Harry Allt. Wow?
I was in the same class as his son, who definitely was not a 'chip off the old block'. Not that it gave any extra protection.
Today's youngsters probably already need counselling after reading here what he got up to. We saw and experienced him first hand. Nothing reported here...
But what about the future of the flag?
Ceremonial conflagration? Or everybody takes a piece of it home, like the Goldstone nets (and the rest of the ground for that matter).
The walk back to the station afterwards was like going back to the 80's. It was a muggy day anyway and there was the clattering if the police chopper and numerous ambulance and police sirens. No colours anywhere - just the "sense of menace". Only clue was if you had shorts on then you were Brighton.
They need to change the location of the cones behind the goal. They are now in-line with the edge of the penalty area, so that enables a goalie to take an age to get a ball - and then walk with it to the other side of the goal area. Just put two more in at each end, the Premier League can afford it.
Same with me - I was told 'drugs' as well. Only a tiny credit card-sized wallet - and that had to be opened. Yet uninspected in my pockets I had a bag of dried toast (don't ask), waterproof overtrousers (could conceal bags of, err, sugar) and hard objects like power pack and phone. He didn't...
Then we went to Bournemouth the next day for a top of the table match. We equalized in the last minute. Their players, including MacDougall were gutted.
Then on the next Tuesday Templeman scored a worldie to win at Barnsley.
We went up and Bmuff didn't.
A great season. That Easter we played away to Stockport on Good Friday and then at Darlington next day on the Saturday. My dad and I stayed overnight in Manchester but some intrepid fans travelled all the way back home to Brighton, has a few hours kip and then travelled up to Darlington (where...

Perhaps more important is the bus drop-off point after the game. Especially if we get a result and there are gangs of ultra's running around looking for revenge (on scooters?). That is the Pizza del Cinquecento, outside the station. This concurs with other advice posted elsewhere for Leicester...
Those last 2 rows used to be released last (i. e. about now) as "Restricted View' - and apparently they truly are! When stood, you can see the goal line at the Kop end, but not the rest of the goal.
Another consideration for booking accommodation is when will the ticket collection and the bus loading/drop off locations be announced.?
I booked tall the hotels before these locations were even mentioned, and Marseille involved taking two trams to get back to the hotel afterwards.
