If Wales beat Iran and we beat the Yanks, then this game has the potential to be accused of shithousery (real or not) of the highest order (but it would only be in line with what we have seen so far in this World Cup). This is because a draw would put us top of the group but also see Wales...
It looks as though our snail-pace escorted tour of the South Norwood streets, whilst being serenaded from the first-floor windows, will be a little quicker this year. This is despite the added attraction of the Christmas illuminations.
This is because the first of the 'special direct' trains to...
I know it may be hidden elsewhere on NSC, but it needs headliningfor those of you non-STH's.
Despite what the Albion website and twitter may say, you now only need 10+ points. Get in.
Just a heads up.
I can't see it on the club website news anywhere (or on NSC), but tickets go on sale to STH's, tomorrow Friday 18 March.
1432 allocation.
Tickets on sale tomorrow for 1140+ loyalty points, then 1050+ on Tues 17 November.
£32 for 'premium' seats and £27 'standard'.
(Apply your own comparable adjectives with knowledge of their away end!)
Derby County also on sale, £30.
Not a cheap time.
£37 for adults for our game. Must be the highest so far.
No wonder they delayed the sale date (and weren't even available to Platinum members at teatime tonight)
Just to point out that even though there has been no announcement in the 'News' on the official site, Walsall tickets have been on sale since yesterday !
Pity the poor ticket office with all the queries given the short timescale available.
For the first time that I can recall, you can choose your own away seats - as quite a few have already done so. So unless our ticket office are allowed to print their own seat numbers on, it will take a lot of extra time to marry them up to the purchasers.
I just hope that despite all this, the...
No not ‘Roy of the Rovers’ nor a nickname for the Albion, but with our own excitement and expectation of our impending visit to White Hart Lane, just think of how 15 and 16 year old lads felt about actually playing there in front of a big crowd, almost exactly 70 years ago.
My dad played there...
Bobby Smith, formerly of England and Spurs, made his league debut for little old Brighton in the Fourth Division at home to mighty Barrow. He had one year earlier won a European Cup Winners Cup winners medal and played for England. Previously he was in the Spurs double winning team and had...

Very cold day, big turn out from Brighton expecting big things. Thought Play-Off chances were gone when they over-ran us and we lost 2-0…..until the Wilkins free-kick the next week.

One of our daftest ever own goals – Graham Moseley walking backwards over the goal-line...
........that has made some of this site's biggest anti-heroes play their best (or one of their best) for the Albion.
I give you:
Mark Farrington - one sunny Easter Saturday at Burnley made or scored all 3 goals (I think he got 2 but can't be bothered to check)
Robbie Pethick - in an emergency...
No not a parody on Jimi Hendrix's lyrics. These were words said to me that I had never heard at a Brighton game ever before - stood in the public concourse. A cleaner wanted to mop up a spilt drink. A cleaner at a football match! This sums up the amazing level that we have jumped to in our...
Never seen so many staff! Propbably 150. some wandering around looking a bit lost. Catering staff, stewards, lots of men with collars and ties on. If you had a black or white shirt and black trousers you could have walked anywhere in the ground.
Not the first view that I wanted but had to...
As a youngster my Nan took me out for a walk every afternoon from her house in Moulsecoomb, the destination alternating - one day to Stanmer village and the next to Falmer pond (both with ice creams available!). Alongside the Lewes Road was the wondrous sight of Falmer Pumping Station. Looking...
Halftime research whilst bored.
Have you seen the christian names of the French substitutes tonight?
Whilst the starting eleven have all French or African christian names, including all those playing in England, the substitutes are a different matter (according to Sky Sports). There is a: Jimmy...
