The reason Southern Counties (and other BBC stations) don't broadcast the commentary over the web, is that the BBC don't own the rights. As far as I'm aware, the football league has sold the radio rights to the BBC, but internet rights to other companies (the parent company of Seagulls World...

I know of someone who wanted to franchise them in London, but was apparently rebuffed as the owner wasn't that fussed on expanding outside the South Coast. Shame really, as they had a really good brand for a while. They were around in Brighton long before McDonalds etc and could have expanded...

I think you get twats no matter what country you're in, but a good indication of how f***ed our society is, is the number of doorman/security guards we have. Every pub it seems now has one. And where I am, the local Sainbury's does, along with just about every shop on Oxford Street. If you go...

Look at Leon's performance against First Division teams and Second Division ones. That tells you something about the gulf between these two leagues. So Jake's performance in the conference needs to be viewed with some perspective. That said, if McGhee gets him to bulk up the same way he's...

When I lived in Patcham, I got exactly the same kind of comments from the Withdean residents who used to come to my door to petition against us returning there. I remember one of them telling me we'd be swamped with football fans every week. When I pointed out that half the matches are played...

Moyes did say on Five Live the other night that he definately wasn't going to buy anyone until the end of the season as the people he was after weren't available. He could be bullshitting of course, but then so could the people saying they know he's going to pay £750k for him...

I thought Tom Hark sounded good (despite the crap PA). If you're after constructive ways to improve it, how about the chorus being sung by a whole crowd of people? I think it would give it a bit more of a sing-along feel. I know every football record in the world does this (like the truly shite...

That's ridiculous. Just about the only thing that people outside (and frankly inside) the county might want to tune into for, and they don't play it. I know the BBC does not charge Premium TV - the company running Seagulls World and most other official clubs' sites - for it's radio coverage of...

According to a report on Radio 4 (Feedback, Sunday), all local radio will be put online by the end of the month. Not the most exciting news I know, but for those of us outside of Sussex, that means no more relying on BBC's useful but very, very boring text commentaries for the midweekers. The...

It's unfair to blame Piercey if he is still feeling the after effects of his illness. I don't think any player would refuse their manager if asked to play, as this is the only way they can prove their long-term usefulness, and thus keep their job. One concern I do have with him (and this was...

All seemed a bit suspicious to me. It sounded like he was ringing from indoors, yet was introduced as having gone to the game. I also can't believe anyone who travels up to Derby midweek (therefore a fairly commited fan) could be so clueless. Wouldn't surprise me if it was someone stirring...

You've got to keep 'bastards' in. Anything less, and the strength of feeling towards how much we hate them for putting us in this situation will be lost. You can always bleep it out, which would make people listen to the lyrics harder anyway as they tried to work out what is sung.

One of the (many) reasons for us getting relegated last year was we kept losing points to our direct competitors in the relegation battle. So it’s good to see that in our remaining eight games we only play two top-nine teams. Compare that to the other top-nine teams, and we look fairly well...

Don't know if this is old news, but whilst reading the Small Talk interview with Jonathan Pearce on The Guardian's football site, he mentions he lives in Brighton. He must keep a hell of a low profile, as I've never seen his name in connection with the town, nor have I seen him ever give any...
