Dick Knight to become Freeman of Brighton.

[The Large One]

Good call. Greens doing something right. Does it mean he will be able to drive his sheep up Lewes Road?

Not the Greens necessarily.

As a councillor told me earlier - "It came out of 'Leaders' Group', which is Jason Kitcat, Geoffrey Theobald, and Warren Morgan. I don't know which one of them proposed him, but all three agreed on it..."

Now there's a room you'd happily pay to avoid.

Being a freeman means that he could drive his sheep through Brighton and I think there would be a lot of those.

Freeman!,bit over the top,naming a bar after him was just about right

 

[Barrel of Fun]

No Mushy? Tch. Means nothing to me in that case.

Didn't the Martlets scale back operations under the stewardship of Roger French?

All well and good but where were Brighton Council when they gave planning permission to turn The Goldstone into a retail park and then when Dick Knight was in the process of saving the club with Brady and the fans? Nowhere to be seen is the answer. Your friends help you in the bad times and they were as spineless as the appropriately named FA.

Leave it to Ernest. He does it better.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

What about the naming of the bus?

Now Thunder Bolt, what would call Brighton Council's record towards the Albion in the 1990s to mid 2000s? Missing in Action at the very least I would say.

Brighton didn't come into it until we became a city in 2000. They voted 11-1 in favour of Falmer in 2002.
Perhaps you were thinking of Hove council?

DK to wear an Albion shirt with number 6 ripped off on the back

A point well made, its only half the current council (the Hove half) who should look at itself and its new found support for the institution that is the Albion.

A pisspoor wind-up, surely?

A bit lost in translation, that one.

Hence the Ernest comment from me.

Only the passed on have their names on the buses.
