[Albion] Brighton & Hibs Albion

[brighton_tom]

Dont mind us having some kind of ongoing dialogue with another club which makes it easy for recruitment teams to discuss potential loans or transfers either way, but would feel a bit uneasy about us announcing some kind of official partnership. It didnt feel right when Watford were getting lots of players in from Italian clubs due to their owners. Although having first dibs on Hibs players isnt exactly a huge advantage in the transfer market, it would still be seen a small step in the direction of having unfair advantages over other teams.

Totally agree.

Although I am surprised as I thought I was the only person who felt SoL would benefit from being sung twice as fast with competing factions signing different lyrics, only for it all to peter out before the end.

Fine set of fans aren’t they? Beat Rangers in the Scottish Cup Final. Invade the pitch, attack Rangers players, then have a go at Rangers fans, then stop the presentation of the cup by being complete knobheads, but it’s okay because they sing a nice song.

So long as it doesn't come with sectarianism...

Well quite, does this mean that all Albion fans will be required to join the Catholic Church? or maybe Hibs supporters become Proddies?

Sunshine On Lewes?

While the chief
Puts sunshine on Hayward’s Heath

I try to get up to Leith for half a dozen games a season. Last 25 years I've not heard any chanting about religion, Irish republicanism, 300 year old battles. None of it.

Vast majority of Hibs fans acknowledge the club's history but are not in thrall to it.

I'd love a pre season game v Hibs at Easter Road or the Amex.

So we now aren't allowed to praise anything without also being lumped in with supporting all the bad things they've ever done as well?

"There's something quite special about the Liverpool fans singing You'll Never Walk Alone on a big European night,"
"Oh and I suppose you find their taking the piss out of the Munich air crash hilarious too, you utter *******!?!"

Well our pre season "friendly" with Aberdeen at the Amex was a good one, not so sure the landlord of the Sportsman thought so though after he assessed the damage.

Discussions over a possible link up between Hibs and Brighton have taken place.

The Easter Road club are exploring the potential of an official partnership with the English Premier League side.

Interesting Stat B, though would we need Hibs?

Do you reckon Hibs are at a higher level than Blooms USG in Belgium?

........ This is the best news of the year, for my wife, who is a Hibs (goodness knows why) & BHA supporter!

Id love to hear Sussex by the sea belted out like that by the whole crowd at a full Amex.

It has the potential to be, if not quite a YNWA, a really powerful standard, and is unique to Sussex, Such a shame that for what ever reason we never seem to get it together

Well done for being the first to hit on the actual issue.

Football clubs should be independent entities. We don't want have proud clubs which are more like vassals to other clubs And we certainly don't want to edge (any further) towards a situation where mega rich owners have portfolios of clubs

I don't like the USG thing if i'm honest and I certainly don't like the Watford etc model.

Hope FIFA and UEFA put stronger action in to prevent it.

Informal links based on networks are fine. Maybe that's what's being proposed. No idea

If Carlsberg made football grounds.....

Easter Road is a cathedral. It's how football stadiums should be. Not too big, not too small, good views, a great traditional city location, and a cracking atmosphere.
If you haven't been, stick it on your bucket list.

I would love to see the Albion play there.
Maybe with our previous pre-season training being located in Dundee, a couple of Scottish fixtures are possibilities if we return to Dundee in July.

Good stuff. Hope it happens, whatever it may be.

Wasn’t that Spurs lads rather than Aberdeen fans?

Ah yes, the famous a23>m23>m25>m40>a46 derby

 

[Yes Chef]

What would Begbie make of our effete Sussex ways?

I didn't stick around to find out, or ask their true allegiences! There were certainly a lot in red shirts involved.

Hibs fans could learn a thing or two from Albion fans. They managed to string Sunshine on Leith out for about 4 minutes - we'd rattle through it in about 30 seconds.
