    [Travel] Who on earth closed the A27 v Man City

    A27 west bound between Lewes & The Amex was closed before the end of the game. Whilst this didn't effect me, on the coach going eastbound there were many many more people than usual stood on the A27 bridge and the down slip to Lewes near the bus stop where they get picked up by car. These people...

    [Football] This 'yellow card' rule, did you know it?

    To sum up, Villa keeper Martinez was booked during the UCL game v Lille. The game went to pens and Martinez played his usual role in front of the Lille fans, finger to mouth shushing them etc. He was warned of his conduct and then booked. In theory this was a second yellow but it was later...

    [Albion] So, how much did Europe cost you?

    It's frightening. I done all four. Two were three day events and Athens & Rome were 7 day holidays with the wife. I used my card for nearly everything (Nationwide no fees) so I know what I spent. My total outlay via bank statements was £4405 including travel, hotel and all food & drink. Being...

    [Drinking] Free Water

    All those running taps on street corners or squares in Rome are free drinking water. Cup your hands together and enjoy free, fresh, cool drinking water. As a side though, that's a lot of water going to waste.

    [Albion] Club Store to have a Quiet Hour.

    Just in case anyone missed it, and from experience I know this effects many people. To sum up, 3rd March TV's off, no sound and restricted entry. https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/3873548/club-superstore-to-have-quiet-hour-in-march

    [Football] That 30 second injury rule

    More than once today (Everton) one of our players was taken out by a foul. Trainer has to come on at which point the player, through no fault of his own, has to stand on the touchline for 30 seconds. Now, I understand this is to stop uninjured players faking an injury to waste time, but when it...

    [Albion] The definitive Benfica / Sporting days switch thread.

    We will know at 22:00 on Thursday 22nd if, as expected, both teams from Lisbon get through to the knockout stage. In which case, both teams would be at 'home' on the first game, something that couldn't happen. With the draw on Friday UEFA would have had 12 hours to decide what to do. I say 12...

    [Football] African Cup of Nations, Final

    Sunday 11th Feb. 20:00 (19:30 Sky) Ivory Coast v Nigeria Simon Adingra could return with some silverware. To him this has to be equivalent to Dunk winning Euro 24. Let's wish him the best.

    [Albion] How many competitions are we in?

    I don't mean the just 1st team, but all the others? It seems I get an email daily now from the club telling me some team has won (or lost) another game. Ladies - Continental Cup, Super League & FA Cup. 2 games in next 8 days. U21's - Premier League 2, International Cup & EFL Trophy. 3...

    [Albion] Benfica & Sporting

    With the possibility of both Benfica & Sporting getting through to the round of 16 and their grounds being within walking distance of each other, who will get priority of the home game first? As it stands both will be unseeded and will have to play the first game at home but obviously that wont...

    [Brighton] £40 fine for 'idling' your car

    As of today there is a £40 fine if you leave your car idling whilst parked in Brighton. This, of course, excludes whilst waiting in a traffic jam or at lights. Whilst this may be a good thing, who is going to enforce it? On Brighton seafront we get two traffic warden visits a day, zero police...

    [Football] Question for footballers.

    With reference in particular to the Forest v Man Utd game 30 December where Forest wore red shirts and Man Utd looked like Newcastle wearing black and white stripes I'd not seen before. So, as a player, do you ever get confused as to which shirt to pass to? I kept making the mistake thinking...

    [Politics] How much data do you get for £11,000

    Couldn't see this elsewhere. Scottish MP Michael Matheson has blamed his kids for racking up an £11,000 data charge whilst using an ipad in Morocco. £7000 of this was in one day when they used over 7GB of data to watch a football match. That's £1000 per GB of data. Firstly, does a football match...

    [Albion] Seagull Special Train

    The 'First away game' thread had me searching through history. I went to many games on the special trains but When did they first run? When was the last trip? Do you have many memories of sitting in the sidings in north London waiting for another diesel engine or driver. The Buffet Car with...
