A-Z of little-known Albion miscellany - for new fans

[Bold Seagull]

Crystal Palace
This poor quality football club haven't beaten Brighton in Sussex. Ever. Not once, in 79 attempts. The figure is much closer for fixtures at their current home Selhurst Park where Palace have won 7 times, with 26 draws and 48 Albion wins.

The Amex Stadium Home to the Seagulls ever since August 2011, the stadium is unique to football in many ways. It has comfortable padded seats, 23 breweries on site, 14 betting stands, but strangely no clock.

The stadium is due to be expanded in size in 2013 to 48,000 seats - even bigger than the capacties of the Emirates Stadium in North London and Wembley Stadium put together.

MacKail-Smith, Craig

Referred to as only CMS due to a clause in his contract as Albion's record ever player purchase. His record 42365235 Ugandan Dollar a week contract means he is not very well liked amongst his team mates, who as a consequence refuse to pass him the ball during matches. Born in Watford, CMS is qualified to represent Scotland in any sport man can name.

When Afghanistan play football internationals in England, they play at the Goldstone (true story).
