Interesting to gauge how fans feel about our recent managers. I've used the word "fondness" in the question because it covers a lot of ground. I guess you can base your answer on a number of factors, including the results they achieved, their attitude to the job, the manner in which they left...

Yes, we all loved the day we got promoted to the Premier League and it was amazing to beat Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool. The Doncaster Rovers game was epic too. But what are the lesser Amex moments deserve a place in a kind of secondary hall of fame? Three from me: - Vicente hitting the bar...

Afternoon all. If anyone happens to have found any Airpods before, during or after last night's game in the vicinity of the Brighton section there's a good chance they belong to my 16-year-old daughter. She was behind the goal, a few rows back. It would be brilliant if someone has got them as...

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/nov/30/hastings-small-boat-arrivals-tensions-east-sussex-town Well done to those who man the lifeboats to help people crossing the Channel to escape the kind of lives that most of us couldn't begin to imagine. And well done to the people of Hastings who...

I understand the business model: charge next to nothing for the printer hardware, then inflate the prices of the ink. I've just paid £300 for two sets of HP ink (admittedly XL) for the printers I use at home and in the office I work in. That strikes me as a very silly amount of money (and it...

IF ... and I repeat IF we sneak a win at Selhurst tomorrow ... ... would that make Brighton the only team to have occupied 1st and 92nd positions in the top four league structure? The only other club I can think of that might have done this before would be Swansea, who certainly topped the old...

Wife is keen on a folding bike so she can reduce her carbon footprint and start getting the train to work. Budget up to £400. Does anyone have any recommendations? Appreciate that this is not going to get us anything with high spec, but it would be nice to avoid something that others have found...

... following various commentators implying that migrants should be left to drown in the Channel rather than rescued. If you feel it's worth giving a fiver to support a very worthwhile cause, and to let Farage and his acolytes know that your views on humanity differ from his, it's quite simple...

We've had three season tickets in the family stand since the Amex opened. Originally they were for me and two sons. A few years ago, eldest son lost interest and his ticket was transferred to my wife's name. Club was happy to oblige. Obviously we paid a bit more. In recent years, middle son...

I have a long list of players that I got quite excited about when they first arrived at Brighton but for whatever reason, they didn't exactly go on to become Albion legends. I'll start with Matt Wicks. I seem to remember him playing brilliantly for us when he first arrived on loan at Withdean...

Viva Lewes and Viva Brighton have been closed due to the coronavirus. Really sad news. Viva Lewes in particular is a fantastic example of an independent magazine that really reflected the community it served. Good journalism and lovely covers too. Magazines like these need to be supported...

Seems the Lewes MP's rather unpleasant Twitter career may be at an end: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/may/14/labour-urges-tory-mps-to-admit-keir-starmer-video-was-doctored

I've just finished it. It's a novel about a gay footballer at a lower-league club and the relationship that he tries to conceal from team-mates, family members etc. It's had pretty good reviews. The footballer plays for a team referred to only as "Town" but all the other teams that crop up in...

Looking at options from getting from Piccadilly to the ground tomorrow. My plan is to get the tram to Salford Quays and walk across the bridge. Anyone got any good advice about the best way of doing this journey (and the return trip to the station)? Is the train a better option, or is there a...

I can't make up my mind. Is it: (a) Set off a very loud pyrotechnic at the precise moment that your own player is taking a corner kick? (2017) (b) At 3-0 down, against a 10-man Brighton side, refuse to give the ball back from the stands? (2018) (c) Start fighting among yourselves? (2018...

Anybody got plans to watch one of our local sides on Saturday? I might check out Eastbourne Borough v Torquay United. Admission £5 with a Brighton season ticket. :thumbsup:

I couldn't hear that much from Bournemouth from my family stand seat (except after both equalisers) but at one point I thought I heard "Champions of Dorset, you'll never sing that". Did I imagine it? If it actually happened, it was quite amusing.

Forgot about this until just now and don't think I've seen it on any other thread about the Burnley game. Knocky seems agitated and emotional this season but I don't recall him mouthing off at our own fans at any point. But that seemed to happen yesterday in the first half on three occasions –...

Anyone else hear the interview with Sir Des on Radio 4's Today programme this morning? Still as sharp and witty as ever, talking about his role as the show's first-ever sports presenter and how it led to his TV career. He was asked his sporting highlight of the past 60 years and the response...
