    Falmer station rail links improvement

    Not sure if this has been posted yet, but it sounds good. Longer platforms and improved signalling meaning more trains. (Although there will obviously be disruption whilst the work is carried out)...

    The 'From the Chief Executive' forum

    Haven't wanted to mention this before as I appreciate it's very much an add-on to NSC and I don't want to appear ungrateful - but is there any chance it could be updated? I don't think there's anything there from 2013.

    What players have been (almost) 100% popular?

    Reading the 'Players who divide opinions like Ashley Barnes' thread, how many players have really been 100% accepted by the crowd? There are some names appearing on that thread that I wouldn't have thought divided opinion at all, but then I remembered that even Peter Ward had his knockers...

    What's your favourite cookery programme?

    Over the last few months I've got really hooked on Man Vs Food, a refreshing antidote to all those annoying celebrity chefs or poncy middle-class twats on programmes like Masterchef. There are SO many places in America I want to go to now. An honourable mention however to the Hairy Bikers, it...

    What colour shirts at Liverpool?

    There is obviously no colour clash with Liverpool - so will we be wearing blue and white? There's a bit of debate as to whether the green and black is an AWAY kit or a CHANGE kit, however I'm sure most Brighton fans would love to see us playing such a high profile match in our traditional colours.

    A question about the expansion

    We've seen the diagrams of where the seats are going, we've discussed, at great length, the transport issues and the effect the expansion will have on the non-footballing element of Brighton - but has there been any mention of toilets and catering kiosks? The biggest issue people seem to have...

    The Lady (film)

    New Luc Besson film now out about the life of Burma's pro-democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi. Even if it's not your cup of team go and watch it as it features Brighton's very own Jonny Raggett (former Stringer pupil) as her son. Kim. Now that Matt King (Super Hans from the Peep Show) seems to...

    Uhh oh, don't anybody tell Marshy but Capello ...

    If you like modern choral music ....

    ... and have an hour free on Saturday lunchtime and are in the Shoreham area, come along to St Mary's Church. A small choir (don't know the name) are giving a short recital, only about an hour, of choral pieces by living British composers ranging from Howard Goodall to John Taverner. My...

    Park 'n' Ride for the England game

    Will all the P&R sites be operational for the England game? If so will people need Travel Vouchers? I've already been asked about this by England fans potentially coming from Southampton, and I said I'd try and find out.

    Catering income question (NOT a moan about queues, pies, chips etc!)

    Obviously I don't expect you to divulge commercial information and I'm not interested in the exact figures - but do the club receive a 'cut' from every pie, pint, etc sold at the Amex? Or do we receive a flat fee from Azure regardless of volumes sold?

    Am I the only Brighton fan on here who used to be a Palace fan?

    I see there's a thread on one of our favourite topics on NSC: Were you always a Brighton fan? Every time this comes up I, as someone born in the Croydon area, always hold up my hand and say, "No, I used to be a Palace fan"; in the words of the song my old man really DID say "Be a Palace fan"...

    Queen's visit to Dublin

    Haven't seen a thread on this specifically, but what do we all think? Personally I think it's great that the two nations, European partners after all, want to build bridges and make the 21st century a better era in Anglo-Irish relations. No one's saying the past should be forgotten, but neither...

    Poyet out!

    I said all along it was a risk employing an untried manager and sadly I've been proved right. We've now gone THREE games without a win and we've had two successive home defeats! Bloom must act NOW to stop our season from going down the pan. If he sacks Poyet today (Sunday) he should be able to...

    How old were you when you first went to games on your own?

    Reading the "Did you support another team?" thread got me thinking to when I first used to go to matches. I used to go to Palace with my Dad and Grandad, or badger my Dad into taking me to Stamford Bridge. But when I moved to Lancing I started going to Brighton games with my new friends. We'd...

    Are the 'use by / sell by' dates on food a load of rubbish?

    I've been hearing that as a nation we waste tons of food and that it all goes to landfill. People have been wringing their hands and wondering how we can stop this. Well I've got an idea - take all the 'Sell By and Use By' dates off food and let people use their common sense as to whether...

    It's official! People with right-wing views are snivelling miserable cowards!

    Article in the Daily Telegraph so it must be true ... http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/8228192/Political-views-hard-wired-into-your-brain.html Basically it says that new research as shown that people with right-wing views have a larger-than-average amygdalas, it's an area in the...

    Standing ovations

    I've noticed a trend in recent years for audiences to give standing ovations regardless of the performance. At first I thought this was just a Brighton thing; In the last few years I've seen several 'ok to good' events at the Dome where at the end people have leapt to their feet and clapped...

    Women's Rugby World Cup

    Anybody else been watching this? Fantastic game last night with England beating Australia 15-0 to get a place in the final against New Zealand. Some of the other games I've watched have been a bit one-sided but despite the fact England led 12-0 for most of the match as the second half wore on...

    Mike Ward blog in the Indepenent

    http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2010/08/31/cricket-corruption-oh-believe-me-you-dont-want-to-hear-what-i-think/ Quite accurately pointing out that when we're in the new ground we will need 'converts' in order to fill.
