    [Albion] Club cancelling ST due to non-attendance

    Paul Barber OBE's book would probably read similar given his love of appearing in the media talking about how amazing we are and his allergic reaction to any kind of criticism That is, presumably, the sort of person you need to be to successfully run a professional football club. No surprise...

    [Albion] Albion Boxing Day - Martin Samuel

    The idea suggested by that article that an independent football regulator is a bad idea because Brighton cannot play home games on Boxing Day (which we did three years ago in front of under 15,000) screams of an argument put forward to a journalist who is anti independent regulator by a club who...

    [Albion] If you're disappointed about another home non-win, please don't email PBOBE later tonight...

    Can anyone remember the last CEO to criticise supporters in their programme notes?

    [Albion] If you're disappointed about another home non-win, please don't email PBOBE later tonight...

    Surely there aren't Brighton fans thick enough to email Paul Barber because we haven't won for four (now five) Premier League matches? He's got to be lying about it to try and make a thinly disguised point that we shouldn't be moaning, just without using the term "history lesson" to do so

    [Albion] Behave at West Ham…

    Does it matter? The bloke is paid over a million a year to run a football club. He should be thick skinned enough not to let it impact him. Oh wait..

    [Albion] Club selling your seat, is this right?

    Remove the requirement that a ticket can only be shared with someone willing to pay £35 odd to be a MyAlbion+ Member and you will have more seats filled, higher spend on food and drink, better atmosphere, improved optics on TV from a stadium no longer littered with empty seats and no need to...

    [Albion] Behave at West Ham…

    Starting to get pissed off with the patronising emails coming from the club. First they send you a shit email if your season ticket seat is empty, having partly created the situation themselves by only allowing tickets to be passed onto a MyAlbion+ Member. Now this warning that we're all being...

    [Albion] ST= Travel

    I have started walking from Brighton to the Amex. Which means if it is pissing down with rain, I don't bother going. I never missed a game at Withdean or in the Amex early years but priorities change and watching the Albion just isn't important enough for me anymore to justify spending hours...

    [Albion] Fab OUT

    It's a silly question now. Might not be so silly if we end up finishing in the bottom half at the end of the season after spending £200m. Because if the blame for that isn't on the manager, then people will start looking at recruitment...

    [Albion] A hard-fought point on the road, or...

    Not even chaileybot would try and spin that into a hard earned point on the road... would he?

    What was the reason for Saunders leaving in the first place?

    [Albion] Just how good is Hürzeler?

    We would be level on points with Liverpool had we reappointed Graham Potter in the summer

    [Football] The Non-League Football Thread- 2024/25 Edition

    The money to put in the 4G is 100% conditional on said investor having their manager in charge There was a rumour on social media a few weeks ago over Rouane leaving, so this has been in the pipeline for some time. Haywards Heath couldn't sack him all the time they were winning, but the first...

    [Football] SAMI - 10 years on

    We had all summer to get a deal for Ward done. All summer to agree a fee with Wolves. Spent it haggling over a few quid and were then surprised when Burnely came in and he signed for them Which absolutely sums up that whole period of recruitment

    [Football] SAMI - 10 years on

    It is forgotten that Poyet's "glass ceiling" comments after the Palace game were partly in relation to FFP. He said in the same press conference Brighton had big problems as a result, or something along those lines Oscar presumably foresaw the same problems 12 months later, which is why he...

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

    Bold doing it for Brentford if the trains are up the creek. It it is a repeat of that Boxing Day game against them a few years ago, there could be more singers there than Albion fans (official attendance 31,243. Thank you for your fantastic support)

    [Albion] Todays women’s game

    Should we hate Brighton Women too for having next-to-no presence in the upper reaches of the footballing pyramid until Tony Bloom started funding it?

    [Albion] Stand or Fall

    Question for those who have seen it - does Greg Stanley appear at all or have his part in trying to run the club out of business acknowledged? Or is Tony Bloom still trying to pretend he played no part in it because Stanley was good mates with Uncle Ray?

    01/11 - 13st 4 08/11 - 13st 2.5 15/11 - 13st 2.5 No loss but at least no gain. All to do now to make the seven pound loss for the month though. Annoyingly, I know exactly where it went wrong. When O'Riley scored that winner on Saturday. Home at 1am via a kebab. Hoping the international break...
