    [Albion] Newcastle's slow ticket sales / new penalties for handing on tickets

    It seems the opposite to me: a whole lot of extra admin / expense for Newcastle Utd that they are choosing to undertake. Plus (as I understand it) if they are left with unsold tickets they still have to reimburse the home club for all the tickets they were allocated. So if these measures reduce...

    [Albion] Newcastle's slow ticket sales / new penalties for handing on tickets

    I suppose we should be surprised they view things as black or white.

    [Albion] 92nd to 1st in just 9,246 days

    Swansea City. Bottom of the heap in February 2003 and joint top of the PL after one game in August 2012. So it only took them around 3500 days.

    [Football] Luton's first home Premier League game postponed

    But despite being a relatively modern stadium, does stadium MK actually meet PL requirements? I remember we had to spend millions on the Amex when we went up, despite the stadium only being 6 years old.

    [Albion] Inigo Calderon

    No worries. He's definitely no bulls*itter. I'd recommend a follow, if you are on twitter as he (or she) posts a fair amount of Albion stuff. He attends a few of our matches too.

    [Albion] Inigo Calderon

    I'd guess the plan was for him to join a few months ago as per the original Tweet, but there was some hold-up. The Secret Scout is a very reliable source of information and is clearly privy to a fair amount of inside info, especially related to young players and Chelsea. I'd guess he's an...

    [Albion] Alex Scott

    Fantastic prospect. Although only 19 he has bags of first team experience. Pretty much a ready made Mac Allister replacement. Would take around £30m to get him, as every PL club will be interested, plus many in Europe. But could be worth every penny.

    [Albion] Introducing The Tunnel Club...

    By my reckoning, there are around 1800 such seats in the West stand middle tier, 400 west stand lower, 400 east stand and around 300 in the SW corner. Plus there are 21 boxes which seat 10, apart from one which seats 20. I think the Dugout is maybe another 40. Of course not all seats/boxes are...

    [Albion] Global Club Soccer Rankings

    Yeah. I think it's probably just a case of the model having quite a long tail when it comes to taking previous results into account and being a bit conservative when it comes to weighting more recent results and performances. Our SPIs would have been miles apart at the start of the season. I...

    [Sussex] Brighton Main Line 2 to be built?

    If you look at the TfSE document that this story is based on, it says that reopening a route from Lewes to Uckfield and Tonbridge Wells is an aspiration. This is about as vague and non-committal as you can get. This is really misleading reporting.

    [Albion] Mercurial, majestic, magnificent Mitoma [20/10/23: New deal signed]

    So he'd be overperforming if his wonder goal vs Leicester hadn't been cruelly disallowed.

    [Travel] Mill Road P&R Chaos

    I had Saturdays in my head when replying. Forgot it was Sunday and no shuttle usually timetabled (the b*st*rds). So just 8 coaches an hour to ferry all the shoppers / day trippers / supporters into Brighton from Hove onwards. Dismal, especially when you consider weekend demand is pretty much...

    [Travel] Mill Road P&R Chaos

    I'd suggest catching a London bound train and then switching to the Brighton/Hove shuttle at Hove. There's always plenty of room on that service and they always hold it if the London service is delayed.

    [Travel] Mill Road P&R Chaos

    The Greens had 3 councillors in Brighton and Hove after the 1999 elections. The stadium application was submitted in 2001. I am not sure the 45 Labour councillors at the time really had to worry about keeping the Greens "onside". The P&R sites don't exist simply to tick some sustainable...

    [Albion] Dick Knight stripped of BHAFC presidency for 10 games

    Here's the supporters charter. I'd say his behaviour falls into Category 2g which is minimum 5 match ban, and/or even Category 4g which is a minimum 1 year ban. Taking into account his position I cannot see how the club could not take any action if they expect the rest of us to behave better...

    [Albion] Dick Knight stripped of BHAFC presidency for 10 games

    "I have therefore accepted that I should step aside from my role as honorary life president for the next ten matches." "Accepted" as opposed to, say, "decided" suggests it was not solely his decision.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I think it's increasingly hard to see anything other than a catastrophic defeat for Russian armed forces as long as Putin is at the helm. They have lost a vast amount of armour, equivalent to the size of several western armies combined. The website Oryx has documented almost 6500 pieces of...
