Good luck to him -a true Albion hero

Socialist Sid · Mar 14, 2014

He's standing on the Labour ticket.

That, as they say, is just the ticket!

I think it is wrong for him to stand for a political party.

Although he has done a good job for the Albion, he does stand alongside the rich and elite of the city and who knows what selective favours and influence he will add.

They need to get planning permission for that hotel somehow........

I've just re read my post 2 and realised that my whoosh may be too whooshy.

They need that built for ready for the Rugby World Cup in 2015 so he won't be able to add any more influence than he has already. Pretty sure that they will have to start building it this summer to meet the deadline.

There are going to parachute him into a 'as safe a seat as is possible'
Moulsecoomb?

I remember rashly voting for a top Albion official once, Euro Election I recall. If I knew then what we all know now......

Aside from the fact that the second sentence makes no sense whatever, why on earth shouldn't he stand for a political party? I think he'd be a very useful addition to the council.

Who was the last Albion man involved in politics?

Being a capitalist and in the Labour party is a bit of a contradiction. It was also the under the Labour Party that any financial gain from selling the Goldstone didn’t work in the clubs favour. Yes Prescot gave the thumbs up for Falmer but the local Labour council at the time had limp wrists over the Goldstone.

It was Conservative-controlled Hove Council that failed to protect the Goldstone or indeed to do much at all for the Albion. I say this as a Conservative voter.

He's an Albion fan not an Albion man.

The Labour party in the combined Brighton & Hove council were very much in favour of Falmer from 2002 onwards when we sought planning permission. As has been pointed out, it was Hove council run by Conservatives at the time of the Goldstone sale.

Fair enough I stand corrected on the second part of my comment.

Any ward with a Green councillor already in situ will be classed as a fairly safe seat for Labour or Conservatives next year.
