Small county in Kent
You’re just a small county in Kent
Please, no. It's a bad as singing to Birmingham City fans 'You're just a small town in Villa'

Although it probably isn't a cringe as that was.

My favourite similar 'bants' was when Whitehawk fans sang to those of Phoenix Sports 'You're just a chip shop in Dartford'

Yes. But surely the content of satire should be based in some kind of contextual accuracy. If I had been a Birmingham City fan I would merely have been scratching my head trying to work it out.

'You're just a small town near Aston' is passable, perhaps.

Considering the state of both east and West Sussex councils perhaps East Sussex should be absorbed by Kent and West Sussex absorbed by Hampshire.
I think Meridian TV developed the prototype model for this in the 1990s.

With Trump's announcement that he wants to take ownership of both Greenland and the Panama Canal, I reckon there is a case for Sussex to take control of the Isle of Wight and to put it under the jurisdiction of Sussex.

We need to save the residents of IOW from falling under the control of Hampshire.
A landing party departing from Selsey Bill to land at Bembridge seems the most obvious route for the start of this pilgrimage.
The tides look favourable on 6th June, and we won't have a game that week.

This has legs.

Let's take back Tunbridge Wells too.

What else could we annex? Dieppe?

I like this idea. Will seriously cut costs I'd have thought. But it has to be requested by the councils I believe. And that's like asking the turkeys to vote for Christmas.
My exact thought. Would love Sussex to be one again. It would surely save money but why would councils decide to do it themselves when it would mean some of them losing their jobs. Odd process.

Can we do a swap deal and lose Crawley for ROYAL Tunbridge Wells
Crawley is practically Surrey, so they can take them.

Either that or they can merge with Croydon as they are already indistinguishable.

You're getting a bit carried away here with this bold plan.
I like it.
Annexation looks like the way forward. In fact it's so obvious I can't believe no-ones thought of it before.
