    [Albion] P8 W6 D1 L2

    They'll be a lot of disappointment that our incredible European adeventure has come to an end but what a debut we've made in Europe. When the group draw was made I dont think anyone would have predicted we'd win 5, draw 1 and only lose 2 A very proud Albion fan here reflecting on a european...

    [Albion] Serie A and Roma

    Since the Europa league draw I've been keeping a close eye on Roma and reading about their improvement and change in style post Jose. Their form has been pretty incredible and they currently sit 3rd in the form table over the last 6 games, Thursday looks to be quite a daunting challenge given...

    [Football] British South Asians and football

    I've just watched a friends video online of his Sunday league team taking on a team of predominately British Asians from West London. Nothing particularly remarkable in this but it got me thinking, why are British South Asians so poorly represented in the professional game? A quick Google...

    [Misc] Older Dads

    Found out quite recently that I am expecting my second child, all going well he/she will arrive a few months after my 41st birthday. Genuinely didn't think i'd have the chance again at 40 and am over the moon but naturally a bit worried about being the older Dad in the playground. My Dad was 45...

    [Albion] Adopting another song/anthem

    For obvious reasons GOSBTS will always be our song when the team comes out but watching Forest last night and how they belt out mull of kintyre and clubs like Hibs with sunshine on leigh it got me thinking whether there was another song we could adopt perhaps at final whistle or as well as GOSBT...

    [Football] Teams you like to see do well

    After reading the thread about Wednesday and Reading's struggle it got me thinking about teams I am rooting for at the moment across the lower leagues. Ipswich town. Good support, a rich history but haven't graced the top flight for over 20 years. I remember their first season back in the early...

    [Football] Postecoglou and Spurs

    I've always felt a bit indifferent about Spurs but find myself getting a bit of a soft spot for them under Ange Postecoglou. I know its early in the season but he's done an incredible job reinvigorating Spurs particularly after losing Kane in the summer. A likeable chap who plays a very...

    [Albion] Roof for the train ramp

    Not a moan but has there any been any discussion around erecting some sort of shelter over the train station ramp? There were clearly train issues last night and with the rain and post match disappointment there was lots of frustrated and wet fans, can't help but think fans would be much more...

    [Albion] Girls/womens Pink training kit

    My daughter wants a Brighton football shirt for when she does parkrun. Is there any reason why I can't find the pink training top anywhere? It's all over social media and the website being worn by the ladies team. I know most now disagree with the pink for girls preference but my daughter...

    [Albion] Dorset to Fulham home match

    Sorry to put this on the main board but I was wondering if anyone is travelling to the Fulham home game from Dorset on Saturday and has space in their car? Trains are a bit of nightmare and I didn't check beofre i bought my ticket, I'd be happy to pay the train fare as a contribution to petrol...

    [Albion] RDZ's Post match interviews.

    I really like his post match interviews. Less cliché and repetitive than his predecessors and he has a nice balance of praise and critique. What really strikes me though is how much his English has come on in such a short space of time. He relies on his translater less and less and comes across...

    [Football] Scottish football

    Football across the border is often ridiculed by the English and dismissed as being of a poor standard league one level at best I often read but based on population do you think there's an argument that Scotland has the best level of football in terms of attendances, stadia and quality of...

    Pub for tomorrow

    A quick heads up for fans travelling tomorrow. I manage a pub with a microbrewery and large selection of guest beers in Southbourne which is about 10 minutes from Pokesdown station and 25 minute walk from the ground. There is very limited parking available but a public carpark that becomes free...

    The Albion's record in BIG games

    We have had some momentous games in our history with varied outcomes but do our historically records in 'must win' games fill you with confidence or dread? We're in such a great position to be one win away from the premier league but our performances in recent play off encounters leaves me a...

    Mentally preparing for the playoffs

    Whilst promotion is still in our hands it has to be said that we are probably the unlikeliest of the top 3 to get promoted automatically given our remaining fixtures especially if Burnley win this evening. Making the play offs will be a fantastic achievement but i worry our fans will see this...

    [Football] London football clubs. Biggest and smallest

    I had a bit of a discussion recently about the percieved size of London clubs at both ends of the spectrum. I was surprised how much debate there is for who takes the crown between Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham. Also who would be percieved as the smallest? For me the top four and bottom four...

    American Express Elite performance training centre

    Do the club have plans to release more photos of the completed training ground? There have been a number of photos released sporadically but to the best of my knowlede there has not been a complete gallery of every aspect of the impressive complex. Shortly after the completion of Tottenhams...

    New ticket kiosks at the Amex?

    Apologies if this has been discussed already but I found this picture on twitter, no idea how to post the tweet I'm afraid. It appears to be new ticket booths at the ground, is that right and if so does it mean there is POTD facilities coming to the Amex or are they just for collections?

    England and the flag of St George

    I've been looking at a number of images from the '66 world cup and notice thst most if not all flags in the crowd are Union flags as opposed to the flag of St George. A question perhaps to the older posters, when did England fans adopt the English flag? Quite a lot of people I know...
