On the physical contact front, as well as memories of most of the mentions in this thread, seem to remember in the days of muddy pitches the rest of the team would come off with kit looking dirty and he would walk off with his kit looking as clean as when he had entered the pitch.

Looking at the three clubs that finished above the relegation zone since season 2011, and their league position the following season. Over this four season period 5 of the 12 clubs involved went on to be relegated the next season, and maybe not too surprisingly none went on to be promoted. The...

First Choice or Thompsons (part of the same group) offer good all inclusive holidays and have a choice to suite taste, budget, age grouping and do the chill type ones as well as other styles. Certainly worth looking at their web site, or getting the various brochures from their shops.

Echo the sentiment of others for the Mike Bamber years at the club - the glory years indeed and yes what a privilege to have been around to have experienced it. A man who dared believe that anything was possible for Brighton and Hove Albion.

Looking to sign Rhodes?

Worth to remember the reason the club is putting an emphasis on the development squad is to spot the quality players before they become known. It is far more beneficial to us at the moment to spot the young Sidwells coming through than trying to get the older Sidwells once they have made it at...

Always enjoy looking at and reading this fast becoming very regular feature. Thank you.

Glad someone mentioned Les Kellett pure comedy. There was also a skinny young teenager on the ITV Kent Walton days of wrestling called Young David. He became one of the few to make it onto the American circuit very much bulked up as British Bulldog Davey Boy Smith.

That was of course the Brian Clough factor that drew the crowds in, and for some reason the crowds always seemed better mid week at that time, unlike the Amex today. Seem to remember the next match was another home thrashing when Bristol Rovers got 8 past us. The only good point about this...

Going back in time - coming down from Cheshireland for the play-off final at Cardiff I was amazed just how many Albion supporting cars were on the M5 from the M6 downwards and the service stations were also full of Albion fans. On the way back along the M5 it seemed that every other car had...

Great season and a great match - still my most memorable away match and the start of a very special period football wise in the history of BHAFC.

Well done SDU keep up the good work in Aussie land. If that was over here at the moment the BBQ would just be washed out rather than being able to be washed down with some beers!

Sheffield Wednesday :lolol:

With you on this one - we took two (or was it three) football special trains for this mid week game. Amazing match Wardy and Mellor running wins around a very good WBA team.

We had clackers at one of the last matches at Withdean with hardly a comment and not a peep in public from Gus. Just goes to show another year, another match and more importantly another result!

Your three points are very valid ones and will very much influence how we do this season. A top 11 position, where we will hopefully always have a bit of a shout at the play-offs would be okay all things considering. Of course repeat a top 6 finish again and that would be a real bonus.

Similar to you but only travel by coach - then took me to which railway station and would not let me carry on past that question as I had not put down a station - gave up in the end.

Very good service, run by Albion fans, price is comparable with other forms of transport from my experience travelling from the Hastings/Battle area, especially if buying a travel season ticket. Coach travel may not be everyone's choice but probably the most hassle free way of getting to and...

A asked them. Santa can only influences games around Christmas and the tooth fairy said she would leave a £1 under the pillow if we win. As for the Easter Bunny Braders, as you will know he is still far too sick from all that Chocolate - to be able to make any sensible comment!

Reminds me of the black cat on the pitch at our game at Preston a few years back - probably performed better than most of the team that day!
