Reading vs Brighton And Hove Albion ****Official Match Thread****

[Beach Hut]

To go or not to go: that is the question?

Go, we are just about to leave

Go ... too nearby to be lazy!!

 

[grummitts gloves]

I'm sure I read that Conway won't be available until the Bolton game?

 

[BBassic]

1-1

Halfway there and feeling sort of confident.

 

[TSB]

A hard-earned (and a little flukey, perhaps) point.
2-2.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Next couple of games will indicate whether we are good enough to mount a serious challenge this time. Currently I'm not convinced, but we'll see.

It all depends on the International clearance from the Welsh FA going through , with the loan announcement being made at 3pm on Thursday afternoon there should have been someone returning to the office after a 2 hour lunch break to send the faxes out.

 

[BensGrandad]

Is it known whether or not he has clearance to be part of the team either start or on the bench.

 

[Working class pride]

I went to the old Elm Park. Crowd 7000, Brighton away support about 3500, we lost 3 or 4 nil. Reading are a little bogey team for us, we never seem to beat them.

 

[Frutos]

I'm feeling worryingly optimistic.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

We haven't beaten Reading since that super night with a cunning Zamora/Brooker free kick and a Kitson special.

We've lost the last six on the trot against them. Scoring 3 and conceding 15.

Was that the occasion when they kept us locked in a corner of the ground and somebody threw a firework under a police horse causing it to rear up.

I dont tink so. It was late 80s, maybe early 90's but very low key. One of those all too often away days at that when the fans turned up but the players couldn't be bothered. Dreadful performance

 

[glasfryn]

2-1 to the Albion
confidence lads from them and US

 

[BensGrandad]

The game I mentioned was probably late 70s but time flies as you get older

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

Ahh another that works in that dreadfull place. I will make peoples life a misery if we lose

The worst bit is I live here as well!

Took my son to the park earlier in his colours, and the banter already started! They aren't the cleverer bunch though as they kept saying I was in the wrong colours .....

Terrible record. We (Ashley Barnes especially) owe them some payback for that ridiculous defeat first season at the Amex.

Late 80s we got battered 4-0 but there was bad trouble. Albion fans in home seats and attacking police horses. Went with a ManU mate of mine who said he'd never seen such bad violence.

Was that the one when Shaka was abused all game?

 

[seagullwedgee]

My lads and I still have the grim memories of the 5-1 thrashing in our system, with the only consolation being the CKR screamer that day.

Sing up those who go, come on you mighty Seagulls, but we'll be watching at home, cramped behind the sofa like we used to be as kids, when the Dr Who yettie appeared on the tellybox.
