    [Misc] Inheritance

    Didn't associate this lot with a bit of flamenco. Obviously exhibiting my musical ignorance.

    Yes, my kids would struggle!

    [Misc] Inheritance

    Following the advice of my my learned colleagues, I conclude that I am a bad father because my two boys don't follow the Albion, therefore I should spend their inheritance. It is only just and fair.

    [Misc] Inheritance

    I couldn’t be more excited. Travelling back from Andalucia for both the Forest and Villa matches. Haven’t been to the Amex for about4 seasons. We are going fell those ‘tricky trees’. The Spanish commentators love that nick name. Personally, I had never heard it before. Smiling to myself as...

    [Misc] Retirement

    Very late to this one. Everyone is in a different situation. My advice would be retire as soon as you have the option to do so. I know that it is a big step, but I can't believe the number of deaths that I have heard of, from my circle of friends, colleagues etc. about people that we knew, that...

    [Albion] The last “Great” night at the Goldstone?

    Yes - that is the night for me. My brother had been working in Saudi and I had been sending him Air Mail letters telling him how great Ward and `Mellor were. At the game, his first in a long time, he was less than impressed until......

    [Albion] Why do so many of our fans think we are still a 'small club'?

    Interesting, re Sussex and beyond now being Albionised. When I was at school, in Burgess Hill, in the late 60s-early 70s, we all supported the Albion and a London based team. Mine was West Ham. We went to all of the Albion home matches, and occasionally to home matches of our London based team...

    [Finance] Do you charge your kids rent ?

    I come from an age when it was fairly standard to pay housekeeping. I went to work in 1974 and paid £5 per week out of my £16 wage. We were working class. By my own sterling efforts we had climbed to the great heights of lower middle class, by the time we had kids. Neither of the kids have ever...

    [Albion] Biggest single result since Hereford?

    Unlike many other views here, I feel that this is the biggest result since Hereford. It almost guarantees survival. Given the economic benefits that the club will receive from a further season(s), it is undeniably an immensely important moment in the history of our club. Whilst any win is only...

    [Albion] Transport to/from The Amex

    I haven't been to the ground for a couple of years as I now live in Spain but am going on Monday. Two questions: 1) Does the travel voucher cover travel from Lewes station? 2) Is it still as chaotic as ever (or worse) getting a train back to Lewes? Thanks to anyone that can give any advice.

    Middlesbrough opinion of us

    I saw Boro lose at Cardiff, earlier this year. I was ready to be impressed, as I saw them there last year and thought that they were the best team that I had seen. This year, they were, at best, ordinary and were beaten by a poor Cardiff team which had no big names in it, other than a couple of...

    Did you get a Cup Final ticket in 1983?

    I got a ticket which I subsequently gave to my brother, a submariner, who had been sitting on the bottom of the ocean, threatening the Russians throughout the whole of the cup run. I was a copper in the Met at the time and went with him and got in by showing my warrant card. He got himself a...
