He might also tell you that it's a perk that survives because of the strength of the trade union that negotiated the deal on his behalf.

Oi! Bozza! Wake up! We haven't finished. :)

Mrs Hut gets this privilege as well? It gets worse.

FIRST class? Bloody hell. I hope you demand a rebate when you are FORCED to travel to matches in one of those 3-carriage trains that go to Seaford. The ones with no first class seats. I'm at last realising that this is a HUMAN RIGHTS issue.

... except former employees of British Rail.

No you won't. I agree with Bozza.

I'd rather see a levy on every ticket than the introduction of a complicated system of administering rebates that could throw up loads of minor disputes and trivial, unresolved grievances. It might be possible to find a way of rewarding cyclists and people who live within walking distance of...

Why? Because without the support of the Green Party administration, we won't get permission to have the use of the land that will provide extra car parking or park and ride facilities that you and I both believe are necessary. You might feel "held to ransom". I feel that thirty quid is a...

The point of the dispute isn't whether a few fans might feel disgruntled about being expected to pay for something they are not using. The point is whether the Club will get permission to expand the stadium. If everyone felt like Beach Hut, we'd never get 30,500 seats and we wouldn't be able...

I'm in the same position as Beach Hut, insofar as a Travel Voucher is of no value to me - since I travel by train from east of Lewes and it is cheaper to pay the fare to Falmer than it would be to pay the fare to Lewes AND use a Travel Voucher between Lewes and Falmer. But I differ from him in...

I think Accrington Stanley hold that accolade. What would Mr Inkpin-Leissner and his chums give for an average gate of less than 1,600 at the Amex?

I understand this point of view - and have some sympathy with it - but it may be that the Club feels it has no choice but to move towards early expansion. Is this the price of keeping Gus at the Club?

It's CHEAPER to pay all the way from Polegate to Falmer than it is to pay to Lewes and then use a Travel Voucher for the Lewes-Falmer bit. As you say ... there's something unfair in all this.

Cue hundreds of people posting stuff along the lines of ... "It's perfectly LEGAL to stop on a double yellow line to pick up or set down passengers. Who the hell does granny weatherwax / Martin Perry / that bloke from the council think he is, telling me any different?"

I disagree. If you benefit in any way from the roads not being cluttered up with traffic going to the event that you are attending, it's worth paying something.

We mustn't lose sight of the reason we are debating all this. The Club wants to install an extra 8,000 seats. EVERY Albion supporter will benefit from this. We therefore need to ensure that we get those extra seats. The signs are that the Club will have to admit that 8,000 extra spectators...

I trust you stayed well clear of the Bar Zamora. :)

Jeane Lepper (who is an opposition City Councillor for the area) is supporting the Club on this issue.

This.

Throughout the Public Inquiry into the stadium, the Club made it clear that they were intending to use the Racecourse as a stadium P&R site. It was, however, only this year that they got round to putting in a planning application to allow this to happen.
