[Albion] Albion in the Media

[Eeyore]

There are no worries concerning ‘entitlement’ with my grandson. He has been well briefed on our history and the rocky road to success. Yes, everything in the garden is roses at the moment but it is always possible that we could end up like Wigan or Portsmouth or any other previous PL short term high fliers. A case of feet firmly planted on the ground.

Indeed. And it stops this whole 'tinpot' thing as well. To me Chelsea is 'tinpot' not yer lower league teams with their loyal supporter bases. Okay, Reading, perhaps.

I find it better to see it this way. It keeps folk liking us too. The only danger is a new breed of fans who are as entitled as some others have become. An Albion fan of 18-20 has known nothing other than this curve of success. I hope parents have Albion history on the curriculum.

The fans of 18-20 years old would have seen us in the Championship under Hyypia and later scrapping around in the nether regions of the Premier League.

It's the ones of primary school age we need to worry about. They'll only know a team battling for titles domestically and in Europe with a global fanbase and Balón D'Or winning players. How do we keep their feet on the ground?

You don’t keep their feet on the ground.
You let them fly.

I listened to this at the time, he spoke very well about us and fancies us for another top 6 finish and a decent run in Europe

These guys (West Ham fans) are seriously imnpressed with BHA:

This was good watch, Fast forward to 16:50 mins in! Goodridge and Tubes absolutely love us! That's nice to hear from a hardcore Utd and Chelsea fan.

We really are the flavour of the month for some of the more watched football channels.

While it does start to get a bit same same it just shows how much the clubs brand is growing.

Content creators see us as being able to bring in the viewers.

Someone uploaded this a few days ago. A bit of past history. A 19 year old Bobby Zamora.

Quite possibly the debut of #TeamsLikeBrighton at 9:37

Maybe fixtures.. but nice to see our Dutch contingent give this kid their time:

Good video but I found myself a little irritated with his constant arm movements all over the place - reminded me of Magnus Pike*



* a reference for the kids there.

He was in one of those Mortimer & Whitehouse programmes recently.

I find all the high praise and gushing adoration a little too much really. I just want to enjoy watching football.

My boss at work, a good friend too, is a Leeds United fan (a proper one from the area) and doesn't stop crowing about the Albion. Even looks out for our results each week and knows as much about our games as Leeds. I think folk are drawn to it because it's an unusual story. I always play it down. Yes, at the moment things seem to be going well, but it can all change. So I'm just enjoying it for what it is. I never forget the rock from which we were hewn. As far as I am concerned we are a third division team done good.

My son's 18, and has had an ST since he was 7. He had to suffer the Sami Hyypia years, Palace play-off, etc., so not all wine and roses.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

The underlying sense with all the praise is "just wait till they slip up, then we'll have a story. Little club, burned bright, reached too far, nothing changes".

An excellent segment. Thanks
