    [Albion] If Graham Potter is re-appointed...

    I'm sure that'll never happen because Chelsea have announced that they are installing efficient new underground pitch heating in time for next winter!

    [Albion] Chelsea in home end

    I empathise with your head scratching! I got invited to attend lunch etc for the Bournemouth game at equivalent to our 1901 club. Then had to sit amongst the most die hard Bournemouth fans just behind the dug outs. I never imagined I'd have to rise to clap THREE times. But, I was crying deeply...

    [Albion] We now have a BETTER chance of playing in Europe next year

    Your logic seems strong but I'm apprehensive De Zerbi is going to pull a proverbial cognilia out of the cappello and we'll score to be 4 up in the 89th minute on Thursday evening and then win on penalties, thus condemning us to 5 extra games over the next few months. But, I do worry that Dunky...

    [Albion] Roma tickets - number remaining tier to tier

    Still zero tickets. But thanks for the advice, It's worth it to take a few minutes to check ticket availability every now and then :-)

    [Albion] Luton Town vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    I agree with you that Luton were excellent. Tactics spot on. Unrelenting 'do or die' commitment and no let up for the whole 90. They pushed physicality to the limit, but were disciplined enough to just about always stay with the legal limit. They made us look busy, dainty and ineffective...

    [Albion] Dunk - straight red?

    Dunky, seems a bit tired to me. Perhaps getting those back to back MOTMs for England and still finding himself a junior member of the bench hasn't helped his head space. Whatever Lewis's fault, isn't the refs main job to keep things balanced, both flowing and under control? Rather than...

    [Albion] RDZ We played “the worst game…in my time”

    I think you're right. I sit near the centre in East, so the gap was really obvious, particularly in the first half. Long kick after long kick after long kick from the back to an isolated front line who seemed disadvantage because they mostly had to try take those long balls facing their own...

    [Albion] From really good to becoming champions?

    Love the way RDZ has us playing. What an amazing night against AEK Athens. But losing to them and West Ham makes me wonder what the next step in our evolution should be. It feels really frustrating when we play great football with so much possession yet still lose. Remember Fulham (H) last...

    I barrack for The Swans (Sydney) who are currently nose diving at HT to Carlton 2.6 to 6.5... 18 - 47 in the prelim finals :-( Too many behinds!!!! Wrong side of the Barassi line perhaps??? :-) An interesting point: AFL is just about the only code in remote Aboriginal communities, such as...

    [Albion] Season Ticket Holders – A Scheme to Donate Your Empty Seat to Inspire Young Footballers from Low-Income Families

    Interesting. You've got me thinking about how to use the exchange in some way.

    [Albion] Season Ticket Holders – A Scheme to Donate Your Empty Seat to Inspire Young Footballers from Low-Income Families

    I think you are right about the club being the proper 'agent/body' to oversee security/vulnerable kids and having the authority to shift things around. I'm leaning towards the view that it would be a good idea to put forward some initial ideas to AITC (Albion In The Community) to see if they...

    [Albion] Season Ticket Holders – A Scheme to Donate Your Empty Seat to Inspire Young Footballers from Low-Income Families

    There are quite a few season ticket holders around me who miss a few matches but don't use the exchange. This is what started me thinking about the idea of donating season ticket holder empty seats.

    [Albion] Season Ticket Holders – A Scheme to Donate Your Empty Seat to Inspire Young Footballers from Low-Income Families

    Very interesting post. I get your point. This proposal needs to be pitched to the club so that it is clear that it can be administered in a revenue neutral way.

    [Albion] Season Ticket Holders – A Scheme to Donate Your Empty Seat to Inspire Young Footballers from Low-Income Families

    The switching of two separate single tickets to provide two adjacent tickets- so that a minor and supervizing adult - is a good idea. It could easily be automated with a bit of software written for the specific purpose.

    [Albion] Season Ticket Holders – A Scheme to Donate Your Empty Seat to Inspire Young Footballers from Low-Income Families

    AITC hasn't been on my radar, especially as I've recently come from overseas and now live in Leicestershire. You've stimulated me to contact them. Perhaps they might be interested in taking carriage of a program built on ideas adapted from this thread. By the way, from 1 August they are...
