    [News] VE Day - 80th anniversary - 8/5/25

    I'm not a great follower of the various events marking the First and Second World wars - however, it strikes me that this year's VE Day celebrations may be slightly different. Now it's clear that we're on the same side as Germany, and the US is basically an enemy. How will this play out on 8th May?

    [Albion] Ten games in - our new players

    I've been lucky enough to see 6 of our first 10 (United, Ipswich and Wolves at home, Arsenal, Newcastle and Liverpool away). So - some ups and downs! But mainly "ups", even in the one defeat. We all got very excited by the number (and potential quality) of the new signings this summer. It is...

    [Albion] Arsenal v BHAFC (WSL) - 8th November

    We're doing a family outing to this one - WSL match at The Emirates. It's unfortunately been moved to the Friday evening (ko 7pm), but if you're in London it may be worth a watch - we have a very small allocation (400 seats, I think), and only about 100 have been sold so far. However, it seems...

    [Albion] Daily Mail apology

    Just seen this on the official site (my apologies if it's fixtures): The club can confirm that the following clarification and correction appeared in today’s Daily Mail (4 October 2024). ‘An article in Saturday’s paper said that Brighton & Hove Albion FC owner Tony Bloom invited Sir Keir...

    [Albion] Chelsea at home - kick-off time?

    Anyone know when this will be confirmed? My understanding is that the TV companies need to give 5 weeks' notice (which basically means the deadline is tomorrow). Or have I missed the TV picks for that weekend?

    [Albion] "Application error"?

    Anyone getting this error message when trying to login to buy tickets on the official club site?

    [Albion] Marseille perspective

    Just had a quick read through the match thread on the OM equivalent of NSC. Obviously their message board is huge (125k members), but reassuring to see the similarities (!)....the thread consists almost entirely of posts bemoaning their players/team/manager. After the match it moves on to...

    [Albion] Forgot ticket!!

    Someone I know* has forgotten their ticket for today’s match. They are well on their way to Nottingham, so no possibility of going home to pick it up. They’ve spoken to the Forest ticket office, who have told them to contact BHAFC ticket office - but that’s closed. Has anyone else had problems...

    [Albion] Thoroughly heart-warming evening

    Occasionally I get a little concerned that the commercial beast BHAFC is nowadays means the club will lose the personal touch we all cherish. However, based on my experience yesterday evening, I needn’t worry. Quick background: the daughter of one of my nieces contracted leukaemia 18 months...

    [Albion] Amsterdam welcomes decline of nuisance tourism after ‘stay away’ drive

    Article in today's Guardian - piccies and interviews obviously from Thursday, but journalist seems to have slightly missed the fact that the Brits from Brighton were there for the football...

    [Albion] Ticket Collection details - Ajax

    For the Marseille match I received an email with detailed instructions of where to go, etc - plus a ticket collection number. I haven't received anything this time - not sure if others have....?

    [NSC] 20 years on NSC

    Just happened to notice that I joined NSC 20 years ago today....sad (or happy) to say that it's played a moderately important part in my life over that period!! Of course, countless hours have been frittered away, but on occasion it has been a truly amazing resource. In particular, throughout...

    [Football] Champions League draw

    I see Newcastle are drawn in the same group as PSG, Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan. Possibility of them finishing third and clogging up the Europa League?? Or, hopefully, finishing last. But I guess the Geordies can look forward to some great nights at St James' Park.

    [Albion] It worked out fine in the end!

    After Spurs I was thinking - sh1t...this season's going to be cruel. Fixture congestion, loads of tough matches to come, Liverpool getting their act together. And then injuries: Solly, Webster, Ferguson, Veltman, Lallana (again). But amazingly RDZ guided us through it. Juggled the pack, coped...

    [Albion] Is this our best EVER season?

    122 years of history (53 of which I've been an Albion fan). We will almost certainly have our highest ever league finish. Plus an FA Cup semi-Final. Plus a World Cup winner. Plus the best football we have ever played. Plus a squad with more exciting youngsters than ever before. Plus a truly...

    [Albion] Newcastle, Man Utd and Man City* games....

    *not wanting to count chickens (or haddock) Just looking at the fixture calendar, assuming Man City and Man Utd both reach the quarter finals of the CL and EL respectively, I think it's impossible to play either team in April. European dates are 11/12/13 and 18/19/20 April. The only other free...
