Have you got basketball team in Brighton? Is it good?

Brighton Cougars. Lower league team. They thought they had been admitted to the BBL (top league) for the upcoming season, and even announced it to the press, but at the last minute the league chose Worthing Thunder instead :(

Revenge for Worthing from the whole Bears switch thing I guess. *sigh*

Will be replaced by the Worthing Thunders, although the place was going to go to the Brighton Cougars.

Edit: Just beaten to it.

Didn't the Bears start life in Brighton before moving to Worthing originally?

Worthing is a beautiful town Gyuriba similar in many ways to some of those towns you find on the French Riviera.

errr, they both have a seafront...not sure that there are many other similarities!

Didnt we have that famous American bloke playing for us for a couple of games with his contract sorted out when he was still in the Big Brother house?

Dennis Rodman. Indeed yes. I saw his debut for Brighton Bears v Guildford at Burgess Hill Triangle. I was very very drunk though and started heckling him from the back of the auditorium ("we don't need a gimmick" etc). The Bears' manager, American Nick Nurse, heard me and left his seat by the touchline, in the middle of the game, to come up to the back and chat calmly with me, putting forward his reasoning for signing Rodman up, etc. Weird. Can't imagine a football manager doing the same and going into the stands to chat to a fan hurling abuse at one of the players.

Later we gatecrashed the press conference and ended up sharing a cigar with Mr Rodman himself, but that's another story...
