    [Albion] Your football ancestry

    I'll whisper it quietly, but I was born in the front bedroom of a council house in ... Croydon. Fortunately my father had the good sense to get himself a job at a factory in Shoreham and we moved to Brighton when I was only 3 years old, so therefore before any lasting damage was done, and I...

    [Drinking] Lunchtime Drinking (70s80s)

    I’ve enjoyed reading this thread. The younger element on the board are probably thinking it’s full of bullshit and exaggeration, but as someone who is now retired but worked through the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s I can tell you I believe every single word of every single post because it really really...

    [Albion] U21s v Forest U21s Away tonight 7pm

    6 yellow cards by the 50th minute! 4 for Forest and 2 for the good guys. 😳

    [Albion] New Amex entrance numbering

    Worry not. My season ticket says entrance West 1. I just walked in entrance West 7 with no issues whatsoever.

    [Albion] Han Solo/Swansman You Tube Channel

    Bravo! :clap2: I’m not sure if the joke translates in Sweden, but it made me titter out loud anyway. :lolol:

    [NSC] NSC - what it has become, and how can it be made better

    I've actually taken the time to read every post on this thread and good luck to Bozza in extracting any useful ideas/changes that will suit everybody! My advice Bozza, for what it's worth, is to echo the thoughts of many on here and suggest you adopt the old adage of 'if it ain't broke ...

    [Finance] Car Ins - windscreen replacement & NCB

    Your man was absolutely right. Unless it’s a vintage, nobody driving a car should worry about their windscreen shattering anymore. It can’t happen, unless someone decides to drop a brick or similar from a bridge as you pass under! The advent of laminated windscreens put a stop to shattering. You...

    [Albion] What's happened to Adam Webster.

    Well done. An instant prime example of exactly the type of ‘fan’ that you yourself are purporting to condemn. Why say “he hasn’t been great recently”? Not necessary was it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

    [Albion] Stabbings

    That’s not going to happen. I have a good friend who lives in Italy. He said the attacks have made the news in Italy … but apparently our boys were just caught up in a bit of gang rivalry!! It’s a dangerous area, notorious for gang fights apparently, and our boys just happened to be wrong place...

    [Albion] Albion U21s v WBA U21s, Premier League 2, tonight, 7pm - Live stream on youtube

    Really enjoyed that game. Perfect anecdote to blow away the traumas of last night. West Brom were no mugs and their no 8 was impressive, but our lads were better and fully deserved the win. Doyle oozes confidence. 1st time I’ve seen him play and he looks like he could easily be the next starlet...

    [Albion] The third goal was offside?

    Sorry to appear thick, but what exactly do you mean? To my untrained eye, your additional angled lines confirm without doubt that it was miles offside. What am I missing?

    [Albion] Non-goal highlights v Ajax

    My mate arrived a few seconds after kick off and jokingly asked me if he'd missed anything. I told him he'd missed the entire away support all stand (they were standing anyway) and as one they loudly applauded the name of Joel Veltman as he was announced as part of the opposition team. I...

    [Albion] Carl Rushworth

    Can't see it anywhere, so apologies if this has already been mentioned and I missed it ... Rushworth possibly off to Swansea on loan? Saw something about it on a Swansea message board, and also apparently his girlfriend has just started following Swansea on Instagram. Bit tenuous I know, but...

    [Football] Who do you want to win the Championship playoffs?

    Another local here, I can get to the stadium in about 20 minutes on a good day, so it has to be a vote for Cov from me. Add to that my wife, my son, my two stepsons, two of my grandsons, my daughter's partner, my brother-in-law and my two nephews are all fanatical Cov fans ... 5 of that lot...

    [Albion] Where do you come from on match days at the Amex

    Seems an early start? I travel from West Midlands every home game, which is further north than Northants. By car … 301 miles round trip door to door (door being Mill Road), rarely leave before 10am. By train (via Northants) usually catch the 8.58 from my local station but once got the 9.58 and...

    [Help] Tyre advice

    Good question, and I don't know the answer! My guess, and it's just my opinion, is it was possibly a result of successful lobbying from the RHA or similar on the basis of economics for the Transport Industry. Also, Commercial tyres are manufactured to different criteria, so the government...

    [Help] Tyre advice

    I spent 35 years in the Tyre Industry in one capacity or another so I can probably offer a bit of helpful advice. Firstly ... of all the advice given on this thread thus far, please do NOT follow the advice given above by nick. Part worn tyres are a lottery. You may be lucky, as nick obviously...

    [Football] Lights on the gates at the Amex

    Mine is an OAP season ticket, and I swear it turns a purply blue colour when I go through? I might be wrong, i've never really taken a lot of notice, .. but I'm going to on Saturday! :smile: Now I know the stewards can identify an OAP pass ... and yet not once have they ever challenged me ...

    [Albion] NOT the 25 Man Squad - Loans, transfers and rumours

    Thank you. I'm not on Twitter and nor do I look at every thread on here .. let alone every post .. so I'm always behind with the news. I rely on posters on here to keep me up to speed, so thanks again for the update! :thumbsup:

    [Albion] NOT the 25 Man Squad - Loans, transfers and rumours

    I keep seeing references to Van Hecke not being in Potter's plans, and imminent loan out etc etc. However, I have never seen anything from the club about it. Have I missed it? Can someone point me in the direction of an official quote or similar, or is this another classic case of somebody...
