Anyone else witness the famous WSU Peregrine Falcon demolish a pigeon during the first half? The feathers rained down in front of me in Block G. Lovely stuff.

Morning. Typically my phone has stopped working the day before our first home game of the season. It has my season ticket on it, of course. Any idea how I get in without it?

Heard the very sad news yesterday of the death of the legend, and mainstay of The Jazz Butcher, Pat Fish. I’m not sure how well known the fella was to anyone on here, but he was one of those acts that I’ve loved since my mid teens. I last saw him in Preston about 5 years back, supporting fellow...

As I got back in the car yesterday evening and switched the radio on, someone had texted in to Radio Sussex to say that some players had been seen coming out of a casino in the early hours during the week. I’ve not seen mention of it anywhere on here, so is it bollox or is there truth in the...

If anyone is at a loose (lose) end tonight and you like a bit of live music, you could do worse than pop along to the Green Door Store, near Brighton Station. Now I have been associated with The Forum in Tunbridge Wells and it's predecessor, The Rumble Club, for the best part of 30 years, so I...

Listening to Jeremy Vine show at the moment, they are talking about the Bradford fire and one of the guests has implied that the fire was started deliberately by the Chairman. He claims 8 other businesses owned by the Chairman had been 'victims' of arson and he'd received huge pay-outs on them...

Went to this match last night with a Charlton supporting mate - the least I could do after we embarrassed them last Saturday. Have to say I thought they looked pretty pony again and Obika, who played on the left, could have played til next week and still not look like scoring. He did show a few...

Is it just me, sat as I am in the middle of WSU, or are the other stands at the Amex always less densely populated than the WSU? Obviously I cannot see the WSL, but looking across to the Lower East, the empty seats are noticeable, the Upper East, looks reasonably full, while the North appears...

Now, I have looked through many threads since last Saturday, most of them predicting doom and gloom and basically being very unrealistic in what they want, but I seem not to have found any posts stating how well Derby played last week. For a few years now, they've been mid-table, pretty solid...

What a great photo. Mullers (with Mr Bamber behind), on his way to answer to the FA, after the eventful night when Albion lost to Palace at Stamford Bridge in 76/77 season.

Having a bit of a clear-out at home and have stumbled across 51 editions of the original Gull's Eye fanzine. The first issue I've got is number 30 and the last is number 100 (so for those not great with the maff, there's a few missing). PM me if you're interested. Any cash raised will go...

Last summer one of my mates - an Albion season ticket holder - was driving through the Longfield Road Industrial Estate in Tunbridge Wells. Up ahead he saw a skinhead with a Palace shirt on walking the way he was driving. As he drew level he opened his window and shouted an obscenity at said...

Imagine my surprise when opening our local paper on Friday morning to see an advert informing people on the Kent/Sussex border that Crystal Palace season tickets are now available. Looks like the Palace have become as tinpot as Charlton now. Oh dear.

So, I read the following on some godawful Pompey site, written by, as it turns out some little scrote that I know, and then decided to reply to him in person: "Despite what the Brighton fans would love you to believe, the atmosphere in the ground is awful. The acoustics are awful and it's...

BBC Radio Kent Gills365 Hope the link has worked.... I know the fella concerned and I'm amazed that anyone can get this excited about Gillingham FC - especially as the commentator actually supports our new friends from Suffolk, The Tractor Boys.

Still trying not to laugh too much, re: the thread where the fella was going write a stiff letter to Leeds FC top brass, because a steward mentioned his pink shirt and was thus a homophobe. Nope, I don't get that, either. It's at 1.05.... http://youtu.be/O8d8F6kez1c I trust the link has worked.

Just started watching it. The ref is called Mr Ponce. Now I know FIFA are corrupt but should he be working with kids?

Checked out a few boxes full of Albion related programmes, fanzines, cuttings and letters today - as I was clearing out a room. I came across a letter that Jimmy Case sent me when he was still our manager - I'd written to him saying that in view of what the b*stards in charge were doing to our...

Have laid my hands on a wonderful little treat this weekend. A signed Albion football from the 2000-2001 championship winning season. It took a little time to work out the exact year as the only autographs I could clearly make out were Danny Cullip, Charlie, Paul Brooker and Will Packham - yeah...

Went to watch the Twenty 20 tonight as it's only a 10min stroll up the road for me. Came home happy, had a bite to eat and then promptly fell asleep for roughly 20mins. I was awoken by Sussex fans below my abode in The Pantiles, by The Duke of York pub singing: "We hate Palace" etc, thought I...
