[Albion] Brighton & Hove Albion vs Crystal Palace *** Official Match Thread ***

[Insel affe]

A lot less intimidating than getting a train from Norwood Junction to Brighton this afternoon wearing an Albion scarf which is what I will be doing in a few hours .

yeah, tucked into your Stone Island hooligan coat

 

[RandyWanger]

Excited for this one! Leaving work later and shall be travelling down from South London with them. Hopefully they'll be miserable on the way back.

Just one De Zerbi,
He’ll do for me.
He came to Brighton,
From Italy.
You might score one,
But we’ll score three.
Just one De Zerbi,
From Italy.

Albion Albion,
Albion Albion,
Albion Albion,
Albion Albion.

Has anyone mentioned “form goes out of the window in derby games” ?

 

[erkan]

Does anyone know what time the Palace will be at the station after the game and which platform (to Brighton? to Lewes?) will be given over to their train...?

Southern website shows trains at 21.40, 22.08 and 22.39 FMR to EBN direct and 23.01 FMR to EBN with change at Lewes.

Will these be the only trains running East around that time or will there be any extra ones? Grateful for info. Would normally just get on with it (it is what it is...) but with junior in tow on school night would like to take best options.

I will be getting the 22:08 direct to EBN. I can only see what you have posted so I guess that is all that's running.

Are your son's teachers not on strike tomorrow?

Is it a Derby? May need a Poll

Thanks for reply. Do you know anything about the Palace train... does it go from "our" platform or from the Brighton one...? I'm guessing it might be around 22.10..??
(My son's school is open to some year groups including his).

Careful lads

Pub appears to be open

Lucky they had a spare bed sheet and some crayons with them so they could leave that 'banner' outside the open pub.

Bizarre that this isn’t even our biggest game this week. The reason I’d like us to win more than anything isn’t for 3 points, but for denying them points and keeping them right at the other end of the table.

What time is recommended to get to Mill Road and how long does it usually take to get on a bus there? First time driving

I'm not sure Moder is fit enough yet...

known to be full two hours before kick off, not long to get on a bus.

Well, I have recently moved back from Swannyland so this will be my first ever game seeing RDZ's Albion. This week I sorted my season ticket from next year and got Palace and Grimsby tickets.

I have only ever seen us lose against Palace 5 times and was at Grimsby when we got relegated.

Hope that helps.

I am hoping that the boxers, socks and T-shirt (All washed BTW) that I wore for the West Ham game will trump your bad run

2-1 Brighton. Come on make today the day we finally beat Palace for the first time in what feels like forever!

 

[Triggaaar]

Outplayed them as usual, but missed our chances. It's a joke the ref allowed all that time wasting and how he gave the penalty I'll never know.

I still don't understand how Welbeck hit the post with an open goal with such ferocity that it rebounded down the pitch into our goal.

 

[Swansman]

That Wednesday stat is just utterly bizarre and is surely the one metric that points the way to our eventual disappointment this evening

Clearly the boys think it is it bit meh to play football if they can't have a few beers after. And who can really blame them?

You shouldn't have washed them! You've washed the luck away.
