[Albion] Our dismal record away to Roma

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

I’ve mentioned this on here before and been met with tumbleweed (and haven’t seen it mentioned on here since the draw) No one appears to know anything about it, and no one on here claims to have gone. I remember as a kid reading the result in a subsequent home programme. but as time went on I just thought I’d dreamt it. Anyhoo, this is from the book ‘Seagulls!’

Smith must score!!

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

We played them because PSV pulled out of a friendly. Apparently we played Palace, in another friendly, the day before and most of the team played both matches.

Smith must score!!

Yeah, personally I’d have settled for a 4-0 defeat in that match and a 3-2 win in the other.

 

[Stat Brother]

We went 1-0 up then subbed on Steal and Webbo.

Away we go! All roads lead to Rome as Albion visit Stadio Olimpico for SECOND time

How Brighton found themselves taking on AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico the day after a trip to Selhurst Park.

Sadly the Palace reference

appears inaccurate as the match was on the 15th

Ignore my comment above as yes, you were correct. Apologies. I was actually at the Palace friendly in question.

Thanks for that mate (although it has ballsed up my thread) Coincidence that article appeared today, as opposed to any previous day since the draw. At last I’ve found out a little more about it.

We didn't play Palace that season - they'd been relegated the season before.

It was a Saturday 3pm Friendly. 1-1 if I recall, and a little bit of handbags in the away end corner

I quickly read through this but when I went back for a second look I got the image below. Honestly, don’t tell me people actually pay to read the shite they usually publish

Condolences mate, ’im sorry to hear this.

So did ANY Brighton fan go to this ?!

 

[Vicar!]

I remember it happening as a trial for the team, as they were likely to qualify for Europe that season. But the uber defensive style, which was working very well, was abandoned and we reverted to an attacking style and sunk like a stone as a result. Can’t read the article as it is riddled with pop ups.
