    [Cricket] The village / amateur 2024 CRICKET thread...

    You're not wrong, although in the past the wicket has been somewhat ill-prepared. Last weekend it was an absolute road apparently so it's obviously OK at the moment, but I remember watching my son play there a decade ago and it was like bowling on a trampoline. The only Top Deck cricket advert...

    It certainly is. Beautiful view too, and five mins from my door. Fast turning back into one of my happy places (I was a member a decade ago and have just returned this season). However I'll be playing at our second ground for this fixture, The Ring in Earlswood.

    Merstham CC 4s v Trinity Mid-Whitgiftian CC for me tomorrow (weather permitting) in a friendly. We've already beaten them in our Division 6 East Surrey league fixture a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to it.

    [Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

    Plus of course the smug boring gobshite will not be seen on here for six months if Palace don't actually finish above us.

    If that happens I guess it goes head to head then? :cool:

    [Albion] Chelsea in home end

    Exactly this. I don't begrudge away fans getting into home areas as long as the appropriate level of respect is given. No wearing colours and no acting like a complete cnt if you score. Celebrate briefly but don't be obnoxious. I remember leaping up and punching the air to celebrate a Kerry...

    [Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

    I doubt Man Utd will be that fired up, tbh. They are 8th and while 7th will probably be a Conference place, I doubt a club of that size will be all that interested. And on paper, Newcastle have an easier game than they do so they probably think it has gone anyway. Plus obviously they'll be...

    [Albion] Premier League 14-15/5/24

    I'd say six years comfortably comes under the "present day" banner. Just face it, you're wrong.

    Like this you mean? (only 6 years ago) Have they had 4 different winners in 4 seasons at all in your lifetime?

    Serie A recent champions: Juve 10, Inter 7 out of a total of 20. 🤡

    [Albion] Premier League 14-15/5/24

    Yes and no. I mean I know I'd be torn on the matter. Sometimes I think this is where fan culture loses all sense of balance and decency. Do we really define ourselves as Brighton fans or are we just Palace haters?

    [Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

    Alternatively maybe you need to get some perspective. For two seasons you haven't been close to being in our league; and this season that is with us having ten games in Europe to contend with, going 2 rounds further in the FAC and starting our League Cup campaign the day after you'd been...

    Really quite annoyed he's still here to be honest. An absolute waste of wages.

    [Albion] Should the Albion invest in an airfield?

    It's actually a TRAM station for the new service running on Lewes Road from central Brighton, up past The Level, through the 'scoomb right up to God's own stadium. :thumbsup:

    [Albion] Adam Lallana **Leaving Summer 2024**

    Enjoyed watching Lallana. He is a good professional and he's leaving for the right reasons. Thanks for some.good performances and good luck going forward, AL.

    At least @hans kraay fan club got a game. I was all set, checked my phone 5 mins before setting off, only to find the oppo (Old Dorkingians) had cancelled 15 minutes before we were due to meet. Poor show IMO. Day spent gardening instead. Shite.

    [Football] League Two Play-Off Final: Crawley Town vs Crewe Alexandra (Sunday, 13:00)

    I live 8 miles from Crawley and there are far more Albion than Palace fans there. It's always the people who have hardly ever been to the place who come up with this shit. If you want to be accurate, Crawley is the sort of place where most people support one of the big 4 London clubs. Palace...

    [Albion] Half full or half empty

    Yep, all of this. A top level CM and some luck with injuries and form, and we'll be bothering the top 8 again.

    [Albion] Carl Rushworth

    Do we actually know who is further up the food chain - Beadle or Rushworth? There surely isn't room for both here, as only one of them can expect to compete for the #1 jersey here. Unless I suppose Bart has an outstanding season next time, we get an offer we can't refuse and then both come...

    [Football] League Two Play-Off Final: Crawley Town vs Crewe Alexandra (Sunday, 13:00)

    I can't be doing with this dislike for Crawley on here. It's pure snobbery because it isn't by the sea and is a blue collar town - but it's no less Sussex than Horsham or Eastbourne FFS. Some of these people sneering at the place on here should front up and tell us where they live, so that...
