[Albion] Andy aka The Other One gofundme

[Bombardier]

Whilst understanding your frustration, The Athletic have threatened me with copyright before and I’d rather avoid the same again.

You can…

1. Use reader mode in Safari on iPhone, iPad or Mac. Other browsers may have similar modes.

2. Check out a site such as archive.ph.

My profound apologies for putting you in an awkward position Bozza.

Massive respect, Andy.

 

[Mackenzie]

"Reader Mode" you learn something new every day!

Thanks @Bozza that'll come in useful.

No need to apologise at all - I just need to be careful of copyright content, both text and images, being copy and pasted on here.

They can’t prove it wasn’t the favourite eatery for Albion fans.

Nope, but they own their site so they can (and will) delete anything they're suspicious about, and make life awkward for the subject of the review. I'd hate us to cause the guy any hassle.

Before we start to put the conversation to bed I thought I would post this. I wrote to the restaurant to thank them for their help. This is their response.


Good evening, thanks for the email. It makes me very happy.

I didn't do anything special, I assure you. I didn't behave like a special person, but a civil one I guess, in truth I just avoided being a coward.

The boys who came to me asking for help are all of us, they are our children, they were us as boys. What happened in Rome should never happen.

Maybe then I had a small debt to the English, as a boy I lived in London, a fantastic city that always welcomed me with open arms.

I send you greetings, go Brighton !go Roma!

And for sure after this , i will be also a Brighton & hove albion supporter


Riccardo Loreni

That just brought a little tear to my eye as it made me all emotional. “In truth I just avoided being a coward” is what did it. Big love to Riccardo

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Oooh - that could be good.

I'm not planning on buying anything big, but it will be several things that could have some bulk when together - I'm thinking go some Albion march and maybe a few Brighton souvenirs too.

I guess we could see if you can accommodate it and, if not, I can bundle it up and post it.

Surely there is enough cash for a framed shirt with his name on the back to hang in his restaurant?

I like that idea a lot!

 

[Bombardier]

Agreed. I also think it would be an idea to have a BHA shirt framed with Riccardo on it. If anyone has any sway with the Albion we could get some players to sign it. It’s just a mere thought. If more money is needed to fund a shirt just shout, I will cover. We get one go at this so, let’s make it befitting for someone who took the lads in at their time of need!!

As nice as it sounds, I'd already discounted this for a few reasons...

1. A framed shirt will be both heavy and fragile. Getting it there in one piece, by any means, would be expensive.
2. If you look at pictures of the restaurant on the website, it doesn't have the look of a place where a signed football shirt fits.
3. Given the vibe in Rome, a restauranteur may feel reluctant to display the football shirt of an English side.

Not necessarily for it to be displayed in the restaurant

I guess having a shirt on display, of the team that knocks Roma out 5-4, could be bad for business.

Then it has to be a poster of a seagull soaring and shitting over Rome.

@joydivisionovengloves could make a purchase and change his username. Or hers. Whatevers.

I have dispatched a signed copy of @El Presidente 's book*


*to the restaurateur across the street who failed to assist

 

[dazzer6666]

Might be the safest ‘political’ option?

EUR10 outside the stadium last week, probably get one for a fiver later tonight

 

[Iggle Piggle]

A good a thread as any to say a pleasure to meet @jackalbion this afternoon and that this adventure has been the best ever. Such a shame it's over but there we are.

Little did Jack know, when we qualified for Europe, that his arse would become so famous.
