    [Albion] Taking a motorcycle to the Amex on Sunday: Where do I leave a helmet?

    You ride into the main entrance with the P&R buses. Take the first right and look for the stewards who will direct you to the left (lower) level or the right (they fill up the lower level first). Once you are around the corner (left or right) you can mount the pavement and park up (usually in...

    [Albion] Everton and anti football

    With 'injuries' it's not about the time wasting it's about breaking up the pressure/flow of play. IMHO the only solution that will work is to allow the physios on without stopping play. Those players that are genuinely injured will receive the appropriate treatment and be subbed if necessary at...

    [Albion] Villarreal friendly 10/8/24

    I've ridden my motorbike to almost every home game for the last three years. It is a very well used facility and works really well. I'd be very surprised if they change the current setup.

    What football laws would you like to be introduced or changed.

    You shouldn't be allowed to shield a ball unless you've touched it first. Problem solved. Obstruction if you haven't touched it. In a similar vein - first person to touch it off the pitch has to take the throw in or corner. Offside needs to be the same as now but the lines need to be the...

    [Albion] New fan zone - "The Terrace" [Opening 29/03/25 currently]

    The (pre stadium) construction of the ramp down to the station. You can see the unconstructed East Stand in the background.

    [Football] Game management

    Roma had an offside kick or foul at around 80 mins. Mancini lines up to kick it...waits 20 seconds then steps over it and leaves it for the keeper. Ref blew up went charging towards him while reaching for his pocket and then bottled it when he realised Mancini was already booked and he'd have...

    [Albion] Brighton are playing Everton tomorrow, in the Premier League

    Funnily enough I had actually forgotten. Thought it was another away fixture. Fortunately I was out for a curry for my friends 50th and someone asked me if I was going tomorrow. Much confusion ensued.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again We've come a long, long way together Through the hard times and the gloom I have to celebrate you, Tony I have to praise you Tony Bloom

    [Albion] Parking at the stadium - probably silly question

    Yes. Last time I went there they directed me down to the car park below Bennet's Field

    [Football] How to fix VAR ?

    This used to be my preferred solution for offside however since we've seen several decisions with lines drawn in the wrong place or wrong frame frozen I think that no lines and the 30 second rule is probably a better experience for all involved. If they can't tell by watching the replays within...

    [Albion] Song for Karou Mitoma (I need your help)

    Other than the obvious reason.... I was attempting (perhaps naively) to get us singing the correct pronunciation with the emphasis on MEE Glad All Over requires the anglicised version with the emphasis on TOE This Girl provides the perfect rhythm for his name and is about as basic as a song...

    [Albion] Song for Karou Mitoma (I need your help)

    I was just watching the Chelsea full match replay on chelseafc.com and it struck me that the commentator was actually pronouncing Mitoma's name correctly Cow're-oo Mee-toe-mar (think "isobar" for rhythm of his surname - with the emphasis on Mee) (How to pronounce Kaoru Mitoma - YouTube) Anyway...
