We All Follow the Albion

The Albion head North today in what is arguably their biggest fixture of the past decade.

Despite contesting play-off matches in each of the last two seasons, it is tonight's visit to Elland Road that will be the pinnacle of recent times for the Seagulls.

Looking forward to the fixture, Leeds boss David Hockaday said: “I think Brighton will be tougher (than Middlesbrough) because when you are playing one of the favourites ...

With the Albion continued to be linked to Cork City's highly-rated defender Brian Lenihan yesterday, there are reports that Lenihan could be set to head to the Amex soon in a deal purported to be worth in the region of €200,000.

The Irishman has been watched by ...

Two games into the new Championship season, and Albion are still searching for their first points and goal in the league.

This isn’t something fans will be that unfamiliar with, as we were in a similar position points wise this time last year when Oscar Garcia was in the dugout, however under the Spaniard we opened the scoring on the opening day of the season at Leeds United.

And for Sami Hyypia’s men it’s Elland Road that provides the next opportunity for them to get off the mark at the third time of asking, with the Seagulls also being the only side ...

Danny Holla has conducted his first interview since signing a three-year deal with the Albion and revealed he is fit and ready to get immediately involved in first team action. The Dutchman has joined up with the Albion squad at St George’s Park, which the club are using as a base between Saturday’s Birmingham game and tomorrow evening’s Championship clash at Leeds United.

Asked about how the move to Brighton happened, Holla revealed he ...

The beam back of Tuesday evening's game at Elland Road has sold out. 300 spaces were up for grabs in the Heineken Lounge at the Amex, for an event that is the first of its kind under new Football League rules for evening fixtures where the geographical locations of the two sides involved makes ...

Albion have again been linked with highly-rated Irishman Brian Lenihan - a connection that has been made several times this Summer.

The Cork City defender has been monitored by a number of clubs, including Premier League Crystal Palace and Hull City. It is believed the Eagles recently had a ...

The murmurings of discontent continued over the weekend before, during and after the arrival of Danny Holla with the general sentiment of the naysayers being "He was signed on a free, no one else wanted him so he must be rubbish."

As detailed in our interview with someone who watches a lot of Eredivisie football, that is anything but the case and surprise ...

It wasn't a classic away day for the Albion, but if you are a sucker for punishment, we've rounded up the best of the videos of the day. ...

Albion fans who are unable to make the long midweek trip to Elland Road are reminded that due to a recent Football League change, the game will be screened live at the Amex.

Up to 300 fans can be accommodated in The Heineken Lounge at The Amex, with the game kicking off at 7:45pm.

Entrance for the ...

Albion fans may have been scratching their heads about a small story in the Argus (and I'm not talking about player recruitment for once) advising that four non-executive directors had each bought £5,000 shares in the Albion at face value 'to comply with company law'.

The Albion company structure

The way the Albion is structured as a business is as follows:

Brighton and Hove Albion Holdings Limited owns 100% of two active trading companies

• Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club Limited
• The Community Stadium Limited

Brighton and Hove Albion Holdings Limited has just over 76 million £1 shares ...

After changes to the queueing system at Brighton Station were introduced for this season, it has now been announced that the main taxi rank will be closed for all home midweek Albion fixtures at the Amex.

Before the opening day Sheffield Wednesday fixture, the queue of fans waiting for Falmer bound trains extended out of the station concourse area itself and through and around the taxi rank itself, and the potential danger was obvious to anyone caught up in the queue at the busiest time.

During this period some Albion fans reported trains leaving Brighton Station ...

Danny Holla arrived at the Albion today in a surprise move to many. Few were expecting a strengthening of central midfield numbers with the ongoing issues at left-back and lack of any real goal-scoring quality seemingly more pressing matters for the club's recruitment team. Danny Holla has been playing his trade most recently at ADO Den Haag in the Dutch top division before leaving the club at the end of the last season. Few Albion ...

Amongst the “he was free so he must be rubbish” response to Brighton’s latest signing, Danny Holla, one comment jumped out to me, but I’ve not seen it mentioned anywhere elsewhere on NSC including the 21,000+ view, and counting, main thread.

Let’s look at a part of the club’s own statement on www.seagulls.co.uk:

Albion boss Sami Hyypia said, "Danny is a player who has plenty of top-flight experience in Holland with more than 200 senior appearances, and that experience is something we need. ...

Albion have completed the signing of Dutch midfielder Danny Holla on a three-year contract, until June 2017.

Holla was present at St Andrews yesterday to see Albion's second 1-0 defeat of the campaign but, despite that, has committed to a three-year deal, and has joined up with the Albion squad ahead of Tuesday night's visit to Elland Road. Having not been involved in a formal pre-season training programme, ...
