    [Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2024/25 Edition

    Great pics and I'm pleased United are doing well. The ground looked so awful for so long and now seems pretty impressive. More than anything, I'm delighted that they have a player called Arthur Grout.

    [Albion] Potter / Bruno return

    I don't care I don't care I don't care enough to BOO I don't care enough to boo

    [Football] Eastbourne Vs Worthing

    I was in that beer queue and yes, it took half an hour to get served, but some of those minutes were down to the Worthing blokes in front of us letting in about six of their mates. The crowd was two or three times what’s normally expected at Priory Lane. We all got into the ground on time and...

    [Football] Eastbourne Vs Worthing

    I can find a news story suggesting redevelopment of Priory Lane but nothing to suggest a new stadium at a different location. Is that your understanding?

    [Albion] Did you boo?

    Like you, I didn't clap them off either. I normally do after a defeat, but not in a game like yesterday's. I've never booed Brighton, even in games when we're been awful, but paying supporters can make their own choices I guess. I seem to remember that when we were REALLY bad there was more of...

    [Football] Eastbourne Vs Worthing

    Got two tickets for Friday's game and will be cheering Borough. Used to go there a lot when my kids were tiny and before the Amex was built. Great to see them challenging for the fifth tier again. As for league football ... I suspect that will be a bridge too far. The ground is a long way out...

    [Albion] Crystal Palace v Brighton & Hove Albion *** SCORE PREDICTOR ***

    Dreamt last night they were 2-0 up after a couple of minutes and went on to beat us 8-0. So I’m staying well out of this.

    [Football] Let’s hear it for Selhurst Park!

    Never been but obviously seen it on tv and from the vantage point of the train. I even did a google street view tour of the area once just to get my head around it. Strikes me as the sort of stadium that’s very easy to ridicule when it belongs to our closest rivals, but which we’d probably feel...

    [Travel] A27 Patcham Eastbound

    Plane landed bang on time. Straight through passport control, onto the bus for the car park, and was driving out of Gatwick by 6.30pm. Couldn't have gone any smoother. Some slow traffic coming off the A23 and all the way through the A27 works but I was parked by 7.20pm, and in my seat with a...

    [Travel] A27 Patcham Eastbound

    It's a thought but I'm giving people a lift home tonight – and need the car first thing.

    [Travel] A27 Patcham Eastbound

    Plane gets into Gatwick North Terminal at 6.05pm. No checked luggage, parked in long stay. Parking at Sussex Uni for the game. What are my chances of getting to my seat before half time?

    [Albion] The timing of the pre-match GOSBTS

    The only thing I don't really like is the Richie Reynolds intro. We don't need to be told it's time to sing Good Old Sussex by the Seeeeaa!!

    [Football] Championship Tuck Up

    I was in that drinking establishment only this week. A very pleasant place to spend an evening. Actually my visit changed my entire view of Leeds generally, at least as a city, and I do know a few Leeds fans from the area who are thoroughly pleasant people. And yet. There's still something...

    [Albion] Quarter Final Time and Date [Saturday 29th March - 5:15pm]

    Especially when they do that ridiculous Bielsa-style squat which takes them down three or four more feet. Howe was doing it on Sunday, and Amorim (and Martin) have been at it too this season. What is that all about?

    [Food] Curries in Seaford

    Prefer Bengal Palace personally. Food always nice, friendly staff. I know some people prefer Moon of India.
