Think I will. Good idea.
To be fair, I am sure the club ARE aware of this and the Collectors & Historians Society will be as well.
No harm in mentioning it though.

Is that a reason for them not to appear in the honours' list?
That's like saying that those Sussex Senior Cups won with too many reserve players should also be forgotten.

Not so; in 1950 it was won by the World Cup Team, who
beat the Canadian Touring Team 4-2!

Call yourself an Albion fan ffs! That is disgraceful not knowing that. ('the botty' is 100% serious on this one) UNBELIEVABLE!

We have to have a copy of the Charity Shield displayed in the Flamer trophy cabinet and I will be doing a one-man crusade if it doesn't happen.
Early history brilliantly covered in my view in 'Albion' by John Vinocombe, a predecessor to Naylor the Stoke fan on the Ar Argus. Originally published late 70s, the detail of early Albion is staggering - real labour of love. Anyone new or nearly new who hasn't seen it - visit library immediately.
Even more brilliantly covered by Tim Carder's book

Get with it, Hiney! He's obviously making fun of Ben's Grandad's post #3, with good reason.

Please explain why he should be making fun at me when as I suggested I would think that every BHA fan knows we won the Charity Shield in 1910. I must missing something here or being a bit slow.

Possibly. If TLO had started this post with "We know" or "You all know", instead of just "You know", would that have made it so much clearer for you?

The thread title said he didnt know so I was beinga little facetious.
Nottseagull

The thread title didn't state what he didn't know, so we were left with the daunting task of ascertaining just what it was from his first post. But tell me, do you honestly think it is conceivable that a supporter with 27,000 posts wouldn't know what the club's first national honour was?
And if you were being facetious as you now claim, could you specify exactly where?

Oh my giddy bloody Auntie's hell.
Of course I knew about the 1910 Charity Shield win - it's the type of fact you need to learn which part of a kind of rites of passage everyone has to go through in order to call yourself a Brighton fan. In mentioning that, I was merely setting the scene for the fact that the competition we won in order to participate in the said match, we won again in 1921 and 1927.
The latter fact was the one I didn't know.
Awlright?
