Compo's Hatrg6royal " he plays on the left, he plays on the right.....that boi savage he's still oxf*rd shite ! "
just back from the game was happy with the result and thought it was a great day out.
Savage for England!
Fair play to him, he did give us a wave. I would like to apologise to anyone who laughed at my uber murkings hoping for a quiet end to the game
He nearly murked us by scoring
Still a legend.
Kitson did look good down the left. Could give Coppell an extra option somewhere down the line. The goal we conceded was very poor and the view is even worse now they've moved the away fans up the other end.
I heard Paul Brooker was on the Brighton legends team in the pre match build up. Can someone tell me how this happend?

The Cubereadingbedding There must be some pitches as tight as the Withdean in the Prem.
Withdean's pitch is illegally narrow (i.e. less than Football League minimum width, although not less than the width stated in the laws of the game), so no there won't be any like it at proper football grounds. The Football League told me that Brighton have special temporary dispensation.

You heard correct, and I watched the match from the Sportsman pub next to the ground. Spoke with a few Brighton fans bafore the game, sound as a pound they were. Spoke about Brooker and it turns out that they actually thought he was excellent for them. A specific quote from one of their fans was "if you wanted to get the ball down the attacking end of the pitch quickly then Brooker's your outlet". Whilst they conceded he had absolutely no defensive ability, they clearly appreciated his attacking ability.
Incidentally, the legends match finished 2-2 and featured the likes of John Byrne (him of Sunderland 1992 FA Cup final prowess), Steve Foster, Jimmy Case, Paul Brooker etc...

I think you'll find you're just re-quoting the FIFA Laws of the Game there - I don't think the FL have their 07/08 competition rules up yet.

Withdean's pitch is
Pitch Size: 110 x 75 yards which is 100.58 x 68.58metres

Withdean's pitch is nowhere near 75 yards wide and only a fool could possibly attend there even once and believe that it is.
For evidence, look at the hash marks 10 yards from the corner flag. They are only just outside the penalty area, making the width about 67 yards.
The Football League minimum is 70 yards.
(NB. One slight caveat - I haven't been to the dump since 2002 but I can't believe the athletic track has been rebuilt since then, and it doesn't look like it from the panorama photo. If anything the touchlines look like they've been brought in since then.)
