Well I arrived about 5.30pm and after a briefing I took my regular place in the North Stand.
After the gates had opened one of my fellow stewards pointed out that there was a couple of people who where very hostile. No problems as we are not playing well and emotions are running high.
After...
A set of keys with a Brighton and Hove Albion key fob and many other identifying features have been found in Lancing and are currently held at Shoreham Police Station (as Lancing is not open to the public).

I went to a presentation at my daughter's school last week and there was quite a large number of people there. It was the usual mix of parents with kids of various ages (some as young as 4 or 5), Mums, Dads, Grandparents etc. There was a large mix of ages, a lot of women and most of the people...
At Brighton home games Stewards have specific instructions. Once inside the ground if anyone leaves they cannot come back in.
However, after the game you can come and go as you please but you cannot leave the ground with alcohol. A lot of people try to leave the ground to have a cigarette and...
Old people can't tell the time. I often get the 700 to work and after 9.30 the buses are free for OAP's. If I get the bus that moves along the coast at about 9.15 it is always stopped by elderly people who try to get on before 9.30 arguing that it is past the witching hour.
This morning a bloke...
I opened my e-mails today to find one from the FA (I am an England Fan member). It was offering me the "fantastic opportunity" to see England at Wembley after the World Cup.
You have to be joking??!!??
Perhaps now is the time to show our displeasure at the lack of pride and not attend this...
I wasn't told about this until about an hour ago but between 26th Feb and 28th Feb RyanAir are offering 1p flights to various locations in Europe.
Travel on a Tuesday or a Wednesday up until the end of June with some dates "blacked out" due to half term etc. You can go for a week or overnight...

As there seems to be a wave of nostalgia on the board today, were you one of the people stuck on THAT train?
Nottingham Forest -v- Brighton League Cup in 1979 I think.
We had three football specials that day and having swopped some tickets around I managed to get two together (me and girlfriend)...
Even though Klaus Jan Huntelaar is the top goal-scorer in Dutch football he is not included in their World Cup squad as, according to the coach Marco Van Basten, they have enough strikers.....which is nice.
Five Ajax players in Dutch World Cup squad

Ol' Beardo used to be at most games and when he left his job was was then taken over by that gay looking Sergeant who called everyone geezer.
Who does it now? Is it that short chap with glasses and what's his name?
There was a thread last week about the best Sport fims and I suggested one called Slapshot, a 1970's Ice Hockey film starring Paul Newman.
Well just as a coincidence its one TV tonight on TCM at 9pm. (TCM is channel 327 on Sky)
Watch it and enjoy.
Not being a season ticket holder I don't have a ticket for the match on Sunday.
Where will everyone be watching the game? Need a town centre pub with some atmosphere to enjoy it.
HAND OF GOD MY AR*E.
Am I alone in hating Maradona as much as I hated Bellotti?? It seems that some people have lost the plot here. 1986 Mexico, Maradona cheating us out of a World Cup? It took eight years to get Maradona sorted when he failed a drugs test in the USA World Cup.
And how would he...
A Virtual Christmas Card to send to all those annoying people who are enjoying Christmas. HUMBUG.

When I was a kid in the North Stand we sang that old favourite Sussex By The Sea with equal enthusiasm to how it is sung today
HOWEVER, when we sang it the it went
"...for we're going up AND WE'LL win the cup for Sussex By The Sea...."
Somehow it has changed to
"...for we're going up TO win the...
