3 stage plan for the Albion to make money: 1. Get bigger stadium to increase gate receipts. Normally, this would be offset by large interest payments on loan used to fund construction, but this is not the case with Falmer, as Bloom's loans are interest-free. 2. Use modern stadium and better...

Alex Dawson is absolutely correct. Whenever I analyse a club's financials, I always use the actual accounts, as sometimes the figures quoted by the media are misleading, if not downright wrong. Sometimes clubs provide their accounts on the website, but in this case I had to obtain them from...

Hi, I am the author of this article. Thought long and hard about writing it, as the events are a bit close to home and still make me angry. The financials are indeed sobering, so my guess is that there will not be a lot of money made available for transfers, but there is at least light at the...

Mullery - by a country mile. Following the Albion in that period was really something special.

That's great news. Danny Baker is far, far above the other 606 presenters. It would be even better if he again teamed up with his old mucker, Danny Kelly.

I also thought that he was surprisingly good this evening, definitely better than Shearer, though that's damning him with faint praise. My opinion of the Neviller also went up during Rio's hideous "merked" show, when he steadfastly refused to give anything to the (fake) police, who had trumped...

Right now, it's literally 50-50.

Absolutely - in the same way it could have been London, Ontario:)

Zurich, Switzerland. That's a bit like saying London, England, but just in case ...

Eric Gates. My old Ipswich supporting mate said that his pock marks were so deep that he could keep his loose change there.

"He shot, he scored, it must be Peter Ward, Peter Ward, Peter Ward"

I'm pretty sure that the Sunday night gigs during the punk era were at The Alhambra on the sea front, but I agree that the Piranhas and Nicky & The Dots were great. I also hugely enjoyed the Golinski Brothers, The Chefs and the Lillettes.
