If you entered the ballots for the various home games fans could go to - Southampton, Sheffield, Man City - and were unsuccessful in getting tickets each time, how much did you effectively end up paying for your 2020-21 season ticket?
20 years ago, almost to the day, 17th February 2001, we played away at Cheltenham, the infamous burger van on fire game. Good day out I recall, rather marred by losing 3-1 to a struggling team who played 70 minutes with 10 men. We were second in division 3, the bottom division, on our way to the...
... those who understand binary and those who don't.
Our last five league games 0-1, 1-0, 0-0, 1-0, 1-0.
Have to say I didn't see this coming under Potter, his only previous 1-0 was Norwich A. It's said the best managers builds from the back, and it's taken a while but what a defensive shape...
What happens to us as a team, when we play in a match that we really need to win, and we then embarass ourselves,like tonight. It has happened so many times over the years, and yet when we play sides like Spurs, Chelsea and Manchester United, we play above ourselves, and the luck is against us...
Those last 15 - 20 minutes, with the pressure we had on them, the Amex would have been rocking, would have been so so loud. Times like these our crowd really is an extra man, I think they're missing us :(
Even before last night's game I got thinking that the FA Cup for teams like us is just going to be season after season of getting knocked out by lower division teams, or by big 6 teams, with the odd decent run maybe 1 year in 10 or so. Every now and again one team might pull lightning out of the...
I'll admit that for the first time I'm wavering on Potter. A month or so back I'd have been happy to keep Potter whatever happened this season, but now, if he is taking us down I would want the change made. So much potential but these last four games was the time to get points on the board and...
I'm not sure what to make of being able to watch every away game now we're in the premier league - it's great to be able to see every Albion game but at the same time it means we see a lot more poor performances or games where we are under the cosh, which colours our opinion of the team.
I...
The time today that the commentators reminded us that Ben White played for Leeds last season.
I believe that's a record, I don't think any other commentators have waited as long as that to tell us.
.. with the reserves knocking United out of the cup for good measure. And fair play I say, it's good to dream and set your expectations high. I want that to.
But with these expectations firmly set, and put clear inability to achieve it at present, how do we go about it?
Buying a team is the...
Who do we think we'll see at right back first game of the season? At the end of last year we would have all penciled in Lamptey as our starting RB, and I think many still do, but the signing of Veltman throws it all up in the air. He was in the starting XI for the Chelsea friendly and doesn't...
Or more specifically, what's up with all our fans on twitter getting obsessed over the away kit? :moo: Every single post by the club on any subject at all is met with a barrage of comments demanding to see the away kit. All a bit weird really, I'm sure the club haven't forgotten that we need an...
First 1-0 of the season, and first time I've seen Potter properly shut up shop - he's adding strings to his bow! Got to be able to do that in the premier league.
MOM will be Lamptey because his pace and touch catches the eye, but the whole back 4 were excellent. Webster has really grown over...
Hamilton Academical have confirmed defender Jamie Hamilton will spend three days training with Brighton.
The centre-back, 17, has made 12 first-team appearances with Accies this season.
Former Hamilton manager Billy Reid is currently assistant at Premier League Brighton.
"Jamie will return to...
Watched the game on Saturday on a stream on my phone while walking my dog. Every now and again the signal gets weak, the stream freezes and I have to either wait for it to come back or refresh the page.
I kid you not that these were two exact moments when the stream froze, and I ended up...
This is a real interesting time for Potter and how he coaches the team from now to the end of the season. He's been building something good and there have been a more promising performances than bad ones. Whilst there are a lot of teams out there that are playing a game to survive, from...
I assume the ticket exchange must be open for the Villa game but I was surprised how few tickets are available, no pairs anywhere and no more than 10 singles in any block.
Honest question then, do people bother putting their tickets on the exchange if they can't go, or is it more hassle than...
