A real shame as several guys lost a lot of money on Brighton Brears they started under the name of Brighton Giants Chevron etc they also played at the old Brighton boys club over fifty years ago Dave goss who owned Clapshaw cleave don't know if that's spelt right near the Clock Tower. Up the H Heath Panthers and TigersShame the Bears went out of business. I rather liked the old Brighton Centre games. Never saw Rodman but I did like a bit of Randy Duck.

I watched them in Worthing Brighton Centre and the Triangle. They had good surport in Worthing and mid SussexYes and don't forget they completely stitched Worthing up as well, taking a lot of the equipment with them that the supporters club had purchased.
They actually left a bad taste in the mouth when they went belly up. The Worthing Thunder still exist and even played in the BBL until a couple of years ago, of course there is just no money in basketball and they back in the EBL now.
I was at his first game in Burgess Hill. Decided to support the opponents (Guildford Heat) as I'm from round there originally. I was chanting "we don't need a gimmick" from the back of the auditorium, and the Brighton coach Nick Nurse left his seat on the touchline in the middle of the game and came up to chat to me as he thought I was a disgruntled Brighton fan, bless him. My mate gatecrashed the post-match press conference and ended up sat on Rodman's lap passing him cigars. It goes without saying that we were both very drunk.
