I do not believe that you are so stupid that you actually believe what you yourself wrote.
You know damn well that ACL were legally obliged to react in said manner when Fisher declared publically and in the national press that they had no choice but to liquidate.
Why do you and others keep throwing up this stupid red herring? What are you trying to achieve by constantly distorting the facts in this manner?

How far away from Crawley on the train is Brighton? I'm liking my idea of beers on the beach at Brighton in the sun prior to the opening day fixture.

Wouldn't it be great if 10,000 bought tickets for Crawley and less than 500 for Bristol (you get my gist, assuming Crawley can handle those numbers
)

It's about half an hour if memory serves however Crawley's ground is nowhere near either Crawley or Three Bridges station unfortunately so you might have to fork out for a taxi.

Yep, remember doing that last season, cost about £6 or £7 for the taxi which isn't too bad when split between 3 or 4 of you.

What is bad is trying to get back to the train station in the pissing rain after a gutless 2-0 defeat.

Pleased that Peterborough away is a Saturday as well.

I'm annoyed about Carlisle as it's the second season running that we're away there when I'm not at uni. Going back for a PhD this time round so my chances of getting to a game, away or otherwise, are virtually nil once I go up.

Uni in Scotland? You couldn't wait to get as far away from Brighton as possible so it seems.

I have a friend who lives in Gillingham and is a Gillingham fan. We've been chatting about the possibility of this game for ages, lo and behold its away on a Tuesday! :facepalm:

I'm from Coventry and lived there for most of my life until I was 18 when I went to uni in Scotland. My 4th year was an industrial placement year on the south coast (I lived in Brighton for that, which is when I signed up to SBT), and went back up to Scotland to finish my course this year. One of the professors offered me a PhD in May so I'm now committed to another 4 years up there-I have debated changing my username to Tartan Sky Blue though seeing as I enjoyed Brighton so much I've just left it as it is as a little reminder of my time there.

Personally I'm just hoping we can at least get a point off Shrewsbury to avoid humiliation from the missus!

Ha ha ha, can you imagine someone telling you 10 years ago we'd have to get a result at Shrewsbury to avoid the Missus taking the piss out of you? You have to laugh or you'll cry.

It was a very bad season for that last year. Half her family support Crewe and the other half Shrewsbury-I never thought we'd actually lose all 4 league games against those two!

Don't really give a fuck too be honest but you certainly share a same illiterate posting style as a similar poster who flounced and then came back.

Maybe your sisters.

If the fixtures are out can someone cross reference our matches against Walsall and Northamptons and see what ground we are playing at?

If we're always 'home' when one is away we can safely say that's where we will be.

Lets get a game on at the Ricoh for 3pm on this day.
Imagine 5K at the Ricoh for an All Stars game and 2K at Walsall.

A number 10 bus runs about every 10 minutes to the ground -- the bus station is practically opposite Crawley train station.
On foot it is only about 20 minutes (unless you've had too many beers on the beach)

Works out about the same cost as a shared taxi then. To be honest I'd be tempted just to spend the day in Brighton instead, would be a lot more enjoyable!

My wife's brother lives in Reigate so easy weekend for me. My son's going to come down from London, and we'll have a good football weekend.

Just a general question, is there anyone on here thinking of going to the Dutch friendlies ?

I like how the official site have put the following titled news pages up in order:

City's first three fixtures!
City's last three fixtures!

'Fixture schedule doesn't matter'

Was very tempted. I've always wanted to see City play in Europe.

Are any of the Dutch fixtures near Amsterdam? imp:
