Okay despite what has happened I'm still surprisingly in a good mood...

5 years ago we played Stockport County to ensure League One survival on the last day.

3 years ago we moved from an athletics track we did not own to one of the best stadias in the country.

This year we have finished in the play-offs for the second successive season despite selling our, arguably, two best players in January and not finding suitable replacements.

The future also looks good with Albion moving from Sussex Uni facilities to a state-of-the-art training ground.

Okay so we have not had much stability with management - whether OG goes or not (I hope he does not) - but we have come a long way in 5 years from almost League Two contenders to chasing Premier League promotion, not many teams can achieve that feat in a short space of time.

It is fair to say that there is rarely a dull day being an Albion fan and I would not change it for the world!


Oh and we have a team with a terrace next season - happy days! :albion2:

You have to imagine that, after spending years training on the crappy university pitches and kitting up in what's effectively a school changing room, the players are going to be absolutely bouncing at the prospect of coming back in June/July to one of the best training facilities in the country.

Give them a good long break, sort out the manager early on, and there's actually every reason to be incredibly optimistic.

Is the traing facility going to be finished for the pre season?
Amazing how quickly things can get built these days!

That's good to hear! Like you said, these players have no doubt been at quality training facilities at other clubs they have played for, no doubt a negative for our teams morale.

Hopefully this will also bring in some class talent too in the transfer market.
