Our good friend, award-winning beer writer and Radio Reverb colleague Emma Inch is putting on the inaugural Brighton Beer Week from 24 August (STARTS TODAY) - 2 September, celebrating fantastic brewing and beer across the city. Loads of talks, testing and events for the beer connoisseur and...

Some will know that Al lost his father earlier this year, so this really strikes a chord. A wonderful tribute from son to father on Test Match Special using several cricket analogies. Wonderful. A bit of an onion chopper... https://twitter.com/bbctms/status/1031556120396091392?s=09 Sent...

"Actors and local fans unite to celebrate football in our city. We remember the remarkable struggle to save Brighton & Hove Albion, and raise our scarves and voices to Whitehawk FC. Uplifting, nerve-racking, tear-jerking - just like being a football fan." Directed by Paul Hodson. Hosted by...

Proud Seagulls - the supporters' group for LGBTQ+ Albion fans - launched yesterday. While it may not be of interest to many people, as an Albion supporters' group (and not a tokenistic one), we'd hope it can be appreciated and supported by fellow Albion fans. Good luck to them... Press...

Someone sorted you a Q&A session, no...? Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Maybe. Maybe not. But that's not the question. The key point is that it hasn't been proved to be unsafe. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

Everything to do with that, and were wrong to do so. Hillsborough was, to them, a final straw. To everyone else, given was the fault of the authorities, it was an 'accident' waiting to happen. Given that one of the worst examples of hooliganism in the 1980s happened at an all-seater stadium...

Thanks to the clueless people in government who flatly refused to believe what really happened at Hillsborough (some are still in denial) - and wrote their own narrative. Football had been a pariah to the them before; this was their perfect excuse to introduce an unnecessary level of social...

The club have an open mind - both curtailed by legislation - on both safe standing and the introduction of drinking in your seats. Would love to know why all seaters were introduced. If you believe it was Hillsborough, you are sadly misguided. Sent from my SM-A320FL using Tapatalk

It's not illegal, though the government reserves the right to force clubs to enforce the licensing provisions. From there, it's evident where the power comes from. In this instance, the government (after 'advice' from the SGSA) had retained the status quo by denying WBA the right to trial it...

The upshot is that the Government is advised by the SGSA (Sports Ground Safety Authority), a body who largely operate on evidence-free considerations. The people who sit on this not only have a pre-determined agenda of opposing safe standing, they want all clubs to enforce sitting across all...

Three Albion Roar podcasts this week... First up, with around a third of the season to go in the FA WSL2, Al swanned along to the Elite Football Performance Centre in Lancing to catch up with Albion Women's manager Hope Powell, and centre midfield enforcer Dani Buet for their views on the...

This March, RadioReverb 97.2FM is 14 years old. And like any 14-year-old, we’re funny, insightful, unpredictable, inventive and occasionally downright wilful. In order to keep*Reverb*fresh, continuous and free of irritating advertisements (and zit-free now it’s 14), we're looking for...

As is Norman 'Natterjack' Thomas, by the way.

"When I am a bit down, I go to YouTube and look at my Brighton goals. That cheers me up a lot, scored at the Amex at a good time for me..." Andrea Orlandi is on the Albion Roar this week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyR2GnvnHV0

:facepalm: Good grief. Do you honestly think the club operates within a bubble and has no idea what's going on on its doorstep? And that if it doesn't, it's only the like of the Roar that nudges it awake? Trying to blame us for this is low. And totally out of order.

Please point out the bit that was 'stupid' on our part.
