Hypothetically...

If one wanted to discreetely gain access to the pitch at Withdean over the summer, how would be the best way to do it.

Which way in is the easiest? And in the event of the police being summoned, what offence could the intruder be charged with?

I call on the wannabe deviants / knowledgeable types of NSC for help on this one.

Well the gates by the entrance to the South Stand are usually unlocked. Being a council-owned athletics track and everything. What did you have in mind?

Best not to ask too many questions...!!!
When I checked the South Stand gates, they were locked. I did notice that the lights were on in all the toilets. Surely the council doesn't have money to waste on lighting loos that no-one is using?

Cue Withdean getting broken into and the police using this thread as reason for arrest.......I've already e-mailed them by the way

There's junior athletes using it most days, least there are whenever I go up the gym there. Jog on!

It's not really "breaking in" as such. And I'm pretty sure there's nothing worth stealing from there. I also think I would make the worst burglar on the planet.

And there are a few police officers that use this! Though I think the only offence that you'll end up with is Trespass which is a civil matter and the police wont get involved. Unless you cause damage or steal anything obviously.

What would be the point? - to be honest Withdeans not the most salubrious place to have sex on the pitch! Not like say Wembley!!

And if you must have sex on the pitch, makes sure it's in the goal by the away end. Nobody ever scores there...

if withdean ever got broken in to the next coming weeks, you'd be the first to be questioned!

Made me laugh!

 

[Clothes Peg]

I think I might have to take a ladder with me. And I promise not to steal / break anything. Unfortunately, I don't think I could successfully disguise myself as a junior athlete and sneak in that way. I noticed that the away end has less CCTV, so that might be a possibility.
I may report back when my secret mission has been accomplished.

Is this really you Gina?

Yep. Definitely me. No imposter today.

Are you for real? I sincerely hope you've been drinking today or have a bad case of sun stroke or something which is altering your thinking...

PS - If you haven't already realized it - ITS A BAD IDEA! Especially the bit where you've posted it on here....

 

[RexCathedra]

If you were. arguendo to have sex on the pitch, you'd probably still be there, and at it hammer and tongs, as dawn broke, due to the classic Brighton curse -- decent first touch, lousy finishing.

it's been a long,long time..
