[Albion] Name a unique or random thing that has happened at this football club

[carlzeiss]

We had to play a home game against Brentford at their Griffin Park because pot holes had begun to appear on the Withdean pitch.

Which means that I have watched us play home matches in five different stadia.

I can boast six then if watching the reserves playing home games at Woodside Road for a few seasons counts

And Mickey Adams.

@Harry Wilson's tackle has done this one already

 

[Crawley Dingo]

Dean Saunders takes a shot, misses, but ball knocks a copper out in front of the North stand.

A squirrel running down the touchline, during a game, at Withdean

How it took so long in this thread to get to that fact is a mystery.

And being the only Southern League club to ever win the Charity Shield.

I did think that myself when posting!

Do you mean the Friday night monsoon at home to Rochdale?

Jesus Christ, I remember that. I have never been more wet and miserable in my life. You know the “you can’t catch a cold from being cold/wet” that people pedal? I still think that’s absolute bollocks. I had the worst cold in my life after that game.

Absolutely f***ing insane

Turning up for the first game of the season vs Wolves at the goldstone and finding the north stand roof had gone

and there was no half price admission in the North so all the U16s much to our displeasure got marched down to a short lived “yoof area” (can’t remember the actual terminology) at the southern end of the East. We made a bit of noise though.

I remember that evening my brother texting me for updates whilst catching the sunshine in Cuba. My fingers were too cold to reply.

Since Leicester won the league, we're the only team to win the Charity Shield having never won the league or FA Cup.

Not entirely true. The England World Cup team beat a Canadian Touring team 4-2 in the 1950 CS.

…..and yes, I am fun at parties

 

[jessiejames]

Seeing the first league goal of this century.

 

[jessiejames]

Sorry juzt seen @portlock seagull post.

Sammy Lee walking out after 24 hours after agreeing to be our assistant manager

 

[5Ways Gull]

H

What was the other guys name? Wasn't it Brian Clough.

Are we the only football team to be completely airbrushed out of a major feature film?

We are the only club though to have the honour without the others

 

[Weststander]

Fireworks let off by a near neighbour with every home goal.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Have we had “sacked manager turns up in North Stand with all the fans before legging it across Hove Park in a pair of white shoes carrying a bag with the FA cup money in it”?

Getting a player in on a free transfer then selling him 3 weeks later for £125,000 without him playing a game for the club

Who was this? I really should know but can’t recall…

Remember Mark Wright leaving very, very soon after getting him but sure he played for us.

Paul Holsgrove - signed by Nobby Horton on a free, sold to Hibs the same transfer window for £113k without playing a game.
