Get the train (Merseyrail from Lime Street) to either Rock Ferry or Birkenhead Central, but you need to get on a train for Ellesmere Port or Chester, don't get a New Brighton or Wet Kirkby train. Both are about a 15 or 20 minute walk to the ground. There are buses though, along Borough Road from...
After Saturday's game at Northampton, 98 grounnds, following the Albion, plus Stamford Bridge and Goodison which were both non Albion matches.
Although I did watch the youth team at Goodison a few years ago.
There are quite a few old mans pubs near the shops, and the one outside Central Staion is still there. The new Liverpool 1 though, when it's fully open, will be full of trendy wine bars and resturants with no spit and sawdust in sight!
And are you Rusty who's Mrs's family were from Kirkby??
It hasn't stopped lashing it down since first light, but apparently it's here for 2 or 3 days, so when the sun comes out over the weekend...............
Yep, first Albion game 8th April 1972, beat Wrexham 3-2 at the Goldstone and went on to finish runners up to Aston Villa and got promoted to the 2nd Division.
Programme cost 5p!!!
The 83 match at Anfield was on a Sunday and it was all ticket, with admission being by ticket not teamsheet.
I still have my ticket stub, number 760, which is framed along with semi final, final and final replay tickets and is on my office wall:ascarf:
See Bas has signed for Tranmere, along with George O'Callaghan, and both probably go straight into the team to play infront of a full house at Prenton Park against Liverpool tomorrow.
Having watched the Albion for over 30 years, I was wondering whether there was any other club in the league, where oer that period of time, you could have watched a team play in all 4 divisions, play off semi final and final and every round of the FA cup.
Probably not. That's all!!
Jimmy Melia was on Radio City in Liverpool over the weekend backing Hicks to make Liverpool FC great again! Apparently he is living in Texas and has the inside track to what Hicks is planning and his commitment to the club.
This on the same weekend Hick's son went into a pub in Liverpool after...
Manchester United v Brighton & Hove Albion
FA Youth Cup Third Round
Thursday 13 December 2007 , Old Trafford
Kick Off 7pm
Dear Mr...............
As Manchester United Under-18s have been drawn to play Brighton & Hove Albion in the 3rd Round of the FA Youth Cup we would like to make you aware...
My lad is mates with his son and he does have his sights set on bigger clubs than MK Dons. The fact he still lives on the Wirral, just moved to a new house and has no intentions of moving south indcates he won't be there long. So far his record is pretty good, next step would be moving up to...
My trip home is slightly different, but I left the stadium with my son and his mate about 10 minutes after the match had finished. Walked up to Wembley Park tube station, was on a tube heading north to Stanmore by 7.40ish, in the car for 8.00, and home in Liverpool by 11.00pm.
Whilst I was waiting to see a buyer at Tesco House today, I saw what I'm sure was a Div 2 Champions T.Shirt.
Anyone want to own up to working for Tesco and owning the T.Shirt?:albion2:
If you get the train to Lime Street, you then need to get Merseyrail to Birkenhead Central, trains run every 15 minutes, you need to get on a train for Ellesmere Port or Chester on the Wirral Line. It's 4 stops and takes about 10 minutes.
It's then a ten minute walk, straight along Borough...
If you're planning on going to the Matthew Street Festival, you should be aware it has been cancelled.
All the outdoor stages / venues are not happening, and there will be no outside bars or drinking allowed. This is due to the road works and building work which is happening in the city centre...
