Reading the American article clearly the worry is the actual loss of revenue with 'no shows' both in terms of the sponsors perception of how many people they are really reaching, and the loss of ancillary sales on the day. I would imagine the 'no show' percentage is kept secret at the Amex for...
Ashley must have thought he was in a dream or a Disney movie. Being on the same pitch as the quality that surrounded him must have been surreal. Bloody good luck to him. I cannot think of one player we have now who has the passion, the drive, the enthusiasm and sheer guts that Mr Barnes gave to BHA.
What a long pointless thread, are there not more important things going on right now. Kerry occasionally hosted our lounge and was not brilliant. Bob Booker was the best and great fun, Andy Rollings is positive and sticks to facts, Kerry unfortunately liked to give his opinion which was not...
Latest on trains - just been in to Eastbourne Station, seems that original plan that all trains will be replaced with buses has changed only because of the football but be warned, the trains they are expecting to run direct to Lewes (no trains to Falmer) are not all running as still shown on the...
Watched it again and again last night, paused and re paused. 50/50 ball but Calde decided to swing a foot at it, their guy slid in and got there first, hence the ball changed direction and Calde kicked his shin and not the ball. One of those bad luck bits of timing but the way Calde swung his...
The big difference for me as said elsewhere was the speed of the break, as soon as we gained possession two of the back four broke quickly to midfield with Bridcutt dropping back into the middle to form a back line of three. I think this helped us break quickly but gave us the numbers in...
The Board have in my opinion managed the whole process perfectly and as the facts emerge BHA can hold their heads high. We have an exciting new Coach with an interesting history and successful first year in management. I wish that the speculators, rumour mongers, moaners, glass half full crowd...
They spent months negotiating with Eastbourne Borough, same time that they were gonna build a water park in Newhaven. Both fell through though Borough were at the final detailed stages including a magnificent ground redevelopment.
Skydome Toronto. Technology at its best, a pitch that zipped up, banks of seats that swivelled to suit sport, and a roof that closes. All they need now is a baseball team.
Just checking trains for Sunday morning, seems to be a Sunday service only, from the east only one train an hour without changing. This will be a nightmare, anyone in the know, will extra trains be added to the schedule showing at the moment? Surely the last thing the police want is for everyone...
Have just been checking trains before and after game v Watford. If coming any distance beware as all sorts of oddities both in restricted trains and stopping. Also it seems there are no 'extra' trains being put on for the game so the normal regular service with longer trains shuttling between...
When you see the replay and watch how far the defender drags the ball back under his boot to enable him to clear round the post I think it must have been over though I didn't think so in real time
Just remember that this time last year Reading were near the bottom and yet won promotion so anything still possible (not that I would want to emulate their Premiership year)
