A few of you have been to sports panel discussions at Exeter Street Hall in the beating heart of Prestonville (near BHASVIC and the Chimney House pub), and we need to top up the funds post-COVID, so we're asking people to put their hands in their pockets once more.
To celebrate the staging of three matches in the women's Euros at the Amex (sorry, Brighton Community Stadium), this one is on the women's game.
From the Albion, we've got Polly Bancroft, the general manager for all the women's teams. From Lewes, CEO Maggie Murphy, who looks after both men's and women's teams. From Brighton Museum, Jody East, who is curator of their summer 2022 exhibition on the history of women's football. And from the media, former Times sports editor David Chappell, who once employed a woman rugby editor but also your very own Not Andy Naylor.
These are pretty robust characters, so they'll be prepared to field your questions even if they're somewhat critical. If you want to know why TB is putting money into the women's team instead of another left back, ask Polly. David will have an opinion on why some papers give coverage to women's Super League games that attract smaller crowds than most League One games. Maggie can tell you why Lewes believe in equal pay for both sets of players.
The first half format will be a bit Question Timey, with questions that have been submitted in advance and the second half will be open questions from the floor. There's a bar and a raffle too.
