Closer inspection suggests there are two bars at Sussex, and one "nightclub".

I think the other one was unprofitable because people just chose to drink in town instead - there aren't many Brighton University halls at Falmer.

I suppose they might have a change of heart...but I doubt it.

In my day there were 5 or 6 bars here on campus, shame they've all closed - I used to be part of the furniture in the Grapevine.

From what I've read too, football supporters will not be allowed in the uni bars.

if i wanna drink i'll drink in the brighton station area, maybe buy a few TINS for the train journey and that's me sorted

pretty sure i read on the 'ask the project team' thingy that there WILL be extra trains....if i have to wait a while for one then so be it......can't see it being a major problemo

That's what I though, got Falmer, East Slope, the Arts centre, Grapevine, a few more that I can't remember the name of and the 'club'. Can't see fans being allowed anywhere them neither

Went to see the Boston Celtics NBA team a while back, excellent selection of food and beverages, went to a texmex kiosk for nacho's and chilli and an italian for a pint of peroni - all available on the main concourse. :clap:

They have real ale at Notts County, no reason why we can't.

How about this stuff from the US of A?

american sports are BRILLIANT for their selection of food and drink - when i was a bit of a regular watching toronto fc there was a SUSHI kiosk inside the stadium

the albion could do a lot worse than take a look across the pond at how to provide innovative catering

Talking to other people about it - someone said a noodle bar would be great; I don't know if a pizza parlour would be feasible.

And if they really want to keep us there for any length of time - I'd suggest kebabs.

it's all about the BUNCE over here isn't it, rather than actually providing a decent service

spending as little as possible and charging as much as possible

get 'albion kebabs' on the job:thumbsup:

actually, don't, they're shit


pizza parlour (something like the one outside churchill square?) is a decent shout......i'd imagine it's fairly cheap to make half decent stuff

plenty of grounds offer pizza - exeter even had a dominos facility in the away end. admittedly, it did sell out before half time, but if they can do something like that with their stadium then there is no reason why we cant at falmer

i also hope they have a bit of a selection for those vegetarians among us - a choice between chips or ice cream can become a bit tiresome

At one of these Food & Drink Festival effort on Jubilee Street / New Road recently, some bloke had an entire vat of vegetables in batter, plus a gas-fired hotplate.

His vegetable fritters (f***ing enormous) at £2.00 a pop were stunning. :thumbsup:

For a sweet, you could have had banana fritters.

Id love to see Noodles, like they do at music festivals, be quite happy to pay 3-4 quid for a big box of noodles which lasts forever!

Or

A massive yorkshire with sausage and mash inside, be well up for paying £5 for that.

Beer wise i would always be drinking in town and getting the train at the last minute, i would only imagine being early to the ground at the first game at falmer the rest of the time, i wouldnt be fussed, aslong as they pump it out in those machines which poors 6 at a time so i dont have to wait long to get a beer.

I had a cheese & bacon one the other day from there, it was SUMPTUOUS

People still really haven't grasped the fact that 22,000 people aren't going to be able to hop on a train at the last minute, have they?

Agreed.

If they want us to stay behind, drink their beer, eat their food, watch their tellies in order to ease congestion at Falmer Station, having something worth drinking other than what you've mentioned is one of the things that might well be an important consideration for some, if not for many.

I don't want to drink John Smith or Carlsberg, and neither of them will keep me at the stadium after a game. I want the choice. Am I alone in that - who knows? I don't think I am. If others want to drink it - great.

We've got a blank sheet of paper, and a glorious opportunity for a football club to finally offer some decent ales. The fact that other clubs don't offer anything other than what you've listed is another issue.


Spot on. imagine celebrating a 3-0 win over The Palace with a couple of pints of John Smiths at the stadium. As long as its not that shit Harveys..........
