I keep hearing about 'The lost generation of fans'. I think the idea to reduce prices to youngsters, including upto 21, is to try and win back some of the those who have missed the chance to attend Albion matches. Earlier in the thread someone said something similar, but if you look arond the...

Don't agree. I've never been a STH in my life. I have always bought tickets game to game, but the offer for the kids is generous enough to make me think seriously about buying a ST for my son and myself. I'm sure I won't be the only one who thinks like this.

If Ronaldo scores a goal like the first Gills goal everyone says it is world class. When a guy playing for a team in the bottom four of Div 3 you tend to think there is more than an element of luck about it. As we won I will watch it on Soccer Night and admire 'the best goal at Withdean this...

He must have pissed Wilkins off big time because he is one of three or four players who seem to be in the team every game whether they are playing well or not.

I thought he was excellent, particularly if that was his first session with the team, if I understood what Dean Wilkins said in the phone in.

Up until the first player got sent off I thought we were poor. For the rest of the first half we were very good. Three goals, a goal disallowed, hit the woodwork and Murray's dreadful miss. You would have thought the Gills half time team talk would have been about damage limitation, but we...

I go to most home games with my son and he gets in for £1.00. The downside is we have to sit in the family stand and the view there is not all that special. I would love to sit in the south stand but it is a lot of money to pay every game. For one match the family stand was sold out and we had...

Drive usually, just for convenience. Sometimes get the train but that adds an extra hour each way.

In the Family Stand you quite often get told to sit where you like, which gets quite interesting when someone gets all territorial about their seat.

Gillespie for me. Looks a class player even in a poor side. One of those players that you really wish we could sign. Not unfair to say that Forster looks a bit special at this level, in a pretty average at times team.

Realistically we are not going to get relegated so I am really hoping that DW throws caution to the wind and encourages the team to play with flair and take the odd chance here and there. Certainly in the home games we should be up and at the other team from the kick off. Play the ball on the...

1-0. Just hope we don't run the clock down with a quarter of the game left.

Collapsed man hole in Kemp Town. I wouldn't have thought this was an uncommon problem in Kemp Town.

I think it was Robbie Reinault. An Albion legend but in all honesty not very good. Mahoney-Johnson was the guy we signed on loan from QPR but he was so shite in training that we tried to send him back, but QPR refused to take him back so we were stuck with him for a month. That game with...

Kuipers - 7 - Didn't have a real save to make but handling was perfect. Whing - 7 - Looked as though he had been told not to just hoof everything up the field. Elphick - 8 - A big future on this showing. Back to his early season form. El-Abd - 7 - It's a shame he gives the ball away easily once...

I understand keeping possession for the last few minutes when you are winning by a single goal but surely when you have the best part of a quarter of an hour to go, you have a player away on the wing and a couple of players screaming for the ball in the box the best thing is to cross the ball. A...

Where did these stats come from. Barker only scored about 12 for us and not sure about Minton's 32 either.

It's got to be Newcastle. How can anyone believe that Keegan after years of not even going to a football match be a better bet as manager than Big Sam. Redknapp and West Ham was a strange one as well. He had half of the current England squad, if he had kept them together and brought them on he...

I read that Jake Robinson has now scored 20 goals for the Albion. I looked up in my Albion A-Z to see how that puts him in terms of Albion goalscorers. Dean Wilkins scored 31, John Byrne 28, Andy Ritchie 26, Dean Saunders 25, Steve Gatting 21 to name a few. Sadly the A-Z only covers up to...

I can't be arsed to read the whole thread, so someone may already of said this, but when it was announced at half time that the Albion had invited along some soldiers who had suffered injuries in Iraq and Afghahistan, my immediate thought was haven't they suffered enough without being forced to...
