can you read?
as a bosun boy with loads of mates from the burrell arms,maytree and the eclipse i have an idea of what we could do. the point I made is that at the Goldstone we could rely on locals who supported the london teams to turn out for the "big games",that we could put up a good show against top sides but struggled against smaller clubs with a bit of clout.
ah my old local for many years,your know a few of the chelsea lads then

That's right you would have to be pretty daft to commit armed robbery,
bare faced and sporting a distinctive crucifix (home-made) tattoo.

The sad fact was that this person was in the throes of a serious mental illness.

Look I realise the flamers will be out for this one, but if I inform anyone who has a genuine interest in the subject matter I will leave well pleased.

Speak soon.

I was about to ask if the schools had gone back, then...

...or, his mum told him to turn off his computer and go to bed, school re-opens tomorrow!

Yes I do, now f*** off, child.

I like my L & S in navy or mushroom, red doesn't sit well with my complexion and puts at least 2 lbs on me

Titanic! Titanic tit more like, it happened it is part of football like it or not.

Why are there so many total twats on this site with the little in jokes and clique ramblings it really is boring and one of the main reasons why I and many others don't bother with this site any more.

the original poster said if your not interested he apoligises but you could not resist it you could you?

What rapier wit!

Clique... don't make me laugh.

I'm sure you are sadly missed.

No.

Great thread by the way... I just can't wait for the exciting history lessons, analysis and revelations about Brighton's 'casual' history.

In my hand is a photograph. Though the image is faded what I see remains
Clearly stamped upon my memory. It is the top deck of an old Brighton blue bus.
The bus is crowded with
Young men smiling across the decades, Locked for perpetuity into a frieze of eighties urban culture.
Sprawled across the seats the clothing stands out like a sore thumb to anyone
Who was part of that much maligned Terrace culture of the 80’s.
Gabbicci suede fronted cardigans, Farah hopsack trousers, Pringle sport
V necks , Kicker boots , a roll neck with a small Fila F on the collar. One
Lad, Darren Lyons, now long ago departed, holds his cigarette playfully over the head of a lone female (pretty) gamely sitting still despite the slightly intimidating audience.
It was a time that will never come again (as all are) the cusp of a new sub-culture
emerging from the train wreck of sub-cultures, cold left-overs from the decade that taste forgot, the seventies.
It is not going to be easy, and I anticipate a few snide comments from those who missed this bus, but I am willing to open up my memory bank and share it with you, if you want to come long for the ride.

I will begin tonight. You will not be disappointed.
