It'll certainly be interesting to see if he can get a good crowd there. Personally I think it'll be pretty tough, hope he can though.

True, although I've heard it has improved for getting on at London Road this year. Trouble is no one really wants a 10/15 minute walk after a few pints. He'll have to be ready to lose a few pint glasses/plastics cos I imagine people will wanna walk with them! That is one of the positives...

Very true! The problem is the walk up to Brighton station is just as steep!! If he built up a good base of regulars for matches he might be better off setting up a mini-bus or coach run from the pub. There's a couple of pubs in Patcham that do it, Ladies Mile and the Wilmington - think the...
