    Palace make £7m loss in 2016

    Despite being in the FA Cup final and receiving £78 million in TV money (the Albion earned less than £6m in the Championship), our chums up the road still lost £140,000 a week last season. This would have been a much higher loss had it not been for the sales of Glenn Murray, Jack Hunt and Barry...

    alfredmizen/FREDBINNEY banned

    If people want to express their views about a dead politician that's fine by me. Wishing Shane Duffy a career ending injury because he doesn't share your views is wholly unacceptable. Ultimately this is an Albion fans' discussion board, I fail to see how anyone who claims to support the club...

    Booing Wood as he came off the pitch

    I can understand the Albion fans booing (halfheartedly) Bridcutt every time he touched the ball. The manner of his departure, when he downed tools and refused to play, was immature and unprofessional, no one begrudged him wanting to play in the Premier League. What surprised me was when the...

    Promotion Bonuses

    Tony Bloom is a ****ing great bloke, we know that already, and it's evidenced by him giving to all staff, from the tea lady up, bonuses should the Albion be promoted. How much is this going to cost him? To give some context, here is an excerpt from the accounts of Hull, who went up last...

    A reminder that you are responsible for what you post on NSC and tweet.

    There's been a bit of emotive stuff recently, and in the main NSC is an incredibly good self policing board. Having seen what has happened to the fragrant Katie Hopkins today, who has had to pay damages of £24,000 for two tweets, and legal costs that are likely to be very eye watering, can I...

    Big points gaps in the Championship for promotion

    ELEVEN points, ELEVEN points ahead with 19 games remaining? When was the last time did a pursuing team catch up with such a gap in the Championship? The answer is (sort of) last season. Boro were 8 points ahead of the Albion with a game in hand at the same stage, but by the end of the...

    Hove Born&Bred

    Being an attention seeking narcissist is one thing. Choosing to imply that the conditions at the Amex might result in the match being postponed again, and potentially resulting in fans choosing not to attend the match, is not 'a laugh' . The club could also lose out financially, less from...

    What's an appropriate sentence for a crime such as this?

    I'm not from the flog 'em, beat 'em, hang 'em school of thought as you know. However this behaviour seems off the scale in terms of its depravity and cruelty. Is this a reflection of a too liberal judicial system, an appropriate sentence for two people whose addictions have impacted upon...

    West Ham 'We've got Payet' T shirts

    Tried to get one of these collector's items from the West Ham store online and............ Whilst under normal circumstances I would probably give credit to any club standing up to a player/manager who was trying to engineer a way out simply to make money (and I included Palace here in...

    Albion v Man City 1979/80 footage at the Goldstone.

    Hats off to who dug this out, as brings back memories of one of our best performances of the first season in the top flight. I think it might settle the Lawrenson v Dunk debate too.

    Albion fan in coma after assault: Help needed

    Your ideal Albion themed Christmas present

    Having been lucky enough to play in a match at the Amex earlier this year, with Garry Nelson and Peter Ward, which was a dream come true, I was wondering about something vaguely Albion themed. The best I can think of is to play poker with Tony Bloom, just to see a master at this craft in...

    The NSC review of Albion accounts 2015/16

    Imagine having to write out a cheque for £93,284 on the first day of the year, waking up the following morning and doing the same, and going through that Groundhog Day experience for the full 366 days of the 2015/16 football season. That’s what Tony Bloom effectively did for the Albion last...

    [Albion] Cardiff match ratings

    Stockdale 6: Quiet afternoon, did all he needed to. Good distribution Bong 6: Linked well with Murphy, inventive going forward. A complete goon for the second yellow. Bruno 7.5: Masterful at times, not really troubled defensively and kept bombing up the wing. Dunk 6: Broke into their half a few...

    Lest we forget

    Remember the fallen. It would be nice if NSC could stop bickering for 24 hours too as a means of respect of those who have done something for us, as without them we wouldn't be here.

    Happy victory against Manchester United day.

    Great day, if a bit tasty in the North when we scored. 6 November 1982.
