There are some really odd people around!

Thanks James, fantastic piece, as always. You and Amy are the reason I’m a subscriber to The Athletic- ignore the idiots and carry on doing a great job 👏👍

Former Brighton player…🙄

Emotionless? Wow. I’d like to see someone with emotion!

Best of luck with your channel, Michael!

And Norway’s!

The long shell is from a razor clam, Michael. You’re welcome!

Thanks so much for sharing, what a lovely story!

FFS have they got nothing better to do? That type never sing, they don’t add anything to the atmosphere, what sort of club do they want???

Totally agree, I really hope the club realise this and can offer AA more support.

There was a noticeable drop off in atmosphere following the cut in allocation- direct cause/effect. Sitting in the North bank, you just can’t hear the AA anymore, which is a real shame.

I didn’t know that was the case? I’d heard that there was another reason for cutting the allocation, but it’s probably just conjecture.

DO IT! Make a plan to make it happen.👍

He’s absolutely right. I was there that day and the crowd were frustrated at his slow pace leaving the pitch, when we were chasing a win. The media blew it up into something far bigger.

Isn’t everyone missing a very important point here? Is he implying that he considers the Nazis to have been “left wing”, ie he supports the discredited theory that because the Nazis had “Socialist” in their party name, that they must therefore have been left wing?

2 cans of Special Brew and a straw (was said you get you pissed quicker)!

Yep, worldwide outage for some reason

Sounds awful. There’s a significant difference however between assessing global business risks and placing your personal, emotional trust in someone. While you were busy doing the former, it wasn’t unreasonable for you to expect emotional commitment from your partner. No need to feel bad, IMHO
