If anyone is at Cambridge University and could spare a few minutes for some Albion-related research in the university library, please PM me. Thank you.

If Paddy Flynn sees this, please would he PM me. Thank you.

After nine years, I just realised I included Polegate in the "Rest of the UK" figure. Sorry, Polegatians! Figures should read Rest of Sussex 2339 2047 290 2 Rest of UK 478 422 55 1

Back in 2002, I did some analysis for the club of their season-ticket holders' locations, for the purposes of evidence to the public inquiry. This is what I found. (NB "Gender unknown" were titled "Doctor" but the gender was unclear from the names.) Sorry the formatting isn't great on here but I...

If so you might like to have a look here and record your recollections of the day.

There were two boards. They were rescued, and restored (and corrected) by the Albion Collectors' and Historians' Society in 2008. They were installed on the wall in Withdean hospitality where they were unveiled by Joyce Watts, daughter of Charlie Webb (the first entry) and John Byrne (then the...

16,523 v Donny, 24 Oct 1964, 1-1 draw - in Division Four!

In the first round, the 1969/70 Portsmouth match attracted the biggest home crowd. Biggest home crowd ever in League Cup was 33,500 v Derby in R4 1976/77.

17,581 v Portsmouth, FA Cup R3, 2 Jan 1993. Well done Westy. Last time we had over 20,000 - as I hope we will on Saturday - was 26,467 v Arsenal, FA Cup R3, 30 Jan 1988. Last time we had over 20,000 in the league was 20,874 v Chelsea, Div 2, 3 Sep 1983. If it beats that figure then it will be...

When?

My sincere apologies Matt. Attila and I had been sharing a few bottles of Chateau Nutbourne and we weren't quite our normal selves. Well, I shouldn't really speak for John.

Did any one record it? I have most of it, but missed the last 15 minutes because my wife turned the radio off when she came home while I was out.

Continuing their series of postal covers to mark notable events and anniversaries, Brighton & Hove Albion Collectors’ and Historians’ Society is issuing a" “First Day Cover” to commemorate the official opening of the American Express Community Stadium on Saturday, 30th July 2011. The cover...

Anyone wishing to make a symbolic walk from the Goldstone to the Amex Stadium via Withdean can download a route pamphlet here.

Martin Perry recently indicated that around 140 supporters were anticipating arriving at matches by bike. Unfortunately, the vast majority of cycle stands provided at the stadium are unsuitable because a) they only accept one wheel and do not support the bike properly with the possibility of...

Yes, the council assures me it is the latest graffiti-proof (or rather graffiti-easy-removal) sign.

As Brighton & Hove Albion move into their new American Express Community Stadium, the club’s supporters are looking to remember their former home. Albion played at the Goldstone Ground in Old Shoreham Road, Hove, for 95 years from 1902 until 1997. After its controversial sale, the ground was...

Great idea, good luck to all. To be strictly historically accurate, perhaps you should start at the County Ground first, home ground of Brighton & Hove Albion in 1901/02, their first season!

The very last Withdean litter patrol, the traditional end-of-season tidy-up of the local area, will take place on Sunday, 15 May. For supporters, it's the final chance to take part in one of the award-winning patrols. Picking up any litter left by supporters was one of the commitments Albion...
