What time were the last trains out of Falmer last night? Surely any events planner with a modicum of common sense would realise Eurovision never finishes before midnight, so if you want a drink you aren't going to watch it at an out-of-town venue. Maybe they should have shown the FA Cup final...

Yes, I'm sure a bloke who became a billionaire through shrewd business dealings and holding his nerve will now be thinking "f***, a football team we only have a rivalry with because of a series of events in the 1970s have won the FA Cup, I better go mad and spend loads of money to desperately...

Or maybe the renewal figures were (and always have been) made up? Always seemed odd to me that we had record renewals every season, even when the waiting list disappeared and then they were advertising season tickets on Facebook Sure the alarm will go off in Chailey over this post so we can...

The bus from Newhaven to Peacehaven is under 10 minutes. If you go via Brighton, it is more like 30 minutes. And that is without taking into account the added traffic on the coast road trying to avoid the A27

I hope anyone who set out to make the game but gave up because of the transport lets the club know that is what happened when their "You've been a naughty boy" email comes through this week

I would have left when the second goal went in if it was anyone else but West Ham. But the prospect of watching the Amex go nuclear at losing to Potter was too good to miss So, thanks Graham for keeping me there for such a great comeback

Man who couldn't handle 50 Brighton fans booing after a 0-0 draw struggling at club with supporters as entitled as West Ham? Who could have possibly seen this coming?

I've renewed because I like my seat, the people I've sat with since the Amex opened and don't want to lose it. But getting home after midnight for an evening game is now a massive inconvenience not really worth it to watch Aston Villa or Bournemouth. I can't make Sunday games for childcare...

From what I have heard, the new ground grading rules which the FA are seemingly going to apply strictly are to do with turnstiles of all things at SCFL Premier level at least . How many there, how wide they are, etc That could be why Midhurst are in trouble. But then so would YMCA, Roffey...

Team Rosenior in the hope it means RDZ gets sacked and we can get him back on the cheap once Bloom realises the error of his ways

Can't imagine he was too happy being sat in a 1,600 away end of our most loyal supporters who were singing "You don't know what you're doing" at his manager

This was the women's team training. Making it even stranger, seeing as there is normally much closer interaction between players and fans

Hurzeler has lost two out of two against Palace. Potter never won a game against Palace. If RDZ leaves Marseille, any chance we can get him in just to manage the Palace games?

Johnny and Warren are probably the last mainstream media outlet left willing to call things as being crap when they are crap Naylor is effectively a club spokesman now (ironic given we wouldn't have a club without him being part of The Argus team who rebelled in the 90s) and The Argus have...

Is this the stage where the club tell us every single year that renewal rates are at a record high? Or does that normally come later in the process?
