I have paid for 2 tickets for Derby vs Albion online and received confirmation email. As the Club advised that Derby would not deal with any tickets lost in the post (ie issue duplicates) I opted for the "Collect" option rather than trust the Sussex mail. Unfortunately the Club , to my...

Ian Holloways self imposed departure yesterday set me thinking. How many Albion (or other Clubs managers) can you remember just giving up without having another Club or job to go to? Steve Coppell gave up at Man City because it was too much for him. Others please.

I've been doing a bit of a clear out and have 22 home programmes I no longer need. They are in good condition (not marked) and rather than throw them away I wonder if anyone would like them - good reading for young Albion fans etc. I have 8 from season 2012-2013 & 14 from season 2011-2012...

Enough of this doom and gloom. Lets remember the F.A.Cup. 6 iconic games , one from each decade, were you there - anyone at all six? 1. Nov 13 1965 (Goldstone) vs Wisbech Town (Round 1) WON 10-1 2. Dec 6 1977 (Stamford Bridge) vs Crystal Palace (Round 1 , 2nd replay) LOST 0-1 3. April...

I'll start us off - Fabien Barthez (won the World Cup 1998). Top that.

It's a slow Tuesday evening so I thought I would drag out a Christmas Present. I randomly picked out 4 questions from the Roy Of The Rovers quiz cards - here they are . 1. Which founder members of the Second Division went into administration in March 2012 ? 2. When Scotland manager Jock Stein...

Seems that Sir Alex may have quite a say in the Promotion & Relegation issues in our league. Media outlets quote him as saying that he would like to "help" Peterborough (and his son !) avoid relegation by loaning them a couple of players and that to ensure the Zaha deal goes through he would...

As most of us watch the majority of games at home I think it is worth reflecting on Gus' home league record since joining us in November 2009. Inheriting Russell Slades team he started off with a thumping 0-3 defeat by Leeds which left us 20th in League 1 and then he got us to finish 13th -...

I don't think I've ever seen a match where at least 3 minutes of time is not added - even in the Forest game where no goals were scored and no injuries occured. However, last night in the second half, three goals were scored (one a disputed penalty) and their trainer must have been on the pitch...

I wish to purchase my own season ticket seats in the WSU (£28 each) for the Newcastel FA Cup game. Unfortunately now the general sale date is upon us I cannot do this online as the WSU is not on general sale and I am not allowed to "add reserve seats". I appreciate that my seats may have been...

So far the only Club, that has revisited the Amex, to have increased their support here is Cardiff. Everyone else has had fewer supporters than last season which is a bit disappointing. Of the remaining home fixtures I can only see Derby,Leicester & Palace possibly bringing more this season than...

How many of this ticket package were purchased by supporters ?

As I have passed 50 years of age my memory is on the blink. Flicking through the Story of Brighton & Hove Albion (Tim Carder & Roger Harris) I can clearly recall nearly all the regular first team players since I started watching the Albion in the late 60's . However, in season 1992-93 the Albion...

....so says my wife! For over 30 years she has maintained this and she only has two female artists in her record collection over this period.It's something to do with the weakness of their voices apparently. Over the years I have purchased many female singers/bands records/cds - However, I...

I pick and chose my away league games (usually about 5 or 6 a season) - last season I went to 8 away league matches and didn't see the Albion win a game. I've just had a little look back at our away games and I am ashamed to say that the last time I can actually state I was at an Albion away...

I have yet to see a photo of Withdean or match action for any of our games there at the Amex. I know the North Stand concourse has a homage to the Goldstone but our Withdean era seems to have been overlooked. Please correct me if I am wrong. In 12 seasons at Withdean we won three championships...

I have recently returned from a very pleasant holiday break in Ireland. In the taxi back to Dublin airport I noticed the taxi driver had a Liverpool FC sticker in the back window. I got talking to him and he eventually asked who I supported. "Brighton" I replied "That's on the coast " said he -...

Well Tuesday night saw the start of our second season at the wonderful Amex. Just wondering what future first time events (good & bad) we have to look forward to seeing there on and off the pitch. I'll start the ball rolling by saying - A hat-trick scored by an Albion player.

Just found an Argus supplement pullout poster dated 2005 listing the Greatest Albion Team as voted for by Argus Readers. - Manager - Alan Mullery Goalkeeper - Graham Moseley Right Back - John Crumplin Centre half - Steve Foster Centre half - Mark Lawrenson Left Back - Gary Stevens Right...

Getting bored of the daily East Stand erection updates ? I thought I would offer an alternative - my neighbours new conservatory is being built and work started today. Here is my daily photo - More tomorrow if I can be bothered.
