From Sussex Police:
Don’t be alarmed by the multi-agency exercise at The Amex in Brighton on Thursday.
We test our skills on a regular basis with the aim of keeping the public safe.
People may notice a spate of activity as emergency crews respond to the mocked-up match day scenario in a part...
With 10 years service from signing professional terms, Dunky should be due a testimonial in 2020, or 2021 if it's taken from 1st team debut.
Will he still be with us? (and how many new contracts will he have before then?)
Who should we try to get as opposition? (He's scored a fair few goals...
Pondering some random trivia: Who is the earliest player to be professionally on Albion's books (so ruling out Gareth Barry) who is still playing professional football?
I'm guessing at Adam El-Abd (first professional contract in 2003 according to wikipedia).
Joel Lynch and CKR not far behind...
Given the WC semi-finalists involvement in the tournament isn't finishing until at least Saturday; how long will it be until the players meet back up with their clubs?
According to Naylor's story Jose, Maty & Balogun have all been given about three weeks from their exit to return to training...
With Gaetan out of contract here, and Poco out at West Brom; what direction do you think we'll go in?
I can see Bong being released and Poco offered a contract, albeit maybe with another first choice coming in.
Possibly just in the background given his disagreements with Lord Tony but surprised not to have seen our Life President quoted anywhere in the media.
Have I missed him being interviewed?
BBC Sussex reporting this £250M scheme has been cancelled by Chris Grayling "due to lack of council support".
Seems Transport Sec wants to follow up on allowing the trains to go to pot by keeping Sussex's roads a nightmare.
David Cameron was at the training ground today to meet the emergency services involved in the Shoreham disaster. Typical that the argus doesn't have a clue!

Evenin' Standard reporting Palace, Leicester and WBA are all after Steve Cook in January for between £2M & £3M, anyone know if we have a sell on clause? An extra six figure sum would be a nice little bonus for a player who made only made three appearances.
Is it today that the players report back? Only two weeks to the Lewes match but no fanfare about the training ground etc.
Kaz tweeted JFC yesterday that he couldnt wait to see him and was excited about pre-season but all seems quiet on more formal news sites.
With 'Thank you Errea' on the cover of the programme today could the new Nike shirts be revealed this week or is it just a tribute to our longstanding supplier with Friday's cover presumably being Matty Upson (or some other surprise player of the season)?
Sheff Utd's Chief Exec just been on the radio talking about their trip to wembley tomorrow:- "it's a weekend of celebration for the whole of Sheffield"... Yeah bet it's going to be a real carnival at Hillsborough :facepalm:
I didn't make the last match so apologies if fixtures but according to the south end kiosk in WSU 'we don't do chicken balti pies anymore"... No chips up here, no fancy pulled pork baps and now the pie choice is cut! When do we get something special!?!
Nice to see Wayne B. and the lovely Ms Sandford (pre-baby bump) on League of Their Own tonight. Wayne's initiation at the Albion got a mention, singing and dancing to a Saturdays song.

Oh look there go the wheels!
Heads up that National Rail Enquiries seem to indicate there won't be any trains between Haywards Heath and Brighton that weekend, HH - Lewes, Lewes - Brighton look ok though.
With all the Royal chitter chatter going around it prompted a discussion in the office about titles and suchlike. After a quick spin around the wiki I stumbled across the fact (as much as wikipedia deals in such things) that Prince Harry has been promised the title "Duke of Sussex" when he gets...
