    Biggest catchment area - anyone know?

    I would say so regarding Kent -on the way from Hastings to Charing Cross for both semi finals, I was amazed at how many got on the train at T/Wells and Tonbridge. As to our catchment area, I recall reading that Brighton to Worthing is the 11th biggest conurbation in the UK with a population of...

    [News] Alabama carries out first nitrogen gas execution

    Had you thought that your comment could also be dumb? Whilst murders continue to happen of course, how do you know how many people considering murder might just have been put off by the thought of capital punishment? So it is hardly a fact, as it cannot be proven.

    [News] Hamas/Gaza/Israel

    Yes, the breath-taking hypocrisy of it all is staggering.

    [Albion] Bryan Gil

    Yes, I too was impressed when he came on and recall looking at the scoreboard for number 22, I think he was, to find out who was playing so well. Might well be worth a loan punt and give competition for the two currently away wingers.

    [Help] Notification to Beneficiaries of a UK Will ?

    I would move heaven and earth to send a letter and get it sent Recorded Delivery, so that you could demonstrate that you have done everything above board so to speak. Obviously I don't know the situation, but when money is involved, then it is best to be as careful as possible to protect...

    Hurst Green is on the A21 about 15 miles north of Hastings.

    [Albion] FA cup 4th round, Sheffield united

    As in the past I bow to your superior knowledge of the industry and enjoy reading your posts. But I do take issue with your last sentence and wonder if this is because you have here a vested interest - your own pay! Of course the fares go up regardless, but surely part of the reason would be to...

    [Albion] Season ticket update

    Though I have not any problems with getting into the Amex, I noticed 2 weeks ago or so that my phone showed April 2022 and up came in my wallet the 3 match season ticket from the autumn! The whole thing is certainly not infallible. In addition, I was limping for one of the matches prior to Xmas...

    [Football] FA Cup third round replays

    Yes, I am staggered at the sheer number of empty seats, even allowing for the cold and Tv coverage. Years ago, a reply at home to a PL equivalent side would have assured a huge crowd -how times have changed.

    [Albion] Reda Khedra... doing well 👍

    That doesn't totally surprise me - I was impressed with him at Championship level, when loaned out, and thought that we might have kept him.

    [Albion] Train Drivers Strike - Luton (a)

    But no one has said otherwise -of course they do. What annoys folk, quite understandably is when groups of workers who know they have industrial clout, use it continually to hike up their already generous pay. Train drivers have a responsible job, which should be adequately rewarded, but the...

    [Albion] REMINDER - Europa League tickets went on sale today....

    Fantastic support from the fans -I think that other tickets may be made available nearer the time, as the UEFA hangers-on finally say they are not interested. Bet they will be if we ever made Dublin and then regular fans will be forced out.

    [Football] Carabao Cup semi-finals

    Fulham were one of my favourite teams for years and it was always a good away match - nice pubs by the river and a great part of London -I always found their fans friendly and pleasant. But I was very disappointed with their tactics last season and even more so this time with the constant...

    [Albion] Joao Pedro Brazilian Maestro

    Yes, fully agree. he is going to be some player, but like you, I have noticed that at times his first touch can let his overall play down.

    [Humour] Could of and Should of: Who is to blame: The Poll

    When I used to mark A Level papers, it was staggering to see that there and their were perpetually being muddled ! It was a very frequent error.

    [Albion] Stoke City v Brighton & Hove Albion *** SCORE PREDICTOR ***

    I think it would be a disaster if a replay was needed -that team needs a rest even if it just for 5 to 7 days; having to then play a cup replay will negate any intended wish to give the players a winter break.

    [Albion] Brighton make move to sign Giannis Konstantelias...

    As I recall, Cyprus was governed by a government headed by Archbishop Mackarios, (spelling?) which was adjudged to be quite moderate. Then what was described as a gangster regime took over, and the Turks feared for the safety of the "Turkish Cypriots" living in the north, hence the invasion.

    [Albion] Why do so many of our fans think we are still a 'small club'?

    I think you do have a point here. During the very dark days, crowds at Gillingham and withdean were poor, compared to today. But during the Withdean years, I recall the Albion saying that they had a database of 20,000 fans. The majority of those fans might not have gone regularly to Withdean...

    [Albion] Jeremy Sarmiento [1/1/24 - Recalled from West Brom loan]

    Agreed -there are quite a few games but by the Wolves match, one assumes that a few will be returning, and we don't know if we will be in the second cup round!! You could well be right that RDZ simply does not rate him, which could well be the point -if he is not rated, then he presumably...
