ to stay but also think his managerial genius is occasionally exaggerated. He's still learning and I'd like to see him be a bit more adaptable and sometimes pragmatic in his tactics. Roma and Luton both blew us away and a different tactical approach may have...

    [Albion] The lost generation

    I wasn’t in my normal seat last night and we found ourselves in and around a group of lads who I would guess were all late teens and early twenties. They were loud and a bit pissed and silly and sweary and we had to stand up a lot of the time to see the action because they were up and down so...

    [Albion] Leonardo Trossard

    Still grates a little bit to see him in those colours but I find myself enjoying his performances and wishing him well. In a way that I can also muster for Mac Allister and Burn but not for Caicedo, Sanchez or Cucurella.

    [Albion] Enciso Was awful

    I suspect every one of our players gave everything last night even if performances were sub-prime. Julio's body language didn't do him any favours at times, though. Probably just frustration with himself. I realise he's still a young and very raw talent.

    [Albion] We now have a BETTER chance of playing in Europe next year

    Another one here who would be DELIGHTED to be in the Conference next season. When we were in the fourth division and singing about following the Albion over land and sea, we didn't think these days would come. Our overseas awaydays were friendlies in Ireland.

    [News] Life in Seaford.

    The beach became quite busy during Covid, with people unable to travel abroad, and many of them still come back in the summer months, in numbers we didn't really see pre-2020. It's OK because it's a long beach and there's more than enough room for everyone, and there's just about enough...

    [News] Life in Seaford.

    Absolutely not the case I'm afraid. Not a single Tory councillor from Seaford (or anywhere in Lewes District) and the town voted Remain.

    [News] Life in Seaford.

    Lived here for 18 years. Tend to think of it as a large village rather than a town as you soon get to feel you know a lot of people, especially if your kids are at school here. Shop-wise you can generally find most of what you’re ever likely to need for day to day needs and even some of the...

    [Misc] HR / work question…

    Glad I'm not in these environments any more but I do remember how easy, and common, it was for HR departments and higher-ups in general to destroy goodwill with actions like this. I made all kinds of mistakes when I was managing a team. I was fairly young and didn't have any real management...

    [Football] European Super League Approval

    I'm in favour of an A22 super league. I guess it would include teams like Eastbourne United, Hailsham Town, Uckfield, East Grinstead and Whyteleafe. Absolutely huge marketing potential.

    [News] Steve Wright RIP

    I would have seen you. I was in the front row. You weren’t the guy who gave his name as Arthur Ritis were you?
