As was the Goldstone in the final few years, people tend to forget that. The East Terrace was a no go area.

Never have and never will.
It is not that I have any bad feelings towards the companies who occupy the site, it's just that in my mind (imagination) it is still the Goldstone Ground and I don't want to tarnish all the great memories have have.

Can't disclose too much as its part of my job, but I am aware that a business proposal for Focus was turned by a leading institution once they got wind of who owned it.....

Yes, it was nearly as bad as Selhurst is now but it was ours. We needed to move to progress but the proceeds of the sale should not have lined the pockets of Archer and Stanley. The current owners of the site played their part when the re-sale went through 12 months or so later. For every season I spent at Withdean I still bear a grudge-even though we'd be a League 1 side if we'd stayed. Should have been our choice-not Archer's or Stanley's.

I have only just been able to drive past a year or so ago.
Definitely will never use anyone associated with it.
Ironically my own beloved Albion is now getting the boycott until the head of customer retentions and long emails does one.
So all you boycotters really are quite similar to me.

I look nothing like him!
You've been brought up in a house with a family of thousands. The house was built in the early 1900's and you and your family have seen many happy times. The landlord then evicts you and you've got nowhere to live. You spent years fighting the eviction order, but to no avail. You and your family are homeless. The landlord sells the land your house is on and it gets demolished. A load of shops are built where your house once stood. Would you ever visit these new shops?

I've shopped there for years.
I explain to my son this is where I used to watch Brighton play when I was younger.
I can't believe people haven't walked along Newtown Road and turned down the slope into Goldstone Lane? Still gives me a buzz. Happy memories from childhood seeing how full the North Stand was.

strong and stable with me, or...
Did this coincide with shirt-gate and you drove past in a rage to show them!?

Always said I’d never go til we got a proper home to play at. And still held off until about 3 years ago.
It’s an odd feeling but I’m content to let it go.

just once, to Toys R Us (8 years ago) with a three year old who had a voucher, I felt sick going there, but at least I didn't buy anything

Not living close by helps, but I've never gone there and never will.
Even went to Currys to buy something and got them to match the Comet price because there was no way I was going on to the site.
Also boycott Wickes as much as I can but cant remember why. Did they buy the Focus / Do-It-All chain

Never have, never will. When my kids were younger, used to shop at the Toy R Us in Pompey rather than travel the 2 miles down the Old Shoreham Road.
With the internet now, there is even less need to go there. Been past, but won't go in.

It's over 'we've' won.
It was time to move on 7 years ago and all points since.

Wow!
Never have. Never will. Living in Woking, that doesn’t entail much sacrifice on my part.
I guess I’ve moved on. We’ve got pretty much everything we could reasonably wish for now and, crucially, Archer has nothing to do with us. We did our bit yesterday to make today happen. There’s no reason to expect new fans that weren’t around at the time to care.
