Very good article about (and interview with) former Albion left-back Alex Cochrane on the Sussex County FA website, for anyone interested: SUSSEX BORN & BRED: ALEX COCHRANE (Interesting that when he joined RUSG on loan, he showed up for training on his first day and....the coach had no idea he...

Now known as the Sussex Transport Senior Cup.

Albion U-21s were beaten by a Brentford B side today in a friendly - Under-21s beaten by Brentford B Andi Zeqiri got some game time, as did Odel Offiah and James Furlong. An unnamed trialist scored our goal. However, the line-up lists a "Babb" as a substitute. I am unaware of anybody in the...

The Premier League website is showing the attendance for today's game as 31,872, which would be a new record attendance for the Amex (beating the 31,746 who witnessed the battering of Chelsea last October). However, the match report on the club website shows the attendance as 31,672. Which one...

Albion U-21s kick-off their 2023-24 season tonight when they host Leeds United at the American Express Elite Football Performance Centre. Premier League 2 this season is a single division with fixtures based on the "Swiss Model". As there is a Premier League fixture this evening I'm guessing...

Congratulations to the youngsters who have been called into the England U-16 squad for two friendly matches in Italy on August 22nd and 24th.

On July 19 last year it was reported that Albion U-21 left-back Zak Sturge's rumoured move to Chelsea (despite being offered a professional contract by the Seagulls) was finally official. On August 5 another left-back, Player of the Season Marc Cucurella, was sold to the Blues for the...

Anyone going (or, indeed, already there)?

The interminable 2022-23 season refuses to acknowledge its own mortality with a couple of Albion players STILL on international duty (Carl Rushworth, a man destined never to win an international cap and Tom McGill, a Canadian with more England caps than Carl Rushworth). Just before we rush...

Max Sanders (who made three appearances for Albion in the Carabao Cup in 2020-21) was released by Lincoln City at the end of the season. He has just signed a two-year deal with League One Leyton Orient. Joe Ward (who Albion signed from Chelmsford City in the summer of 2015 after a successful...

Apparently there will be changes to PL2 next season, with just a single division containing the 25 clubs. I've read the following article, but I don't understand how the fixture list will be created. Premier League 2 to switch to Swiss-style format from next season If anybody can help explain...

In previous years I have created a thread similar to this to enable all Albion pre-season matches to be collated in one place (the added benefit of having the NSC hive mind flag up obscure fixtures I would never otherwise have heard about is, of course, purely coincidental). In July we will...

In this incredible season for the Albion, perhaps one of the most extraordinary statistics is that there have been Premier League appearances for nine - count them, NINE - players who either came up through the youth system as scholars or joined the club at scholar age (I make that distinction...

There has been no official news from the club yet but in the last few days a few of the U-21s have taken to social media to report their departure from the Seagulls. So far we know the following are not being retained:- Toby Bull - goalkeeper who has been with the club for 10 years. He had a...

Tomorrow the 24-team 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup commences in Argentina. It should have been hosted by Indonesia but on March 29 FIFA stripped them of hosting rights due to protests about the participation of Israel. It was only on April 17 (little more than a month ago) that FIFA confirmed the...

Congratulations to Albion youngster Samy Chouchane who has been selected in the Tunisian squad for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Argentina that begins on May 20 (the competition that Facundo Buonanotte will not be playing in).

Congratulations to Freddie Simmonds and Harry Howell (son of Jamie, I do believe), two Albion U-15 academy players who have been selected for the England U-15 squad for a tournament being hosted at the Pinatar Arena in Spain over the next few days. Both lads have been in the academy from U-9...

There are many indicators of the degree to which the club has developed over the last couple of decades or so, but I'm struggling to get my head around the fact that Albion have an astonishing 30 (yes, 30) players (across all age groups) on international duty this week. Even that number doesn't...
