Just as good I went to the Ritz in Seaford in the 70’s!
When I was very young, I remember seeing the site of Newhaven’s old cinema, in the side road just to the south of High Street.
Nostalgia.
If half the NS wants to stand a lot, especially in the back half, I haven’t got a problem with that. I prefer to sit myself.
In the cinema and theatre, patrons don’t chant, swear, abuse opposing players, jump up and down, disappear for a p, disappear and miss a load of the action to get pints...
That was my take. Although I’ve always been on the right side of the law, I felt sorry for some of those singled out. It seemed over the top with the ‘spotters’, all over modern infractions. I know it’s the law and that could be repercussions for clubs, but on many visits to other stadia such...
