We Were Good Last Night

[joggerjayne]

Well, I thought we were pretty good last night.

We made Liverpool work for it.

At the last minute, I went out and watched it in the pub, which was jolly.

[Hopkirk]

Is your ground really that good?

The radio pundits keep raving about it.

[albaqwerty]

What was the score JJ?

If you went to the pub, you might not have been good !:)

[redman41]

By all accounts Brighton to their credit played quite well last night JJ !
You have a decent Squad of Players and Gus Poyet is a good Manager and has them playing good Football.
You have a nice Stadium as well and with a bit of luck you have every chance of Promotion to the Premier League next Season.
Al the best JJ!

[Hopkirk]

Oh no, you don't want to get promoted to the Prem!

Stay in the Championship and enjoy it.

[joggerjayne]

Liverpool won 2-1, alba.

Oh, Hopkirk ... the ground is stunning.

High tech base under the pitch to reduce wear on the players' legs.

Lighting system which lights up the inside of the visitors' end in the club colours of the visiting team.

Massive picture zones, which display photos of famous players from whichever team is visiting.

No "bad" seats.

It's lovely.

So far, I've only been there to look around, but I'm going to the Leeds match tomorrow. We're all going to wear green to show support for Plymouth Argyle. It's going to be on the telly.

[joggerjayne]

Thanks, redman.

But Hopkirk is right.

I enjoyed League One more than I'm enjoying the Championship. Also (and I know this is really selfish), I did like Withdean, with it's jolly little pub, and it's rickety stands.

[albaqwerty]

2-1 good score.

Some guys(various presenters) on the radio rave about the ground too.

[Hopkirk]

So your main like about the old ground was the pub?

[joggerjayne]

LOL, Hopkirk

No, but look, I'm not a huge football fan, but a pal and I used to go to The Sportsman, have a couple of bottles of wine and some lunch, have a chat with the visiting fans, go and watch the game, and then get the bus (free with a match ticket) back into town, and find a bar. It was a nice little routine, and the crowds were so small that we could shout above the noise. Now, it's all become a bit serious.

i actually enjoy footie more outside of the premier

will have to take a look at this stadium next time im down that way

enjoy the season....

If you come in from the A23, when you get to the Rabbit Roundabout, go left towards Lewes, over the funny little bridge, and then right. Keep driving, and the stadium suddenly appears up on the right, facing down on to the road. It's quite impressive. If you take the sliproad off to the left, and cross the road, you can go for a look around. It's worth it.

Felt the same about plough lane when Wimbledon used to play there .... lost interest when they went to Milton Keynes...
