Wonderfully, I've looked through some of the old newspapers cuttings I got last week and it includes a four-page pull-out from before the Tigers' last game. Will get that scanned in first later in the week.
I just snapped up about 20 programmes and some old newspaper cuttings this morning.
Will set aside a few hours next week to upload as much of them and the rest of my collection as I can to my Tigers website. Not updated it for months, so appologies all round on that front.
I have been doing a fair bit of research over the last few months in preparation for a book I am planning on The Tigers. Anyone who has any pics etc or would like to contribute either as someone who used to watch them or a relative of a player, please do DM me.
One thing I would say to anyone...
Was fortunate enough to have lunch with a former Brighton Tiger last week. Brilliant bloke.
Got a load of programmes I am uploading to my website over the next week as well. Will post when they go up.
I have now managed to make a start in each section and have THREE match programmes uploaded for people to read.
Just click HERE
Adding new player profiles, pictures etc throughout the week.
Anyone who wants updates when something new goes up and who is on Twitter, follow brighton_Tigers
Sad news. Nobby Richardson the last living pre-war Brighton Tigers player has died at his care home in Steyning.
If anyone is interested, I have started researching a book about the Brighton Tigers. Just a labour of love really, nothing that will make any money. Have managed to get in touch...
Cheers, hadn't spotted that.
Wouldn't it be AMAZING to have a Sussex team again? I love going up to Guildford but it does not always seem right supporting a team from Surrey...
For anyone who is interested, I did a little piece on Bobby Lee.

Come on, own up, who outbid me on this on eBay:
Also, apparantly, Bobby Lee's grandaughter read my blog on The Tigers.

Inspired by this thread I have done a little blog which I meant to weeks ago but never got round to.

My grandpop used to go, loved it.
Wish there was a team here now. I ruddy love ice hockey but have to go up to Guidlford to watch it.
Anyone who has not been, worth a visit. About £8 for adults, about half the games kids under 16 go free. A lot of Sunday evening games.
