    [Music] AC/DC Wembley July 2024

    Two dates Wednesday 3rd and Sunday 7th, tickets on general sale tomorrow. Will they put an extra date on between? Or is it more about resting Brian Johnson's voice, he is 76 years old after all?

    [Politics] Harbingers of Doom?

    At 59, with one grandchild here and another one on the way in less than 2 months, coming across things like this on the internet is a tad worrying. I appreciate social media has created a broadchurch of opinions, and the internet effectively gives every crank who can use a computer a platform...

    [News] Perhaps another contentious RIP thread but Albion related.

    Geoff Clark, presenter of the infamous Meridian TV “Goodbye Goldstone” in 1997. For the people present that day at the old Southern/TVS/Meridian studios in Southampton not quite what we expected. It had all the makings of classic TV, Mr and Mrs Belotti present, along with shifty Paul Scally...

    [Albion] Dahoud "In the end it just didn't work out"

    Joins that band of Albion players for whom it didn't pan put how it was hoped. Mickey Thomas and Jason Peake another two names from yesteryear whose Albion careers are not that well remembered. Any others? (of course there are :))

    [Albion] Stavros from The Seagull Specials 1970/80's

    I don't know why, but in the middle of the night, Stavros who used to work for the club and help run the 'Seagull Specials' suddenly came into my head. Nicknamed after the much loved member of the Kojak detective series, I think his real name was Tony and he lived in West Worthing. Does anyone...

    [Albion] Sorry Lawro your time is up…..

    Joao Pedro is the greatest player to ever pull on an Albion shirt ⚽️ Within 5 years he will be lauded as truly ’World Class’, something which Lawrenson was robbed of due to injury.

    [Drinking] Long term investment in Malt Whiskey

    Had it pitched to me this week as a bit of a left field long term investment. The ’sales executive’ says over 5 years the yield could be between 5 and 10% annually. (On the flip side he’s a good lad who’ve I known for most of his life and he’s trustworthy) Anyone else on here been pitched...

    [Albion] Teargas Gate 36 hours on

    Apologies if fixtures. I hope everyone involved is okay, it was pretty distressing even for a cynical old git like me to see Albion fans young and old in that situation. On reflection the thing I’m struggling to get my head round is that clearly this wouldn’t have been the first time the...

    [Drinking] Obviously not a cheap date.........

    [Albion] How many players have appeared in an Albion shirt in competitive fixture?

    I only ask because Guy Butters mentioned the other day it turns out he’s the 575th player, two behind Gazza, to make their Tottenham debut out of the current total of 879 Spurs players. Will ours be considerably less as they are 20 years older than us, or about the same due to the higher...

    [News] Dave Courtney

    It appears that the celebrity gangster has sadly taken his own life. Obviously not everybody’s cup of tea but another sad statistic of the Mental Health epidemic in this country. 😞 There’s a touch of marmite about all of us, but I’ve met him a couple of times and he certainly was a character...

    [Albion] Happy birthday Attilla

    66 years young……… Apologies if some NSCers deem this a bit overindulgent, but Attilla (John) typifies/encapsulates the battle we fought and won for our club, a victory that without we simply wouldn’t be where we are today, travelling to play the best team in Europe, if not the planet, arguably...

    [Albion] Gerry Ryan in the Albion all time top 50?

    At this sad time. something a tad more positive. Talking to a senior club figure yesterday who stated he thought Gerry Ryan would comfortably be in the Albion top 50 of all time, to which I agreed, but elsewhere on this forum, my learned friend One Teddy Maybank has questioned this? So is or...

    [Albion] RIP Gerry Ryan

    Just taken a call from Liam Brady and he’s asked me to post on here so it’s my sad duty to inform NSC that we’ve lost one of our Albion family today, Gerry Ryan sadly passed away in a hospice in Southern Ireland around 4.30. One of the integral members of the 1983 FA Cup squad he later returned...
