[Albion] Stand or Fall Documentary

[pearl]

I walked past the DOYs earlier, it's all done up BHA Stand or Fall.

Have a great evening

When do us plebs get to see it?

 

[Skaville]

When and where is it on general release?

 

[Another Berkshire Seagull]

Heard Dick Knight had a nasty fall down the stairs at the event tonight. Hope he makes a speedy recovery!

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Any reviews of the movie available from those who attended?

More importantly, any update available on Dick Knight's condition following his nasty fall down the stairs at the event as reported above?

There was no mention of that. The version that was screened wasn’t the finished article, it still needs a fair bit of editing.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Wait, it’s still not finished?

 

[Cotton Socks]

There was no mention of that. The version that was screened wasn’t the finished article, it still needs a fair bit of editing.

So they've premiered an unfinished film?

 

[Greg Bobkin]

There was no mention of that. The version that was screened wasn’t the finished article, it still needs a fair bit of editing.

I don't know whether to or

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

It’s not the worse idea, if people don’t like it, claim it’s not finished, take note Warner Brothers

He will have time to recover Barber will ban him for another five games

 

[Lenny Rider]

Left Dick in A and E around 11.15 in good spirits, waiting for an update


And before the flaming starts I didn’t abandon him his daughter came and relieved me

 

[bhafc99]

…his daughter came and relieved me

 

[Lenny Rider]

Exactly, this is like a Carry On Flm.

 

[jcdenton08]

Very sad to hear about Dick, hope he makes a speedy recovery. Club legend - ie without him we very possibly wouldn’t have a club. To be honest, think this story deserves its own thread, but I’m sure Dick would be mortified!

Despite some finishing touches still to be made (timecodes and watermarks on some elements) the film was exceptional. It focuses on more recent years and does this very well; there's the odd bit about earlier times but I think rightly focuses on things principally from when the unholy trio were in place.

I must take issue though with the cleanliness of the Duke of Yorks - there were various times during the film when clearly dust or something came through the air conditioning, as I found my eyes (ahem) watering at key points. Due to dust. Obviously.

Should be some coverage on local TV news this evening (from 6:30-ish) as the BBC South East sports reporter James Dunn was filming an interview with Tony Bloom in the upstairs bar. Johnny Cantor was also chatting with Bloom. Barber was also up in that bar but didn't see him being interviewed (other than the onstage chat with Glenn Murray and Matt Lorenzo).

A nice touch was the special BHA scarf on each seat, and the cheese popcorn was incredible. Sounds an odd idea but worked so well!!

All in all a lovely evening, and hopefully the final edits are being done so everyone can see it.

PS Just seen about Dick Knight - awful to hear this and wondered why I didn't see him there. When did he fall? And was it the stairs down to the gents? They seemed a bit iffy...

How recent does it reach? RDZ era? Also, length? Thank you

How recent does it reach? RDZ era? Also, length? Thank you

I'd had a few at Unbarred (including the spectacular Interstellar Pannettone!) before heading in to the DoY so can't be certain on length but I think it must be around 90 minutes...felt like that. It certainly does cover the RDZ era, and includes interview clips with him specifically for the film.

Edit: just looked it up and it IS 90 minutes.

The irony of DK taking a tumble at Stand or Fall. Get well soon Dick.

 

[ROSM]

The film is a balanced and not overly self indulgent look at the last 28 years. Would I have liked more on falmer for all, seagulls party, bring home the albion etc? Possibly but that would have meant a film longer than Ben Hur and maybe a TV series like the world at war.

Dick, Tony, Roberto, PBOBE, Martin Perry, Steve Gritt and the fans all come out of it superbly. Belotti, Archer, Stanley all get the slagging off they deserve (and its shocking just how after all this time just seeing and hearing them make my ears fizz, blood boil and cause irrational body tiks).

Poyet, Potter, Hughton, Oscar and Hyppia all get a fair and balanced reflection.

And yes, I too had lots of occasions where I needed to wipe my eyes. Shoreham air show incident being one.

One thing that did surprise me (it shouldnt) but even though I was close to it at the time I had lost sight of just how close the original designs and illustrations and computer generated fly through of the amex, is to what was built and delivered.

I would say it is a love letter to all who fought to get the club from where it was in the 90s to where it is now
