a MUSEUM at the American Express Community Stadium?

[turienzo's lovechild]

someone on here mentioned a MUSEUM at the American Express Community Stadium. I didn't think much of it at the time, but now i'm obsessed with it

are there actual plans for this?

 

[Mendoza]

there are, and a very nice COFFEE SHOP

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

I think there were plans to have an Albion history type museum originally.

Im sure the Albion Historians club have lots of stuff to proudly display!

 

[Tricky Dicky]

We need somewhere to put the Champions League trophy in 5 years time !!

there are, and a very nice COFFEE SHOP

oooh, a coffee shop would be lovely

will they do a good pain au chocolat?

 

[Curious Orange]

It will no doubt have a few items from the Goldstone in there - I'm sure at least one of the turnstiles was liberated back in '97, as was the clock.

 

[Dave the OAP]

what would you put in there?

Lord B or that Dave the Gaffer chap

 

[The Large One]

Tim Carder is running this.

I think seeing as there will be more stuff to exhibit than there is room for, that it might be a bit of a 'rolling' exhibition with some things being permanent - others temporary.

 

[Kneon Light]

There is a museum and planning is well under way

Will they take the Albion stuff - a fine old Goldstone turnstile and Gordon Smith's Cup Final shirt - out of Brighton Museum and put it in there instead?

 

[house your seagull]

it'll be a bit like the one at the nou camp, but the trophy room will only have the Jewish Chronicle Cup from the 70's and a commerative cover from the 1910 Charity Shield win.

hoping there'll be some recognition for all the great fanzines over the years, though i doubt they'll frame the Gulls Eye with Bob Codner snorting gak in an Albion shirt.

i hope it's interactive, i want a wax Alan Mullery that shouts "You're not worth that Palace" when you walk past him.

i hear they have some of Peter Smiths dreads.

i hear they have macaroons in the shape of the east terrace.

WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE IN THE MUSEUM AND COFFEE SHOP ALBIONITES?

Lord B or that Dave the Gaffer chap

Wearing my Huddersfield Town Shirt and holding the League division 1 ( when football was proper football) trophy three times in a row.

"Those were the days my friend we thought they'd never end
We won the league three times in row
we won the FA cup, and now we're going up
we are the Town
Oh yes we are the Town!"

Laa laaa la la laaaa la

Hammond toMartot and Mayo sandwiches.

Guy Buttered Scones.

Simon Funnel Cake.

Paul Reid Upside-Down Cake.

Les Berry Muffins.

Darren Curried Rice.

Perhaps a little Stuart Tuck Shop for the kids selling bags of Alex Revells .

 

[Man of Harveys]

I'd like to see some really, really old Albion shirts. And if they don't have some from a certain era, then replica ones, to see what they were like. I'd also like unsung true Albion heros - like the late Frank Howard, say - to be honoured: I'd like fine people like him to remembered not only for his untiring efforts for the club over the years but also as a very decent way of sticking it up Belloti and Archer who shafted him so badly.

Genius

I also want to see a display of torture implements that would have been used on certain previous owners should this club ever have gone to the wall

 

[fork me]

It will no doubt have a few items from the Goldstone in there - I'm sure at least one of the turnstiles was liberated back in '97, as was the clock.

I believe one of the turnstiles is in the main Brighton museum in the Dome complex.
