I did find some really dedicated managers & teams out there. Fishersgate Flyers, Adur, Saltdean & Denton were always sporting. I also saw a young Joe El Abd (Adam's older brother) and a lad called Westgate(?) from Eastbourne who went on to play a few games on the wing for Albion. Am also proud...

Well done to those that do this. Manageing a team seems easy but you have to organise training & book pitches, a ref, hope somebody will run the line, help put up thenets, help the kids get changed, help with transport, do the oranges..... Then you have to be a diplomat with the kids but, even...

Very sad

Often forgotten but would have to go into that team of great players everywhere else but for Albion. Team could include Phil Beal, Joe Kinnear, Frank Stapleton, Willie Young and that Ferguson bloke with the beard who was so good for Coventry., & Robbie Savage.

I got 4. One pair to a mate so his Dad & can treat his mum to her 1st Amex game and the other pair to an Albion fan who used to be quite regular on here but lives a long way away but making this special midweek trip.

SBSounds like something I had a couple of years back. Came on in seconds and I had to ask someone to walk me to the 1st aid room at work because I felt that if I stood then I would fall over. Was then sick everytime I got up from the sick bed. Good news is that it passed and has never returned...

I like Peston, mainly because he reminds me of a mate. Love his laid back attitude. maybe not right for the news and must be a nightmare when trying to keep a story to time.

Maybe he could have handled Duffy, because it all went so wrong for him.

I feel you do him an injustice. he made big changes in a short time. He gained alot from his time in the USA and was very 'customer focused' and asked fans to write to him and he'd reply in the programmer. Some of these things were quite basic, like toilet rolls & towels and a roof on the...

Yes, once again I stand corrected, Nobby Lawton bought by Archie Mac. It was Geoff Sidebottom & Barrie Wight he bought over from New York. Clearly not sacked, a talented manager it would be difficult to hold once a bigger club came in. Interestingly we had a new pin badge based oin a design of...

I appreciate that (and others). I intend to stay around a while yet although the stairs to WSU have it in for me!

Then you probably know more than me then. They hardly helped to encourage visitors either and I suspect it's better (safer) now. Ninnian was a truly nasty place to go and, not only did you have to try a fake accent, you also needed to dress like a meathead from the 80's to have any chance of...

I am still here but my Son saw this and text me to let me know. Very sad news. I chose Freddie for my name because he was only here for a little while but made a big difference and so often overlooked in Albion's history. He was paoched to be manager of Birmingham City and had quite a few good...

Mrs hasn't realised yet that the silent treatment is actually a blessing!

Cardiff were always a traditionally well supported club but there was a time (not sure when, I think 80's) where H&S went mad in Wales and stands were closed or numbers allowed were slashed to really low levels yet theses conditions didn't apply to many English grounds which may have been in a...

Thanks.

Thanks for the link, just looking at that 1st season, we've got though some players! In that 1st season Aiden Newhouse started with the 25 but Bobby had it by the end.

I've always thought they should have a hot soup at football, especially during the winter months. They used to sell soup at The Dogs in the old days, always went down well.

We always had the best possession stats but that was often because we played it across our back line again and again. Teams just let us have the ball knowing that sooner or later we'd give it away. That what comes with the obsession with stats. Apparently Leicester have the poorest possession...

Not much chance of him being our best 25!
