We played our first EVER home game in the Second Division.

Fresh from a 9-0 mauling at Middlesbrough the previous week, we needed to bounce back, against...........................

Charlton Athletic

We restored some pride with a 2-2 draw, our goals coming from Denis Foreman and Dave Sexton

Nice one! I was not there. One question though....

Why is testing food at 10 O'Çlock a guarantee of quality?

A reminder to everyone that this great club, that we demand so much of, was loyally supported by tens of thousands of fans for 57 years without ever reaching the heights of second tier English football.

I was a loyal supporter. At three years of age I would have been told the result by my Dad on his return (R.I.P).

Yes and no. The club was Southern League Champions and beat football league champions - hence the Charity Shield trophy and were champions of England before the full national league started. Also the Albion are a regional club with a regional identity. Sussex CCC and the Albion. You are born into the Albion if Sussex. That is why it didnt matter the club would be n the 3rd or 4th division, they could still pull 30,000 for Rochdale. The club is very lucky with its support, its just never had a team to match it.

Soup Of The Evening
Lewis Carroll

Beautiful Soup, so rich and green,
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!
Beau - ootiful Soo - oop!
Beau - ootiful Soo - oop!
Soo - oop of the e - e - evening,
Beautiful, beautiful Soup!

Change words to Soup of the morning!?
