I don't remember it being there, but I wasn't old enough to go into pubs in 1975.

Yep it was a chippie after the feathers but before the pub went there was a chippie on the other side of the road,golden spoon run by a Greek early 70's

Remember both well. The Greek one went before the one on the Feathers site IIRC.

Silly old bat
I'm beginning to think that my new adventure may not be such a good idea after all.
I decided to start supporting a new club (I won't go into the reasons right now) and chose the Seagulls. What better way to learn everything there is to know about my team than join their forum.
However, in the few days I've been here, I've been accused of being various people I've never heard of and the majority seem to think I'm a Palace fan. If I was, I'd have joined their forum instead.
This may be hard to believe but I wasn't even aware of how big the rivalry was until I came here.
Anyway, I am having second thoughts now as I don't really think that I'm welcome. I have no reason to dislike Palace/Pardew. Sorry, but I'm being honest.
Are you only allowed to support the Gulls and be accepted on here if you hate them?
What has supporting Torquay go to do with it?

I was probably in the same queue as you after a night at the Top Rank Suite or Sherrys.

GroupOn deals. Good Idea ? Yes or No ?I'm beginning to think that my new adventure may not be such a good idea after all.

Well you say that, but other Palace fans have joined here and pretended to be Brighton fans. I have no idea why, they're a weird lot. People here don't know you at all. We have had a fair few people join the forum and start threads like yours, and they've turned out to be fans of other clubs, so that's why several people have assumed you're a Palace fan.
So if you're not a Palace fan, you've no reason to be upset (you don't dislike them anyway) and if you are, you need to work on your disguise.
If you've chosen to support Brighton, I'm sure you had reasons, so I can't see why that would change on the basis of a few posts on a forum.
No, there are plenty of posters who don't express a dislike for them. But as I've explained above, we get Palace fans join here and pretend to be Brighton fans, but as they're Palace fans they can't bring themselves to admit how shit their club is, so it's an easy way to out a Palace fan. That's why you've been asked.Are you only allowed to support the Gulls and be accepted on here if you hate them?

That will largely depend on you. You're joining a forum of football fans, you have to expect a bit of hazing. Once you know the Brighton and NSC language then it'll all make a bit more sense.
I'm not sure about your previous club, but you wouldn't expect most Tottenham fans to not have an issue with Arsenal, or old school City fans to be cool with Utd? Or anyone to like Millwall?
I get not having an issue with Palace, especially if you aren't a Brighton fan or CPFC creditor, but you genuinely think Alan Pardew is alright!?!
You're welcome.
That depends on what you post.
Obviously I have no idea, I don't know anything about you. I don't mind whether you're a Brighton fan or a Palace fan to be honest. If you're a Brighton fan, welcome, if you're a Palace fan I'm surprised you don't have a better way to spend your spare time.
Exactly. Until then, don't take the doubt personally, it's because of previous posters not being genuine.
So...
are you a male or female supporter? You say you're not a young fan - have you been supporting a different club before now? And if so, why the change, and if not, why the sudden desire to support a football team?

[MENTION=4019]Triggaaar[/MENTION] Feather is a she, and was into glam rock bands and Bay City Rollers, so must be around late forties / early fifties. She said she decided to support a new team, implying a previous team but not sure. Mentioned she didn't want to go into reasons just yet.
Jessica Fletcher out.

I was going to lambast you for inconsistency, although I suppose you didn't specifically state you like Bay City Rollers in your previous post. I'm still feeling very suspicious. Especially since we don't know what went on with your previous club, how long you were supporting them and why you like Pardew so much.

Maybe she tried to get a free shirt out of her old club and they said no.

EXACTLY what I was just thinking! I've suggested MB get in touch - they can do some sort of club swap together. That way both clubs don't lose out on net supporters, and both aggrieved fans get to start again.
Perhaps they could even swap forum accounts so that they have a bit of history and kudos built up.

Sounds a good idea. Before you can say nobody loses out, we need to understand size of family and relative wealth. Maybe one club will need to compensate the other
More early fifties I'd think. Cassidy and the Rollers were mostly swooned over by the slightly older (and sadly unattainable) girls when I was at school............

Indeed. I was just trying to be a gent. Not like you Dazzer, bowling in with your Gorilla manhood smashing about the place.
I'm not sure where I was going with that.
