I just met a nice guy (Cardiff fan) in a pub in St Helier who was telling me about spending the evening in the company of Stephen Archer.
Told me that Archer Jr. insisted his old man was in it to improve things, but conceded he knew nothing about football.

He told him that the family had been hounded out. Had to move out of their house when we went visiting.

I explained the other side of the story.
The £56.25. The £20m profit. The lack of a plan.

But I was interested to hear the other side of the story.

I wonder how old he is these days. Must be getting on a bit. Half expected to hear he was long gone, and that somehow we'd missed his passing. Outlasted Stanley and Bellotti though I guess.

Back in the days of Withdean when Knight was very much in charge and Tony Bloom was behind the scenes, I was coming back from work one night on the train. It was very late, winter and I had my Brighton hat on.

A young man spotted it and walked down the carriage to speak to me.

- You a Brighton fan ?
- Yeah
- Heard of the Blooms ?
- Vaguely
- Don't trust them with your club (or something like that) and walked away.

The other side of the story is often bollocks.
