Never thought I'd see an Albion fan complain about other teams not playing in a "proper" stadium.

How many times did you visit the Withdean during out 12 year stay?

An average of six games per season and I remember the rain, the sleet, the mud.
4-3 loss v Rochdale, 3-2 loss v Swindon, 3-1 win v Reading. Those were games that were like having a cold shower with clothes on. If you want the rain sodden programmes you're welcome. I can dig them out.
The bottom line is that Gillingham can AFFORD to put a roof on the away end. Have you seen the rest of the ground in the flesh?

To be honest, plenty of Brighton fans complained about Withdean!
I'm sorry for having the gall to complain about a football league ground. I made a mistake as I've got one or two stressful things on my mind which have created a migraine. Apologies once again.

No need to apologise, just surprised to read your post after playing at Withdean for 12 years. I actually liked Withdean when it wasn't raining.

What was the opinion of those who watched him on TV today could he be the answer to our No 10 in January?

Apart from the free kick saw nothing to suggest we're missing anything there

Blackburn have agreed a fee with Gillingham to sign Dack. (peter orourke).

didn't Brighton pay for the away end to be built.

I thought that we paid for a striker, whose name alludes me at he moment, and they sold him for in excess of £2m which paid for that end to be built.

I thought we paid for that Stand that went the length of the pitch on the right hand side as you look from the wet away end

We did. The away end was similar to Withdean with plastic seats on scaffolding.

What was the strikers name? IIRC we had him on loan at one point possibly from Norwich.

Yep it was only agreed last week. Now reported as a deal.
