Wondered how long it would take. "Only joined in March" the suggestion being I am some king of lesser being due to that. Well "Drew" i don't need an education, having served my country all over the world with the Army I think i've experienced enough of life to feel educated enough.This forum could be even better if (possibly) JCL's weren't derided as soon as they posted. But also some people who only joined the site recently are possibly just old gits who watched us in the 70's & 80's & aren't PC savvy?

The point he made is that having only joined in March you have missed many quality debates on here. Not that because you joined in March your opinions are not valid (there are some that seem to think in this way, but they are best ignored).

No offence meant. I was merely trying to suggest we stick to footballing matters on a football forum. But as it has been mentioned perhaps there is a reason central Brighton votes Green which totally contradicts the way the rest of Sussex votes? I do have a problem with the gay tag that other fans throw at us. Same as non jewish Tottenham fans may be offended by them name thrown at them I guess.

If you venture out of Brighton-say Burgess Hill,Littlehampton,even Eastbourne then according to some that live there 1 in every 3 people that live in Brighton is Gay-quite clearly this is not the case i would has as a guess that the figure could be 3,000 to 10,000 hardly 1 in 3 but the tag has been around for a long time and will continue-so how do you propose to stop it?

Btw did you not see a political debate coming as a result of your post?

School boy error.

So 1 in 3 is in total contrast to 3,000 in 10,0000? Forgive my lack of education but isn't that almost the same? I know our team is called "Brighton" but surely if we want to be a big club we need to appeal to the whole of Sussex? I would humbly suggest a place like Hailsham where I live has more in common with a working class place like Dover than Brighton but that doesn't make me love our team any less.

You still haven't answered the question why you think there is a connection between being gay and being left wing? Please explain.

It says 3,000 to 10,000 not 3,000 in 10,000.

Does what happens on this board really effect the way people feel about Brighton, in my experience what happens on this board only effects the way people feel about this board.

the Guardian sends subliminal 'Gay' messages into your brain just by being in the same room as it.

He means 3,000 - 10,000 in total, not 3,000 out of every 10,000.

Stop being so gay! Oh I mean left wing. Shit it's true!

no-that would be 1 in 33 almost-Brighton's(only not Hove, Shoreham etc) population is about 160,000-

Brighton has the tag-not the team-i appreciate that,but others don't-stick around just read if you must and when the season starts the subject will inevitably be more weighted to football matters.

Don't give up on NSC i read for years on and off...my only regret was why having registered in 2004/5 i did not use the account.

Sorry, having read back the post about the numerical ratio i realise I got it wrong. But it shouldn't matter if your tory / labour, gay / straight, male / female, or even ginger (well maybe not that last one!) Isn't it all about he support of a football team? I was just trying to suggest we stick to what we all have in common rather than arguing about our differences.

i am in some way sympathetic as to the way this thread has been received although some criticism can be dismissed such as that from Twinkle Toes, who can always be counted on to wade in at the merest sniff of somebody not complying with the 'unquestioning homosexual acceptance' PC stance that Britain seems to have acquired. (Gay brother, perhaps?)
Other criticism concerns me more, particularly from Acker79 whose very first post I remember expressed similar reticent fears. I would advise you to keep posting and ignore the post counts; they are simply a reflection of quantity, not quality.

hey you got it wrong-we all do-

check out my "SATE(should have been state) OF THE PITCH" fiasco of a post if it's still on page 1 for reference.

NSC is rough at times bit like the Northstand back in the day-but it's also a good forum-

As this is in inverted commas i assume it means something. Care to elaborate?

I can see where you're coming from even if your message isn't getting through to some, whether your message is muddled or they're being deliberately obtuse.

Thing is, the internets are like the NSC more or less, or the NSC is the internets in microcosm. Everyone is anonymous and can say shit they wouldn't say in The Real World. It's hard to set an agenda on what is basically an anarchic flow of information - I too would like to see more football on here than politics, but with such a broad church of opinion displayed here most 'debate' is in danger of degenerating into a political snowball fight.

I suggest a personal NSC Shit Filter. Sift the various threads, separate the football wheat from the political chaffe and you're good to go

It's just to show that it is a 'tag' I thought of to explain what I meant by said stance.
If you are also going to question my use of inverted commas in this reply, then we could be here all night.
