    [Albion] Reasons To Be Cheerful - Sort Of!

    I thought I’d throw this little bit of statto stuff out there. As it stands we are on course for our second highest ever League position if we better our 9th spot of 2022. We have accumulated the second highest number of points in the PL (52) compared with 51 under Potter in 2022. And, with...

    [Help] Cushioned Sole Trainers

    I’ve just been to the doc’s as I’ve now ended up with an arthritic ankle due to wear and tear. Long story short he recommended that I wear cushioned soled trainers/shoes to minimise impact stress. So, has anyone suffered a similar problem and can anyone advise me on the most suitable brand for...

    [Albion] I’m Still In Shock

    Having had the misfortune to be at the City Ground last Saturday I’m still trying to come to terms with why and how everything could go so disastrously wrong. Okay, there have rumblings of discontent in previous games about our inability to shut out games when we’re winning or being unable to...

    [Football] Doing A Brighton!

    Rumour on t’internet is that Amorim went ballistic with the Man Utd players after their defeat to the Albion. Tables and chairs were flipped, big screen TV injured and the players told do shape up or f*** off. All down to us eh? How true all of this is we await to find out. :lolol:

    [Albion] How Many Teams Have You Seen The Albion Play Against?

    The object of the exercise is obviously in the title. With our history, going up and down the leagues, there will be a fair few. So, come up with your total but bear in mind that the matches must be competitive fixtures ( League/FA Cup/FL Cup/Europe) not friendlies. The second part is, in your...

    [Albion] Arriving Late For A Game

    A bit of information/advice please. My grandson is a season ticket holder in the West Upper. Next Saturday we play Wolves with a 3.00pm kickoff, he hopes to be able to make the game despite flying back from New York to Heathrow. His flight lands at around 11.30am. This cuts it fine time wise to...

    [Travel] Trains For Brentford Home Fixture 27/12

    I’m planning ahead for this game hoping, praying that Southern or whoever do not do the usual Yuletide disruption act. As it stands I can travel to/from on West Coastway to Brighton without any significant problem. Not possible from Southampton but I can drive to Chichester and train it to/from...

    [Music] A Bit Of Americana For Your Indulgence

    A little exercise here for you to have a go at. Come up with any songs that have the name of a U.S. state in the title or in the lyrics. The proviso being that you name the song and the artist(s) who performed it, and the line naming the state. A couple of examples to go on with : California...

    I’ve just checked the latest county cricket scores Leicestershire are batting, against Yorkshire, and after 12 overs are 15 for 7. Ouch! :ohmy:

    [Albion] That’ll do nicely!

    Three games in, two wins and one draw, seven points from nine and second in the table. Would anyone have predicted that a few weeks ago? I had misgivings about us getting anything at Everton - the Dyche syndrome would strike again. Man Utd and Arsenal, maybe a point for each game? But no, FAB...

    [Albion] It’s About Time, Time

    New season starting next week, joy of joys! So I’m getting my head in gear about how our fortunes must change for the better when playing certain teams. Here are a few examples of “it’s about time” : Actually stuff a team managed by Sean Dyche our nemesis - in this case Everton. Is it possible...

    Right, tomorrow at 9.00am is the big reveal - our fixture list for season 2024/25. So a little game of who is a lucky clever clogs by predicting our first opponents and whether we’re home or away. I’ll go with Leicester City (away). Over to you. :drink:

    [Albion] Your Three Must Go To Away Trips 2024/25

    Looking ahead, sans coach as it stands, to next season and which away day jollies take your fancy. For me the choice would be : Ipswich - never been to Portman Road so another ground to tick off. Everton - if they’re still in existence and if it’s completed their new gaff at Bramley Moore...

    [Albion] Well This Has Been A Rather Pleasant Weekend

    With no fixture for our glorious boys there was the horrible anticipation that we could drop down the table and end up just above those frightful oiks from South London. The Gods of football prevailed - not on our watch. So those around us in the league West Ham, Wolves, Bournemouth and Fulham...

    [Albion] Just Wishful Thinking?

    Having just watched the last few minutes, and read the subsequent comments, of Man City’s cup win against Chelsea I wonder if this will be the best time to play them? They looked absolutely knackered and no doubt suffering from their Champions League hangover. I know we have had a disappointing...

    [Albion] Away Ticket Allocation - Your Thoughts

    I recently had a discussion with an old friend of mine, who happens to be an Albion + member. The point of our chat was that he found it nigh on impossible to be able to get a ticket for an Albion away fixture. This, obviously down to him not being a season ticket holder and therefore way down...

    [Albion] Weird But Wonderful

    Has this ever happened before - that our club, or any other for that matter, have sold all tickets for a match weeks in advance, with no idea who the opponents are or what time the the match kicks off? Yes, of course I’m referring to our Europa League fixture to be played on the 14th of March...
