Back to League football tomorrow night when we welcome the Seagulls to Kenilworth Road. They won the first game of our Premier League journey but the 4-1 result was slightly harsh as at 80 odd minutes Morris made the score 2-1. We've improved Shearer said we were naive and Crooks said we'd be down by Christmas but we're still in with the pack. COYH!! Brighton Trivia. In 1974/75 Brighton were called the Dolphins but changed their name to the Seagulls the season after. At least a dolphin couldn't crap on you and nick your chips and ice-cream!   |

Excellent trivia, I didn’t know that.
I only found out today that Man City’s nickname is The Citizens, or was in the 1960s anyway.

A hattrick . . .
During WWII, Hitler ordered the Nazi’s not to bomb the Royal Pavilion because he loved the architecture. He wanted to use it as a summer house after the war was over.
Once part of the original settlement of Brighthelmstone, the lanes were built up during the late 1700s, and were completed in 1792.
Brighton’s beaches are stone beaches and they stretch for miles. It’s been estimated that there are over 614,000,000 pebbles.

My home town of Hastings has a beach of stones. Hitler also wanted Norwich City Hall to be saved and to be used as an east of England head quarters after the war.

My brother, now sadly departed, lived in Lansing and had a printing business in Windsor Street, Brighton, the Windsor Press. He had a contract with the 'Argus' to print all their posters which were displayed all around the surrounding area. I visited occasionally and was able to help him out with some very heavily discounted equipment when I worked for Gestetner including one of the first Apple Desktop Publishing Systems. |

I’m not sure ‘Nice Mr Wolf’ has made it into a MDF before now but there’s a first time for everything. Let’s hope it’s Brighton that are Blitzkrieged - COYH!

"That was the 'night' that was" and for those who experienced it live, what an atmosphere. From minutes before kick off when Tom Lockyer walked around the pitch until the final whistle.
Obviously Adebayo was Man of the Match, we don't get to see hat-tricks that often but there were a few on a normal day would have been considered. Where to start?
Fabinski was a spectator but made one outstanding save.
Bell and Osho never put a foot wrong.
Barkley for England.
I'm warming towards Lakonga.
Ogbene and Doughty alone justified the price of admission.
Clark's workrate was exceptional.
Morris did what Morris does and battled all night.
and Burke, absolutely outstanding and up there with Adebayo's performance.
