Just three yellow cards in 33 appearances this season is impressive too. He doesn't dive in unnecessarily. Unless you think he should be buying the occasional yellow to break up play after a turnover??

The Terrace Beamback ticket for today doesn’t have a “add to wallet” option but does have folding instructions. Does that mean I have to print it? EDIT: Just spotted the small print saying it can be saved on your phone and scanned on entry

I'm quite looking forward to strolling down to the top floor of the Marina car park for the novelty value (there's a short cut from opposite the bottom of Arundel Road that attendees of the Sunday morning marina car boot will know) ... but the club's late and low profile communications on this...

It really looks to me like people's differing views on the issue boil down to what they mean by "fair": rewarding loyalty/financial commitment, or being more inclusive, which means introducing more churn or randomness into ticket allocation. Different definitions, but both sides use the same word.

I went on the stadium tour a couple of years ago. There is a (very modest) trophy cabinet which, iirc, has no recognition of the 1910 charity shield, nor the 1958 title.

Well, 7% of people send their kids to private school. And the Telegraph and Times keep telling us how hard it is for these people that they now have to pay VAT on school fees. So maybe they can't afford to renew their Albion season tickets

I'm the same age as the OP, so this got me wondering how much age has to do with how I feel about the Albion's situation. I reckon that, as I've got older, it's easier to get football in perspective ... but, on the other hand, this team is obvs the best I've seen in 45 years of following the...

Oh, whereabouts are they? There has long been some bike parking space right at the edge of the car park near the top entrance, but it's those terrible racks that are only ever installed by people who don't cycle, which don't enable you to lock your frame to the rack because they are so low.

This is surely a long-term solution, but the flaw is the terrible infrastructure for cycling in Brighton & Hove. A safe journey from (say) Old Steine to the stadium is one thing, but massive numbers won't use it until the rest of the city feels save to cycle in, because at some point (unless you...

That's a good point, and I'm not saying that some sort of definitive line has been crossed ... but I do think that with the pricing of things, we can tell ourselves that you could save up or borrow for something expensive ( a Tunnel Club ticket?!), which isn't something that applies to having an...

There's an eligibility check for an Amex card, so can we stop with the 'anyone can get one' comments please? This is social segregation, unlike other things the club has done that I'm aware of. For example I could borrow money from mates to buy a pricey match ticket, but being able to get an...

I went for a fortnight, two years ago in January. It's low season and we found you could book accommodation on the hoof via booking.com etc cheaply. Someone had tipped us off to this so we didn't book everything before we left, which I think is a good call in Japan. You may find (we did) that...

We must be the first and only club to be reigning champions of three national leagues. For a brief period in April 2002, we had won the Division 2 (ie League One / third division) title with games to spare, still held the Division 3 (ie League Two / fourth division) title as it was still up for...

Darts (starring our very own @Hornblower ) in Eastbourne in 1977. I was ten years old.

My take on the 'market rate' issue is that from 1997 onwards, for a few years, the season ticket renewal letters from the Albion were explicit that the ST charge was above the market rate, as the club needed the extra money to survive. Now the club has a large non-matchday income, and isn't...
