Who are 'The Albion'

[Tesco in Disguise]

if someone were to ask you 'who are united playing this evening?', you would (methinks) immediately assume they were talking about manchester united.
but do west brom have a similar grip on the 'albion' franchise. they are probably (but not undoubtedly) the bigger club but do you feel that when 'the albion' is mentioned, whoever does so needs to be more specific?

So did Albion Rovers but we're bigger than them, aren't we

 

[Wardy]

To be honest not many people outside the club refere to us as "Albion". We are always called Brighton.

Yes we are, but we are talking about WBA.

Soccer AM always refer to West Brom as: 'The Albion'

Yes, but they also made up that stupid easy easy chant.

if someone were to ask you 'who are united playing this evening?'

I would say: Carlisle aren't playing anyone tonight, but they will certainly thump Orient on Saturday.

 

[Trufflehound]

Brighton are in the Championship.

West Brom are in some meaningless two-bit league that no one apart from Kinky gives a toss about.

Therefore we must be the bigger and more deserving club.

 

[The Laughing Bluebird]

I bet if you asked most neutral fans who they think you're talking about if you say 'the Albion', they would say West Brom.

 

[Curious Orange]

Yes, but they also made up that stupid easy easy chant.

No they didn't, Big Daddy did!!

 

[bhaexpress]

Sorry but even though they have speach impediment it's West Brom.

They've been in top flight football for far longer than us for a start, we're nicer though.

 

[Exmouth Seagull]

Round here 'the Albion' means a cafe!

The Albion Cafe in Albion Street Exmouth. A good old fashioned greasy spoon place.

 

[Braders]

Brighton are in the Championship.

West Brom are in some meaningless two-bit league that no one apart from Kinky gives a toss about.

Therefore we must be the bigger and more deserving club.

i like that logic

 

[Dave the OAP]

Yes, but they also made up that stupid easy easy chant.
