From the gallery on the club website today, can you name this Albion U-23 player? Hint: it isn't Marc Leonard.

It was on November 7 1981 that my dad, me, our German school-exchange student Frank, my friend Richard and his dad Reg made the trip from Eastbourne to the Goldstone Ground to see Albion take on Birmingham in Division One. I was a football-mad 13-year-old, but nobody else in my family shared my...

The Guardian have published the 2021 version of their annual article - Next Generation 2021: 20 of the best talents at Premier League clubs Their selection for Albion this time is Jack Hinshelwood (yes, he is). And Brighton-born lad Fin Stevens features for Brentford.

I'm creating this thread for purely selfish reasons - I'm waiting on the exchange opening for the Man City game so I can snap up two tickets side-by-side. Mods - I'm fully aware there was a thread created for the Arsenal game, and if you deem that this should be merged, so be it. However, it...

It would appear that the match will be available to view (to all, I think) via the Arsenal website from 7pm this evening - Watch our under-23s LIVE on Arsenal.com

Albion's 2nd-year scholar left-back Zak Sturge was named, last week, in the England U-18 squad that faces Wales tomorrow (Friday). On Saturday, forward Zak Emmerson was called into the squad. The match is apparently being streamed by the FA of Wales on their facebook page and youtube channel...

Some may have missed the announcement from the club yesterday that Jack Hinchy, a midfielder, has signed on a two-year deal from Stockport County. This has obviously been in the works for a while; I had noticed on their fans forum a while ago that there was mention of him moving south. The fee...

Last month Albion announced the new 1st-year scholars for the season, and it would seem sensible to have a thread that keeps all info related to the U-18s (and the matches they play) together. This is the new intake (Evan Ferguson wasn't included in the photo, for some reason):- Photo credit...

It wasn't one of the original pre-season fixtures for the U-23s, as announced by the club, but today (Wednesday) they have stated on the website that there is a fixture against Sutton United at the American Express Elite Football Performance Centre tomorrow (Thursday) morning, kick-off 11am -...

Today there is an interesting article in the Athletic about the increasing use of data analysis in football, and specifically in player recruitment - Explained: How data and analytics are changing how clubs approach transfers – and why Man United should sign Camavinga next One of the featured...

Tonight the U-23s play their second pre-season friendly when they host Eastbourne Borough at the Lancing training ground. I'm hopeful of a stream, but there has been no word yet from the club. Eastbourne Borough also don't seem to know:- 1416063293471563776

Over the past few days NSC has been running slow for me - on both my work PC and my home laptop. When I first open the site it is taking more than 30 seconds to load (I use a chrome browser on both machines). Browsing threads once I'm on the site isn't quite as slow as that, but it is certainly...

Just now there were 34,000 NSC users online with over 4,000 viewers of The Big Board. Is NSC suddenly very popular in Zambia? :shrug:

I posted this first part on another thread, but to give it more visibility.... Although Albion haven't made an announcement, they have extended the contracts of Leo Ostigard and Taylor Richards. I'm not absolutely certain, but I think the terminology "Extended" implies that an existing option...

So, with Premier League survival having been finally secured this evening, let's bin off this most frustrating of seasons and look forward to the broad, sunlit uplands of the 2021-22 season. And that will commence, of course, with the pre-season schedule. Worthing have already announced a...

Under-23s retained and released list confirmed Somewhat surprised that Danny Cashman and Stefan Vukoje have been released. It has already been mentioned on here that Gwargis was on his way, goalkeeper Roco Rees is surplus to requirements and you have to feel sorry for Kipras Kazukolovas who...

Congratulations to 2nd-year scholar Ed Turns who is one of six youngsters nominated for the PL2 March Player of the Month award - March's PL2 Player of the Month shortlist revealed For anyone wondering who the heck he is ---------------------> Albion 1st-year scholars for 2019-20

Albion U-18s are in action tonight as they head to Villa Park to take on Aston Villa in the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup (the most prestigious U-18 competition). The side will certainly be up for it, not least because their head coach, Mark Beard, is a previous winner of the competition with...

How it started:- 1221881862244749315 How it's going:- 1357718112599240706

I logged onto NSC this evening expecting there to already be a thread about this... The match was at 1:15pm my time today, and I was working; I watched it in the office, delayed, but even then I was somewhat distracted. So when I got home this evening I watched the whole thing again (well, you...
