When Steve McQueen met The Blob, he tried to kill it. It probably never crossed his mind to try and take it out to a restaurant.

It was built for Hove.F.C. in 1901,a club that was in existence since 1884. The Albion took it over in 1904 when Hove moved to Hove Park.
Who provided the first pic of Amex Progress? Who told you of the Amex staff sackings? Who told you that Sammy Lee wasn't coming?
I didn't say it was. The point was that it was an out of town stadium.Originally posted by dougdeep
