I miss Gus. I know he had to go and all that, but he was part of an amazing era for our club. But I'm right behind Oscar and his team (literally, with my seat in WSL!!)

This thread is a seriously good and amusing read! I have to say I booked into a hotel in Theford (Norfolk) once when touring around the east for a week or so. The hotel was Ok ish, but then Mrs J and I went for a walk around the "town". Kids shrieking in the street, blokes effing and blinding...

Bit before my time this one but a great view of Brighton Station.

The survey doesn't work properly. I travel by train or coach, depending on ko time, so I put that in and the next q asks where I travel from by train, I have to put in Cooden Beach for the "other" option as its not listed (despite me putting in my post code it still offers me a choice of...

Snap. my 2 year old black lab was named Gus after the man. I have told my wife if we get another dog any time soon he's gonna be called Oscar :smile:

I heard from someone in the know that the North Stand could be expanded at the back but they would need to lose their offices currently located there. Presumably need to re-locate security box and screen too.

Blue and white ticker tape snowstorm from ESU and WSU please. Proper Argie 1974 World Cup style.

He will paint something unpleasant underneath your wallpaper/emulsion; e.g. up the palarse... so best keep an eye on him ???

Hull is hardly tin pot; greater urban area is 500k +. They have a good manager and finished second, why on earth don't they "deserve" it? Does a club have to be liked on Facebook or something to get promoted now? And an Albion hero scored yesterday too.

...and this is his chum Harvey. Named after the beer, obviously.

Say hello to Gus!! And yes, he was named in honour of the great man.

Donny; everything was perfect. The weather, the opposition, the flags, the result and the timing of the goals, the atmosphere, the beer, the pies, our lovely stadium, the press coverage, the journey in on the train, the drinks after the game, the journey home on the train, my wife being there...

The irony is that of all the gay people (male and a lot of females too) I've known since working in Brighton/Lewes etc (30+ years); none were born and bred here, all have moved here from Wales, Manchester, Bolton, London, Midlands etc etc ... in fact you name it, there are gay people from every...

Is absolutely correct. I thought it odd when this was stated at our season ticket presentation 2 years ago.

Love him; especially when he sends fergie into hissy fit hysteria. B****y foreign refs, don't they know the rules at Old Trafford?

Me too; the new ground seems to have lost the 1970's police dogs, helicopters, razor wire and 50 year old blokes trying to get at scarf carrying young away fans. Last night I had to laugh at the CCFC fans in the stand next to us happy to jeer and taunt us during the first half, then as the game...

That's so we can pick it up on the way back and take it to the bin, rather than dragging it around with us for the next few miles. To be honest, it's a major problem. I sometimes walk past 6 turds on the beach to pick up my dogs deposit. Sometimes I wonder why I bother.

WSL was the worse I recall for ages. 75 mins before KO it was OK but so it should be; it took 20 mins+ at half time to get a Bovril and even then I missed the first few minutes of the second half. After the game, the concourse was the busiest I can recall this season and they ran out of all...

Shall always remember the somewhat sad sight of Liam Brady trudging across Hailsham's Beaconsfield pitch before a pre-season friendly put on by Hailsham to raise funds for the Albion (yes, it was that way round). This man had graced the European Cup and pretty much everything at club and...
