Last year we had a fans forum at the end of April - it appears to have been announced on April 12. (As it transpired, it took place a couple of days after that shambolic performance at Bournemouth).
So - will there be one this year?
As some on here will know, Shumaira Mheuka's younger brother Kutendah is (at the moment at least) still on Albion's books and is an U-14 this season. Our U-14s competed at the Algarve Cup last weekend and won the tournament, with Kutendah being named Forward of the Tournament and Cash Bradley...
When Harrison Reed came on as a sub for Fulham today it meant that there were four Sussex-born players on the pitch (with Albion's Webster, Hinshelwood and March). I think this is the sixth time (at least) that has happened; four of the other occasions also involved Fulham and Reed (with Dunk...
With spring training now underway it is time to fire up another baseball season thread.
I am quietly confident that the D'backs will make the post-season this year. The addition of Corbin Burnes (probably the best free agent starting pitcher on the market this off-season) should be huge - we...
For a week or more I have been unable to visit the Sussex County FA website at sussexfa.com
This is the message I get:
I have tried on both my work PC and my personal laptop at home, and across multiple different browsers - always the same result.
Just wondering if anyone else can access the...
1st-year scholars Freddie Simmonds and Harry Howell have been called up to the England U-17 squad for a double-header against the Netherlands in Portugal on February 20th and 23rd.
Goalkeeper Steven Hall is in the Australian U-20 squad for the AFC 2025 U-20 Asian Cup tournament that gets...
A shout-out for Josiah Kallicharan.
Josiah was briefly in the Albion academy (during his U-14 season of 2021-22). He attended Bede's School in Upper Dicker (the same school attended by Solly March and Harry Mills). He is now a student at Newman College (which I believe is the sixth form...
Usually when a player is unexpectedly not in the squad there is some reporting around it (illness, injury etc).
I haven't actually seen anything for Baleba and Ayari. Have I missed it?
Does anybody know what the reported attendance figure was?
None of the usual sources (BBC, PL website, Albion website) give the figure, as far as I can see.
I think today's match set a new record attendance in a match that Albion won - 73,758
The previous record was also at Old Trafford, on August 7 2022 when Albion beat United 2-1 (73,711).
Thanks Man Utd! :lol: :lol:
Albion U-18s begin their FA Youth Cup campaign on Monday evening as they travel to Newcastle United in a tough 3rd round fixture. The FA Youth Cup is the most prestigious U-18 competition. One of the main purposes when the competition was first introduced was to give youngsters the experience of...
I don't think Varndeanians have a website. They seem to write the teams on a white board (and occasionally tweet it out, although not consistently):-
Any chance an NSC'er in attendance tonight could take a photo of said board and post it on here? Would be appreciated.
This is the Woking line-up, featuring Tom Leahy who was in the Albion academy for his U-13 and U-14 seasons (and is the younger brother of Jack who was a scholar with the Seagulls).
Congratulations to Albion U-16 Jacob Parsons who has been called up to the England U-16 squad for matches against Ukraine, Israel and France coming up over the next week or so.
Jacob is a forward who has been in the academy all the way from U-9 level. He was a member of the successful Albion...
Albion have named 24 players in their PL squad - but that includes goalkeepers Tom McGill and Carl Rushworth who are out on loan.
Cam Peupion and Ed turns also pad the number.
Squad list here
This was mentioned by former Albion player Maheta Molango on a recent interview on the Price of Football podcast (co-hosted, of course, by our resident dullard). [For those unaware, Molango is now the Chief Executive of the Professional Footballers' Association].
The course has begun and our...
Did Fabian have a pre-Crawley press conference today? I haven't seen any reporting to suggest he did.
Do they not happen for Carabao Cup ties? Or is it because today was a Bank Holiday in the UK?
