Brighton 2 Preston 2

When I got my pre-match call from John Pargiter for a betting tip, I had to tell him I did not feel confident about this fixture. Preston had had 4 consecutive goalless draws with us, beaten Aston Villa and we are going to be without our most influential player Berem Kayal till December after an [...]

Watching the Ryder Cup in the Sussex CCC Museum

Last night it was my pleasure to invite John Pargiter to a dinner held in the museum at Hove cricket ground . Paul Way who played in two Ryder Cups aged 20 in the  eighties was  guest of honour.  The festivities began with a chipping competition for the contestant to land his ball on a flag on [...]

A grim night at the Amex: Brighton 1 Reading 2 (ELC)

You often read in the manager’s column of a programme that your (fans) support matters although clubs with their high ticket prices and endless sales promotion of merchandise do not do that much to foster it. Last night’s League Cup match v Reading before a crowd of 6000 – in [...]

A Brighton sporting day

If you ask someone to say what is Brighton famous for the answer you would probably get would be the Pier, Seafront, Lanes, Royal Pavilion and the gay capital of Europe. Sport would probably not feature yet with the Amex football stadium, Hove Cricket Ground, Brighton Racecourse and the greyhound [...]

A NETWORKING EVENT

Call me old fashioned if you will but I do believe parties were much better 30 years ago. I received an invitation to a networking event held yesterday at the i360 for those who renewed membership to Brighton and Hove Albion’s 1901 club. The 1901 club has various levels of membership. I am in [...]

Lunch at Sussex

Yesterday I returned for the second day of Sussex v Kent and lunch at which Martin Corry spoke for the Wooden Spoon charity. Any notion of a dodgy wicket was dispelled by Kent amassing 496 in which virtually all the lower order contributed. Sussex closed at 42-2 trailing Kent by 274 runs. The game [...]

Sussex v Kent

Yesterday I went to Sussex v Kent at Hove with an old friend of mine, a barrister who is deeply knowledgeable on cricket. It is a game that Sussex must win if we are to catch Essex for the only promotion berth but the slim chances were made even more unlikely by the absence of Luke Wright, Ed Joyce [...]

Sussex close to victory

Sussex CCC have only won one match all season drawing the other eight. League leaders Essex have lost two but won three. Still with six games left after this match against Gloucestershire and with Sussex having a game in hand a late winning run would mean promotion. Sussex had Gloucestershire [...]

Brighton 3 Nottingham Forest 0

The Seagulls maintained their solid start to the season after holding Derby to a goalless draw at the Ipro and following this with a 3-0 thumping of their East Midland rivals last night. John Pargiter called and I advised him the betting moves are Anthony Knockaert first goal and any time scorer [...]

The packaging of football

Yesterday at 9.00am there was a knock on the door from the postman. I was expecting a package from Amazon and left a note on my door that should I be out it could be left outside the door. There was a package there but not the one I ordered. Instead it was a package the size of a box of chocolates [...]
