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...

Ok, this seems to be properly sorted now. On my iPhone at least, it’s click and play, no messing around.

I did it on my iPhone - it didn't seem to work first time but then I realised that it was defaulting to 'muted' so I had to unmute before doing the 'picture in picture' thing. I hope that helps but I guess there's no way to test it until the next game you're not at

This is now sorted. It's not quite as easy as it was in previous seasons, but you can now listen without have to keep the app open and the screen on. I did yesterday. Click on 'listen live', toggle the sound on, touch the 'picture in picture' icon, and they you can navigate away while the...

My experience: trainers/walking shoes sold as waterproof get smelly long before those not sold as waterproof (which makes sense as they're less breathable).

I have good news, and it reflects really well on the club. I emailed PBOBE about this issue and had a reply the next day from Paul Camillin to say that, in response, the Albion digital team has asked the app provider to have 'Playback SDK' built and tested before the mens' and womens' first team...

I've found (in Brighton either at home or in town), I can no longer listen to an away game commentary as it stops as soon as the phone screen goes dark or if I go to another app. This wasn't the case before. I think it's because the commentary is now in the 'video' section of the app, so it's...

What about ministers and backbenchers? Our local MP (Kemptown and Peacehaven constituency), along with plenty other MPs, accepted Taylor Swift tickets from the Premier League.

All those young comedians called Russell

Thanks @Bozza for starting this thread and so prompting me to sort out the waterproofing on my North Face coat. I checked their website, which said: wash with detergent, rinse, rinse again, then cool/slow tumble try ... and it has worked a treat, based on the test I just did pouring on water and...

I found that really supportive, surprisingly expensive insoles did the business for me

And And if you do start, look out for puzzles set in the Guardian by Paul. He's an Albion fan and very occasionally includes Albion-related clues

Thank you for the explainer. The French system is so different from ours and I had been wondering about the rationale and precedents for what Macron has done (and I used to live in France!)

The cricket has been great viewing, even if all the commentary is from the Surrey social media team. Sussex 213/7 off twenty. Tune in now to watch the Surrey wickets tumble.
