    [Misc] The Award-winning official "More Snow Tomorrow?" Thread [2024-25 Season]

    Uckfield Flood & Weather facebook page went into overdrive Saturday- No, I’m not mad, I just got the kids to confirm… Went outside with my head torch and there were very small snowflakes in the air! Alegedly, a couple of snowflakes fell to earth. Even my wife said she thought she saw one. This...

    [Albion] Todays women’s game

    TBT I'm not dissing the Ladies teams nor Ladies football as a whole. I'd love to see it grow. My Granddaughter loves it and I've taken her to many games. I'll be first in the queue for Euro games for the Albion Ladies. It was just that going to Crawley as I do, seeing the costs of putting on a...

    [Albion] Todays women’s game

    It is a serious question though. TB could pump half a £billion in to the mens set up next year and sell for £1billion. But the ladies have no assets. No ground, no £million players (not even our England internationals). You invest in something that one day will make a profit. This is not to say...

    [Albion] Todays women’s game

    So here is a serious question regarding the Brighton Ladies. Does it make money? Crowd today of what, 5K to 8K paying an average of £10, if that. Crawley attendance is a lot lot less. A little TV money, but not the £millions of the EPL. Wages may be a lot less than Dunk and others, but they...

    [Brighton] Old Brighton Postcard

    [Albion] Stand or Fall

    I may have got this wrong, but didn't the change and dropping of 'community stadium' come about because of Europe and sponsorship. We had to drop the American Express name but at the same time those signs emerged hanging off the roof. Or was it the Ladies Euros? Or the Rugby? One of those.

    [News] Typhoo Tea may go bust!

    OK, so I should come clean here, I hate tea! In my 69 years I've only ever sipped it a couple of times. Whilst visiting houses I've twice poured it down the drain, once in a garden and yes, once in a flowerpot indoors. I can taste tea if someone shares a spoon stirring tea then my coffee. You're...

    [News] Typhoo Tea may go bust!

    Called in the administrators. My question surely is, how can a company making a product that everybody (well a vast majority) wants, not make a profit? They say something about a break-in at their factory, which they cant talk about. Guess it's an ongoing legal case. But do they not have...

    [Football] David Coote

    This. I hope he is with someone who cares and is looking after him. His world is about to crumble around him, he needs friends. Last thing he probably needs is The Sun reporter having him locked 'safely' away in a hotel room.

    [Albion] New proposed fan zone

    Anyone who saw the poppy on Saturday, being held up in the East, may also have noticed that the back wall of the East Upper has changed colour. Since opening it was a dull cream but over the past few weeks it has changed to blue and white to match the North East corner wall.

    [Albion] Demand for away tickets

    Nothing at all but it never occured to me how cheap and easy to use they are. Paris to Barca and Barca to Madrid only last month following our €30 Lille to Marseille trip. As mentioned elsewhere, Spain have opened up the Barca/Madrid high speed line to Ouigo who charge €9. Eurostar should do the...

    [Albion] To Avoid Hürzeler Bashing - The Staying Up and Europe Tracker - season 2024-25 Game 11 Update

    With a guaranteed 8 games, plus 2 more if we beat the lower seeded teams, bring on the UCL. But let's avoid relegation first.

    [Albion] Demand for away tickets

    Things I'd never dream of doing in life, until 2023 1/ An EasyJet flight. You're kidding me, cramped in that small plane. 2/ An EasyJet holiday. What! Give me the Caribbean twice a year. 3/ French trains. 4/ Two nights in Amsterdam. I've done 1 & 3 twice more in the past 8 weeks and plan on an...

    [Albion] Demand for away tickets

    Just a hint, but I done Athens & Rome as Easyjet 5 day holidays. They turned out cheaper and easier to book than the rush for flights & trains. At least that's what the wife told me. THAT'S IT, NO MORE EURO CHAT.

    [Albion] Demand for away tickets

    Cant remember how far down the chain away Euro tickets sold out last season, but there will be a lot more games in future. To start with, all tournaments have 36 teams with a guaranteed 8 games. You have to be really bad not to qualify for either the knockout or play off games, so that's 2 more...

    [Misc] Prostate Cancer

    Am I being monitored by Bill Gates? No not really, just grabbing your attention. After my 24 PSA reading, 2 x scans and biopsy I had my first Hormone Therapy injection. Nurse said it's some little gadget they put in to me that stops my body producing testosterone. The nurse didn't show me this...

    [Football] Van Nistelrooy

    Van Nistelroooy leaves after just four games with a record of 3W 1D 0L and the footballing world think he is the 'next big thing' in football management. WHY? Anyone remember Tim Sherwood. NSC was split as to whether we should take him on at the Albion but many thought him to be good following...

    [Albion] West Ham away tickets

    I'm in. Front row, lower tier. When Pedro scores his second and our fourth he will come running over and stand right in front of me. Well it's happened twice that the scorer at West Ham has rushed over to stand in front of me. As for Christmas, I cant think of anything better than getting out of...
