Think I will. Good idea.

The Southern League Championships we won in the 1920s (1921 & 1927) were won by the Reserves.
Indeed Brighton and Leicester are the only teams to have won it without ever having won the league or the FA Cup.
You know we won the Southern League in 1910, which allowed us to participate in the 1910 Charity Shield...?
Did you also know that Brighton & Hove Albion Reserves also won the Southern League in 1920-21 and again in 1926-27?
The league was split into sections. In 1921, Brighton Reserves won the English Section and beat Barry, the Welsh Champions 2-1 to claim the title. In 1927, Brighton Reserves won the Eastern Section and beat the Western Section champions 4-0 to be winners again.
The history they taught when I was at school was evidently RUBBISH.

Don't you mean the Eastern Section?

Call yourself an Albion fan ffs! That is disgraceful not knowing that. ('the botty' is 100% serious on this one) UNBELIEVABLE!
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.
Do you really think he didn't know that?
:thud:
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.
