Where do new Albion players stay.

[Rogero]

Often wondered ,when new players sign on, what sort of accommodation do they have? At one time the Albion had their own houses . Perhaps someone could confirm that or did I dream it. For instance supposedly the young Argentinians are in a hotel?

Do young players stay with a family?

 

[Lord Bamber]

Saw Inigo Calderon in Jurys Inn during the world cup.

 

[GlennMurray]

I think Greer said that they were all in a hotel together

Jake Robinson's place in Saltdean is let out to players/staff through the club.

there was a documentry or somthing following Pethick (?) where some players were staying in a house owned by the club, or at least that was the impression. it would certainly make sence with loanees and new players constantly coming in to have some digs.

That's got a certain ring to it.

BHAFC did own house, read Peter Wards book which confirms this

I remember that Wardy lived in Hangleton Valley Drive when I was a kid.

Yeah, Steve in the Podcast refers to a hotel with a view of the station and a car park, so sounds like it is (the Jury's Inn, that is).

I know some young players, in the olden days, used to stay with various families. A few lived up my road and when he first signed, Kurt Nogan lived there too. Used to see him driving home in his red citreon after games. Jack Dineen lived there too, but who cares?!

Nice and central.

 

[The Gus Bus]

many of them stay at the jury's inn down by the station.
camacho is staying there at the moment

 

[seagullsdaz]

Have we signed Camacho?

 

[The Gus Bus]

he's on trial with us, expected to sign this week

 

[seagullsdaz]

Oh right, Thanks for clearing that 1 up

If the club ever trades profitably again, it might be worth buying some 'players' flats in Brighton for them to use when they first move here. It must be pretty soul destroying living out of a suitcase in a hotel.

Wasn't that documentary called Football Diaries, which featured Weymouth FC when Robbie Pethick was there?

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

I live right next to the jurys inn and have never bumped into a player going back and forth from there need to stalk more.

I think that it was in Wardy's book that I remember reading that back in the 70's if we were trying to sign a player Bamber would put them up for the night in The Grand with a sea-view room and breakfast in bed. Some players have spoken about that experience being the clincher for their signature.
