Forgive me, but a mate of mine who is a Watford fan emailed me this, so I thought I would share it with you. It certainly made me laugh. Holloway at it again! Crystal Palace manager Ian Holloway has described the rule that has allowed Brighton to not only have a great football team but also be a fantastic seaside resort as "ludicrous". "They've got fabulous beaches, a cracking pier, great penny arcades and even that bloke fat boy slim lives here, its too much for one club to have," Holloway told BBC Sport. "It seems pretty ludicrous to me," he said after a 3-0 defeat at the Amex. Under Football League rules, sides are allowed to be situated anywhere in the country. But Holloway believes that the sea air gives the Seagulls an unfair advantage. "I honestly didn't know until I got down here today that it was right beside the sea. They can go and get candy floss whenever they want and in the summer they can nip down for a swim. It just isn't right that one club can have all that." "I can't just get on the phone to Sir Alex and ask to borrow his place in Marbella and play all our games there can I because its against the rules. We've got to sort this out." "No arguing - what their manager is doing and how they're doing it is fantastic. If there's a loophole, they've found it and some of the fish and chips here are as good as any I've had in the world." "But I can't believe there's such a massive loophole!"
Ian Holloway will be having a shout at Crystal Palace next; for having a good position close to Gatwick airport, a supermarket next door having a large area in London to get fans from with no competition and bending the loan rules so they can borrow back a footballer they have just sold for a lot of money.
