By pure coincidence, this thread started just as my dad was going through his diagnosis. In fact, we found out he had 'advanced' prostate cancer on the day I turned 50 (Happy Birthday, me!). He's 79 now, and his prognosis is 5-7 years as long as the injections and tablets work their magic. His...
This is a hangover from Covid times which Wembley seems to be continuing with. I've been to loads of games at Wembley since this was brought in and not once have I been challenged when deviating from my entry time. It's completely unenforceable anyway; I'm running the marathon on the morning of...
Just returned from Littlehampton 1-1 Lancing. Quite a lively encounter in front of just over 300 fans. LA took an lead with a really well worked goal but were pegged back by Lancing before half time. Lancing had a penalty saved in the second half, but a draw was about right in the end. Lancing...
My 1,000th Albion game was actually quite a few years back; Paul Barber was kind enough to invite me into the boardroom hospitality lounge shortly afterwards for a game against Blackburn, having seen an article about my milestone in The Argus (in which I was a somewhat reluctant participant)...
You think that's bad, I'm running the London Marathon on the Sunday. Now trying to work out how quickly I'd have to run that in order to be able to get up to Wembley if we get to the semi final and it's played the same day.......
Just back from The Sportsfield, where a young Albion side won through 3-0 against Littlehampton in the Senior Cup. Feared the worst for LA when Albion scored after about 90 seconds but, to be fair, they more than held their own for the rest of the first half and should really have levelled (hit...
I needed to make a fairly swift getaway yesterday, so bolted for the exit one minute before the end of added time, only to be met by the thick blue line. And when I say 'thick'...... Turning left, I thought I'd try and blag my way out of the situation as I needed to get to Selhurst station...
A 'huge' hooligan problem?! Come on, I know it's all relative, but they're hardly Millwall. Not wanting to downplay it too much, as it's pretty embarrassing for the vast majority of 'normal' LA fans, but we're talking about a few dozen people here. And it's simply not true that LTFC haven't done...
Not really wanting to go over old ground yet again, but there are two sides to every story. There was plenty of antisocial behaviour at Hanworth, but no 'smashing up' (I was there). I wasn't at either the Faversham or Whitehawk games, but know plenty who were and the issues were certainly not as...

Littlehampton understandably upset with the Sussex FA for making them play Albion in the Senior Cup on Thu 23rd because of 'player welfare'. This is on the basis that Albion have a U-21s game...
Great 1-0 win for Littlehampton this afternoon, at home to in-form Cray Valley. In truth, we were quite fortunate to nick it with a very late goal against the run of play, after the visitors had been reduced to 10 men. That said, the defense and keeper were absolutely superb throughout and kept...
Well, if ever a play summed up Buffalo's night, that was it. Poyer and White practically knocking each other out in the process of committing pass interference.
