Born in a tied cottage on Rowner farm in West Sussex between Billingshurst and Wisborough Green, college in Huddersfield for 3 years then followed work in Horsham then various parts of London - Islington, Archway, Willesden Green, Golders Green, Lewisham, Walthamstow and finally found myself in...

I remember the LC game well and even now it still stands as one of my worst away games ever. I was a student at Huddersfield Poly and a mate of mine drove up from Sussex to stay for a couple of days of Timmy Taylors induced student mayhem and to go to the Barnsley game. We drove over with...

RG31 for me and I pick up an RG30 for every home game and some aways! I would be very interested to see the updated 'post Amex revolution' stats.

180 mile round trip from Reading for me. Bit difficult with kids football some Saturday mornings but still manage to get to the Amex in time for my Albion fix. Scarcely missed a home game since being exiled in Berkshire. Our beautiful new home makes it all worthwhile!

Like other posters I can fully recommend the Rui Tequila. We had a great time there this summer with a total of 16 of us going in 4 family groups. The only problem was that we had to adapt our stay to accommodate an early departure so I could make the Doncaster game, albeit a little jetlagged...

Seem to remember getting into a few beer fuelled scrapes with him on a pre season tour to Holland. Dordrecht and Groningen I think, back in the late 70's? For a couple of years afterwards we saw him at away games for a bit of beer and banter but then he seemed to disapear off the scene. Didnt...

That sounds promising, I assumed that the club would only look closer to home for this service - fingers crossed!

Well I drive to every home game from Tilehurst and pick up another from West Reading, its no problem for me going via Bracknell. Mind you, working out our timings for travel to the Amex will take a bit of trial and error! Over the years of lurking on this site I have seen quite a few 'exiles' in...

Perish the thought old chap - Tilehurst/Purley borders I think the estate agents describe it, however my good lady is certainly a Tilehurst girl! Thats the only reason I am in Reading! I drive to home games with another Sussex exile who lives off the Oxord Road and we certainly see a few Albion...

As Sir Albion points out there seem to be plenty of us exiled in the Reading/Thames Valley area. Thames Valley Seagulls has a ring to it.....

After 4 hours of driving from Reading due to the weather and utter spazzers on the road I arrived at my mates just after 6 in Hove to find that the game had been unsurprisingly postponed. Bizarrely I suspected all along that it would be called off but ploughed on regardless, in retrospect I have...

To reply to 'Alex Dawson' The Blue Ship will never be as good as when Dick and Eileen Mansfield stumbled through running the Blue Ship in the seventies. They had a proper bar billiards and darts team and approximated all bar bills and had to be reminded they hadnt charged enough. Their old...

First time poster but I had to respond to Harry Enfield being an Albion fan. I grew up 'next door' to Harry though we were the scruffy farm kids from over the road and went to the Weald School the local comprehensive in Billingshurst while Harry went to prep school. He never exhibited much...
