    [Music] Oasis - 2025

    £10 in Brighton in 1994, when I gave my ticket to a mate so I could go to the cinema with my girlfriend instead. I'm not 100% on what we went to see but it might have been Highlander III. Some regrets possibly in the handful of years after that...

    [Albion] Matt O Riley [26/08/24 - sings on a 5-year deal]

    It's not necessarily a broken bone - it could be ligaments. I tore ankle ligaments a few years ago and they were pinned back together in some way through surgery. I should probably know what they did but I remember the words "pin" and "stable" and I've got a couple of neat incision scars! Edit...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crawley Town *** Official Match Thread ***

    I get that on the atmosphere. Had a couple of moments wondering if I’d change seats with my season ticket next year just because I liked the “feel” of the North even tonight and imagine it must be incredible after a goal like Pedro’s on Saturday - not to say it isn’t great in WSU, it is, but I...

    [Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crawley Town *** Official Match Thread ***

    Weird feeling after that for the reasons others have already said, but I enjoyed my rare expedition from the WSU into the North…almost anarchic compared to my normal seat, in a very gentle, being quiet about it way (woman discretely sipping from a mini wine bottle very cautiously after checking...

    [Music] Reasonble punishment for anyone playing or singing a long with "Freed from Desire"?

    For a camera with the right angle there would have been a lovely shot of sad Man United players trudging off today with a pogo-ing North Stand in the background.

    [Albion] Chelsea Away 28th September

    Yep, I was only a couple of points short of tier 2 for this one. Like you I’ve often found that if tickets reach the tier I’m in before selling out I can bag a single by checking back regularly as the game gets closer, it’s definitely worth keeping an eye out.

    [Albion] Chelsea Away 28th September

    For anyone still trying, it's currently showing 14 tickets available across SU1 and SL1 but any attempts to buy get kicked back into the queue. Once that's happened a few times you get pushed all the way to the back of the queue and have to start again. I've tried phone, laptop, website and via...

    [Albion] Chelsea Away 28th September

    It’s a bit broken. I had a ticket in my basket a few minutes ago, kept getting “unknown error” when trying to pay and have now been put back in the queue with position two thousand and something.

    [Albion] Chelsea Away 28th September

    I logged in, got through the queue this morning and a few seats were available. Got kicked out back into the queue when I selected one and now it says sold out when I get in. Not sure what’s going on…

    [Albion] Fannying about at the back

    That's amazing. Many years ago I did a short term contract for a company where I ended up playing in the 5 a side team in matches against other companies on the trading estate. This was probably late 90s. One of the guys was clearly a multitude of levels above the rest of us, only 19 or 20 years...

    [Albion] Crawley tickets

    Same! Moving from the closed WSU to North for this one. Not been in there for quite a few years, looking forward to the different view. (My only 'this is a bit rubbish' position I've ever had in the Amex was the FA Cup game against Grimsby, West Lower at the north end by the corner flag so...

    [Albion] What's your equivalent of spending £100m in a week?

    Just been away for a few days with my 16 year old daughter and that certainly feels like I’ve spent £100m in a week.

    The morning teeth brush debate

    A lovely ex-girlfriend told me - and effectively demonstrated herself - that tongue scraping before sleep eradicated risk of morning breath. She'd also floss and use mouthwash before brushing which is apparently good practice though the inverse of what I was taught.

    [Football] Away Games Etiquette

    Nothing to add to what others have said except that I find getting to my seat earlier sometimes reduces the hassle of people taking "my" seat but generally it's not a problem regardless, and when people have done so they move if asked (in my personal experience). I was lucky to go to almost all...

    [News] Nigel Farage and Reform

    You do a huge disservice to working class people by saying they side with Farage and Reform. Reform performed worse than Labour and the Tories with working class people. Data shows the common trait among Reform voters is less about class but more that they are mostly male, over 50 years of age...
