    [Travel] Amsterdam Travel Advice Please

    You need to change at Brussels and get separate tickets. Just looking: you can get the Eurostar there for £39 each, then use Trainline to book to Amsterdam for £23. So it should be about £62 each. Or if money is really tight, this train is about 14 euros but wouldn't leave until early evening -...

    [Albion] Ajax - Amsterdam

    If you have a choice between a house boat and a hotel around the station for similar prices, definitely go for the boat. The boats are usually way nicer and a cool experience.

    [Brighton] Breakfast in Hove/Shoreham

    "Vibey" – that distinct vibe being towie, 4x4 with private numberplates, deck shoes and no socks...

    [Football] L1 Playoff Final: Massive v Barnsley (ko 3pm(

    Fairly sure Wendy would have sacked him if they hadn’t gone up - or at least surpassed the semi-finals - so it’s a bit of a relief on that front. Nice fella although I still instantly think of him getting sent off with Ian Baird for their punch-up during the Goldstone finale.

    [Albion] Villa away theme / fancy dress

    Was thinking today that the RDZ uniform of black wool and skinnies with white trainers would be an idea. But some do it anyway and it could look terrible on beer guts

    [Albion] BHAFC saved my life

    Well played. Not to be in any way assumptive but I had what reads like some comparable situations before the last promotion season. It's a long and often tedious battle and has to be done one day at a time, but the Albion can help and sticking around is good – as is talking. On the MH side, if...

    [Albion] Everton: I left before HT

    You support the team. Whether they lose against Forest or batter Wolves, you show your support at the end. It’s not a conditional thing. Fair play if people have got places to be, but the half-empty North was embarrassing at full time.

    [Albion] Independent Football Ombudsman rules on Albion fan ban and loyalty points deduction

    I’ve got lucky and unlucky with my EF membership and I agree with their system because I don’t think that the people who can go all the time should always have complete first dibs. I’m a top-tier Albion thundertit largely because I happen to have flexible hours and no kids, which just makes me...

    [Albion] Independent Football Ombudsman rules on Albion fan ban and loyalty points deduction

    So returned tickets are made available only to those in the tier they sold out at? Could have Twickets-style email alerts available when tickets are returned

    [Albion] Independent Football Ombudsman rules on Albion fan ban and loyalty points deduction

    Yeah. Still feels navigable though, whether it’s people who know each other using the exchange and passing over the paper tickets or fans picking up duplicates at ticket offices, which I wouldn’t imagine would be a massive admin stretch for the number of tickets you’d be talking about. It feels...

    [Albion] Independent Football Ombudsman rules on Albion fan ban and loyalty points deduction

    It feels like the club will not engage with anything unless there is a profit to be made, even if it’s really bad PR and morally questionable. Sorry if this has been covered but surely the solution is an away ticket exchange providing that for them? No doubt this could be refined - I’m a dunce -...

    [Football] Are Middlesbrough the Brighton of the Championship?

    Boro were dire. Played like a team with nowt to play for. Rov are one of the stories of the season. Ended an eight-year run of yo-yoing despite losing one of their best managers ever, having probably the worst budget in the division and their best player departing injured during the first half...

    [Albion] Happy Birthday Dick Knight

    He got a good reception from the yoof the minute he walked through the entrance at Spurs. Rightly mobbed at games. Just need someone to produce an “I am the president of this f******* club” t-shirt

    [Albion] Why not bring on Steele for the shout out?

    This was worth a go. We’d have more chance with someone picked out of the crowd in goal for penalties. Before the game, it felt like a case of who would make fewer mistakes between Sanchez and De Gea. They both have appalling records on penalties, so it was obvious during extra time that a...

    [Albion] IF……Europe???

    This says that if Chelsea were to win the Champions League and Man United were to win the Europa League while both finishing outside the top four, fourth place would still qualify for the Champions League. Unless I'm being characteristically thick, the best you could say for sections of this...

    She is brilliant at a lot of things including straight-batting media questions with a granite 500-yard stare

    [Football] Going to Yeovil and Lewes made me realize

    Albion being brilliant to watch made up for it but the 'experience' yesterday was a drag and it made me look forward to supporting local non-league sides again even before the corrupt officiating. Ridiculous search policy and complete lack of common sense from stewards over where people were...

    [Albion] Attending games on your own

    Twenty-ish years now. It’s utterly soul-destroying but I’ve sort of properly convinced myself it’s fine over the years, so I guess that counts. Gets quite good for about half an hour when I have a drink and put my earphones in. Suppose it’s nice to be reminded there’s a world out there beyond...

    [Albion] FA Cup Semi-Final v Man Utd - 4:30pm, Sunday 23rd April

    At the Germany game in September, those of us who'd bought safe standing tickets weren't allowed to use the rail because, according to stewards, the local council hadn't given permission for it. I emailed the FA in the hope of getting the extra £20 I paid for the ticket back, got quite a...
