[Albion] Explain Yourself

[worthingseagull]

Very boring I’m afraid. I used to sit in Block F when I had my season ticket in the West Stand at the dear old Goldstone.

That's not boring

 

[Official Old Man]

Cause I'm getting old. Except at 68 I don't think I'm as old as many others on here.
Bobble Hats. A red and a blue hat have been mentioned from the 70's on the East Stand. I may dig out some photos I took at that time from my position, half way line about 15 rows back, and see if any are visable.
My Avatar is the last picture of my late Daughter when she called me from Portugal.

 

[Questions]

I'm from a Welsh family and Gwylan is Welsh for seagull.

Simples (as I believe the young folk say)

I never knew that

 

[Questions]

From when I first started posting on NSC and there was an Orient supporting poster, banned long ago, called WATFORD O who was a bit of a WUM. I set up the account WATFORD 0 and started posting and WATFORD O got very excited, insisting his account had been hacked and it wasn't him. After about a week of this I got bored and got a mod to change mine to WATFORD zero.

Luckily I also managed to get a picture of @dwayne, a ginger black poster from that time to use as my profile pic.

Imagine getting hacked on here ?
The fun you could have.

 

[Questions]

I can’t remember why my name is what it is. I was Yossarian in a previous incantation

 

[put_that_board_down]

The guy at the Goldstone ground that used to carry a placard over his shoulder at half time obscuring his face, with the winning 'Goldstone Gamble' numbers written on it......cue a chorus of Brighton fans in the North Stand shouting at him 'Put that board down'!

My mate and I try to resurrect that chant every time someone walks round the perimeter carrying something. We thought no-one else remembered him!

 

[Kosh]

Kosh was a really cool mysterious, quasi mystical character from the awesome (LOTR in space) Babylon 5... He was a Vorlon and they wore an encounter suit (disguising their true form) which I thought was a splendid example of the allegory of nearly every NSC 'character' who visited the forum... I was about 14 when I first joined circa 96, so you can imagine I thought the whole projecting an image thing was multi layered in its complexity and (oh so) clever, akin to Mr Clever (he of the Mr Men) kind of a way... Not seeing the irony in that one little bit.

My original plan had been to say very little, but when I did say it, it would alter perception as people knew it... alas, Dave the Eagle wasn't really operating on that level... and being succinct isn't my forte... Thus Kosh remained and became more and more verbose with each overwrought missive.

Dare I say it ? as I've mellowed I've taken the opportunity to 're-connect' with my fellow NSC family, take stock - what started out as a fourth division TV character parody, ended with a near last 8 NSC legends 'type off' --- alas, I was never really cut out to be a winner, but by God you should see how white me teeth are... although I rather think my roll neck is cutting off the blood supply to my brain...

I remember this well, but think the language was often a bit spicier than that

 

[Right Back]

Played a lot of games at right back.

 

[Ludensian Gull]

A Ludensian is a name given to a person born in Louth Lincolnshire.

 

[Happy Exile]

I had a different username on NSC for a few years in the early 2000s but never posted and have no idea what that username was.

When I decided to start posting on the board and re-registered I couldn't think of a name, but shortly beforehand a fan I'd been chatting with at a game had described me as a "returning happy exile" when I told him I'd not been to many games from around 2008-2014 because of family stuff, but had been quite happy to focus on that family stuff so hadn't seen it as a burden. Happy Exile seemed fitting enough so I won't with that.

 

[Tim Edwards64]

It’s my name.

 

[RandyWanger]

First part is my name 2nd part is a funny play on my family name.

 

[PTC Gull]

Was a long time reader of NSC and then decided to join and happened to have moved to the Colonies. PTC is the local name for the place we moved to in Georgia USA. Have since moved to Texas and Florida but coincidentally I am writing this while we are back in PTC visiting friends.

 

[Screaming J]

If you know your early Rock and Roll(*) history, you'll be able to work out my real name.

(* Although I'm more into Soul, Disco, Jazz Funk, Northern, etc, etc.)

 

[Audax]

Always thought birds of prey are magnificent creatures. As a youngster I went with "Raptor" and variants of that in games, but as gaming moved online I rapidly found that name was commonly taken.

"Audax" is the second half of the latin name for the Australian Wedge-tailed Eagle (Aquila audax), so I'd begun using that (and variations) around the same time I registered here.

Anyone remember the raffle ticket seller (maybe same bloke) from the 70s? He used to shout 'Five for Ten, Ten for Five'. Never did work out if it was five tickets for 10p or 10 tickets for 5p.

 

[Ron Manager]

[kevo]

It’s my name.

Edwards64 is a strange surname.
