Withdean.

The first few weeks I started using a message board I got severely shouted at by Bozza for saying 'the Withdean'

:lolol: :lolol:

Looking at your avatar and thinking Micky Adams started it I'm wondering if it's a Northern thing to add a "The " to things :)

And now Yorkie's admitting to doing it and she's a bit of a Northener :lol:

i remember ian brodie used to get p*ssed off with people adding "the" to lightning seeds. i know it's just called Withdean, but "the Withdean" just seems to slip out easier.

i couldn't care less to be honest, about either.

Okay, which monkeys voted for "The" Withdean. Go to your rooms without having your tea!!

I don't see the big deal really. You don't say, "I'm going to Pub" do you? You say, "I'm going to the Pub".

I only did it once :eek: Never again :lolol:

The difference is because it is an area as opposed to a stadium.

That's why I quoted Hillsborough and Highbury.

You would say you were going to 'the Mad Stad' or to 'the Walkers stadium'

Withdean is an area. We don't play in Withdean though. There's houses and tress and stuff. We play in the Withdean Stadium which is in Withdean.
