Blitzed it last night and was funny and worth a watch if you have an hour spare. I could make more than hour spare for Keeley though! [emoji14].

Watched all the episodes last night.
Well done Gripper, nice to see the sights of Newhaven on the screen, Gibbon Road etc
I spend a fair few hours at Newhaven FC ( especially in the bar ) I haven't seen Keeley at a match though

I wonder if anyone else spotted the great George Best putting in an appearance ( not everyone will get this )

Pedant alert- Why were the Newhaven team training on the pitch of their rivals Denton?

Showed my two boys last night (my youngest mentioned you had been into Seahaven Academy to talk about it) & they thought it was brilliant. My eldest saw a couple of people he knew which he had a chuckle at, including the young lad "Damo Best?" near the beginning who he used to play football with!

About 6 months ago I met with the guys from the Newhaven Regeneration Group. They asked me to make a TV series for them!

Here it is. Seaside Town - out on Amazon Prime in November and if you'd like to support the project on DVD here - www.seasidetown.tv

Enjoy... and if you get a chance to share the trailer that'd be great. x

What age range is this suitable for? Is it appropriate for a 9 year old? Reckon my son would love to watch it.

Should be fine. It stars a load of 9 year olds too!

Hope you enjoy it.

My son,23, was in the lounge when I put this on and said it is based in Newhaven. He watched a couple of minutes and I said you played against Denton when you were about 7. He said, really. Then went to his room to watch something else. [emoji21]

There is also a framed shirt from the match hanging on the wall in the bar, not sure if it's the one Best was wearing in the game.

I know George Best played in the match, my wife went to the game and has got the programme.
Also there is a photo of Best playing in the match hanging in the Newhaven FC bar.
I have also seen the link from that site, thanks.

I'm just not sure if the shirt hanging in the Newhaven bar was Best's match worn shirt, or it's just another players shirt from the same game.
