Luke Nicoli needs to learn basic maths. 2024-1901 = 123.

2 + 2 is 4, - 1 that's 3, quick maths

I thought he was referring to the anniversary not the number of years that the club has been in existence unless I’m missing something? (ie on my 18th Birthday, even though I have only been alive for 17 years, it’s still my 18th Birthday EDIT no it would be my 17th )

Is there a plaque at the Seven Stars Pub marking the birthplace of the Albion?

I’ve never seen one. There should be something there.

On your 18th birthday you have been alive for 18 years. Keep up at the back.

Were you allowed bottles in the stadium back then?

 

[Albion my Albion]

Do you think that by the 150th anniversary BHAFC will still be in the Premier League?

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Do you think we could claim that someone kicked a ball somewhere in Brighton in 1724 thus making us 300 years old and actually the oldest football club in the world?

Unless you are from South Korea where you are age 1 when born, and gain a year in age every Jan 1st.

Bit like a racehorse then, whose age goes up by a year every Jan 1st. So horses born in Jan have a big advantage in the early years because they are much more developed for a race restricted to a fixed age group (like the Derby)

From BHA to BHA

Happy Birthday to the Albion.

And aging birds - who are aged by ornithologists every 1st January by one calendar year, so they are already in their 2 calendar year when less than 12 months old

(Would it help if I claim to be a racehorse from S.Korea )

Probably just easier to admit to an early start on the booze.

My step dad’s grandfather, Tommy White, is in the team pic on the Albion’s website - the first known pic of us in the stripes.
He was the first Albion player to score wearing the stripes when playing in the pre-season practice match Stripes v Whites.

No bottles, but it was obligatory for every adult (typically male, but not exclusively) to carry in a keg barrel of beer.
