    [Albion] To Avoid Potter Bashing - The Staying Up Tracker - season 21-22 Final Update - 11 ABOVE

    So here we go again. Quick reminder for those who didn't follow this tracker in the last few seasons. The assumption is we need 40 points to stay up (we can argue that, and yes for several seasons the level has been lower but it has happened in the past and therefore I am sticking with it -...

    [Albion] Face masks must be worn at all times?

    Just read through the club guidance for tomorrow night and noticed that face masks must be worn at all times. I am pretty sure when I first read the info before buying the tickets it said you could take them off when seated. Did they change it or did I read it wrong the first time?

    [Albion] 19th August 2017 - the only time in the bottom three

    Pretty incredible that despite all the lack of this or that we still haven’t been in the bottom three since our second week in the Premier League. Incredible.

    [Misc] Are we obsessed with death? Time to have some positivity back on the board?

    I was amused and then slightly disturbed to see out of the top 10 threads today, half of them concern death, funeral plans, coffins, or RIP's threads. Is it time for some positivity and LIFE? The spring and then summer are coming, vaccinations are accelerating and Brighton are in the Premier...

    [Albion] Glasses/Spectacles and face masks at football

    I've posted this in other threads but I realise it needs it's own special place. Last night I spent the first 20 trying to sort out the constant fogging of my glasses and I see a number of people having similar issues. 1) I went for taking them off completely. I am not too blind so could still...

    [Albion] January Transfer Window

    Historically we have said we don't like the transfer window and generally don't buy anyone significant. However I wonder if part of our strategy is to wait until then. By then we may have a clearer idea of where football and finances sit, we may start to see crowds coming back and equally some...

    [Albion] Putting the offside flag up so late

    I understand the rationale of this but flippin eck it is annoying to watch. Surely if it is blatant the lino can get the flag up swifter? What is the point of them otherwise?
