Halaand’s long contract is to make replacing Pep later in the year easier!

Brighton v Chelsea FA cup game moved to 8pm on a Saturday.
Potential for extra time and penalties, so could be hitting an 11pm finish at a Stadium that is very reliant on trains to get folk away!

I've driven past the Amex a few times but I guess that it's harder to go by train from there (Falmer) than the Goldstone Ground (Hove).

I once made the the mistake of using the park and ride service. It was about 90 mins after full time that we finally made it on to the bus.

Sounds weird, but I think relegation could be best for the long term future of #itfc

Getting back-to-back promotions, although fabulous, didn't allow time to get established a set of players that could stand a chance in the Premier.

The Amex is a great ground but the siting is a bit off. The couple of times I've been I was able to walk back from there to The Lad's accommodation in Brighton.

Up to an hour isn't out of the ordinary if I use P&R, but I guess you were probably held back until half hour or so after the whistle?

There wasn't the potential of such a late Saturday finish at The Goldstone, but yes Hove is served my more, and longer, trains.

Staying in the PL makes it a lot easier to establish yourself in the PL than hoping to get promoted again though.

And the rest. And it was pissing down. And we’d lost, and we were travelling back on a bus full of Brighton supporters with our shirts well covered and our mouths shut 😂

Ah, the beautiful game, remember that? Let's put down some jumpers and have a socially-distanced kickabout. Long shots only, and no hugging and kissing.
