It is strange that because I admit to not knowing or recognizing some of the many that fought for our survival and saying so I am cast in a bad light. Nobody is decrying them or saying anything against them just that the word legends is used too freely and wrongly in my view especially with players.although I agree that because of his goal SS comes into that category. If they did more than others then perhaps it is appropriate to refer to them as legends. I am sure somebody will tell me of such deeds.

To be honest, when I opened the thread I expected to see a picture of one of the NSC Greyhounds with one of our players.

You write stuff like this as if we are expected to read into it some sort of claim that you were backing the Club during the struggle to get to Falmer. The reality is that you spent those years taking every opportunity to distance yourself from the campaign and undermine Dick Knight's leadership of it.

Indeed. One of our group also said BG was a big Stanley supporter so we know which side his bread is buttered...
Anyway BG sod off you miserable shitbag. Its a celebration of a few Albion fans on a jolly to Berlin and just by chance Stuart Storer was in the same bar. What are the chances.
All those fans know Stuart because we were all there and one even did time over Belotti.

Funny thing isn't it? Although they were dark dark days for our club, both on and off the pitch, in many ways, they are the times in my Albion supporting 'career' that I look back upon with the fondest memories. We were all in it together somehow, players AND fans.
Does that make any kind of sense?
You don't quite get self deprecation do you?
The photo, the Storer smile, the memories of THAT goal are inspirational.

Absolute sense.
We were fighting, and sometimes it was fighting, for something that's a huge part of our life, that was dying before our eyes.
And we survived, against all odds.
Everyone in that photo made sacrifices for the Albion, some paid a heavy price, I salute them all.

Absolutely, I met some good people during those times and through connections made some good friends...Especially when taking part in various protests, be those around the back of the West Stand or standing on the South-West terrace so as to hurl abuse at Bellotti amongst many, many more forms of action.
Agree with this completely. I am guessing [MENTION=451]BensGrandad[/MENTION] is still bitter at being laughed out of that BISA meeting for making a tit of himself all those years ago.
Oh and for the record, I have hugged 2 in that picture and both of them are Valders!
Albion & England forever.

That is totally wrong. Through one of my companies I did some work for Greg Stanley at the Blue Peter Club so obviously had to deal with him. I was also asked to front a possible bid to buy the club and as such attended many meetings with him and Archer and the people with the finance in the consortium but agreement could not be reached as to the price. DK then took over and I had my reservations that he would have the finance or backing to take us forward to a new ground and always hoped for somebody else to step in, which TB did. However I like many others did what we considered to be our bit towards making the FA and club chairmen etc see our plight and help resolve it. I am not saying that I did any more or less than most just what I could and what I thought would help. I considered that DK had the heart for us but the finance for a senior non league club At no time did I try to undermine or hinder the moves to get us a new ground. The consortium that I was involved in did not see Falmer as the ideal place but once it was decided then it was all systems go and I backed that decision. Full credit to TB he has provided the money and the stadium for which we should all be proud but in the same time thanking DK for his stewardship of the club during the initial days. My only concern with DK was that he was estimated to be worth £2m hardly sufficient to run a football league team.

That's what I miss nowadays, no reports of "we met such and such in this nightclub or this bar and the manager is a !! training is rubbish, all those ad hoc reports, which made the players seem part of the club.
