[Albion] David Gold vs TB (and other fun sightings)

[Icy Gull]

Is that anywhere near Letsbee Avenue?

Very good

Delia lives in the same road

No occurrences of mistaken identity but I once met Ian Brown (a hero of my Stone Roses obsessed youth). Unfortunately I was so banjoed that all I could do was squeek and offer my little finger as a handshake. I know the cliche is never meet your idols but I think that night it was more a case of never meet your fans....

I had a night on the piss with Ian Browns father in law in Cambodia last year. Bloody nice bloke he was too.

In one car journey tonight I’m pretty sure I saw the talented mr Potter and our once rumoured potential owner mr David Gold, some 15 miles apart.

The former was being dropped off outside the salt rooms in town (accuracy of sighting rating 75%), the latter was having a nice meal in Hurstpierpoint (accuracy of sighting rating 100%).

The potential sighting of Potter was a momentary excitement.

The definite sighting of gold was thought provoking.

He arrived in one hell of a blinged up rolls, monogrammed upholstery, driver (who waited in the car obviously) and proper look at me number plates.

Got me thinking that once upon a pre-TB era, some thought Gold would be the answer to getting the Amex built and taking the Albion forward, as he is known to live in GOSBTS.

This has only strengthened my feelings that we are wildly fortunate to have a billionaire chairman who takes the train to away games, who is clearly a fan and who has married business acumen with fan values (most of the time).

Here’s a photo to prove that my waffle is not entirely b******s!

That’s not his only car. He’s using this one today for the open gardens....
