There were more people at the Amex Stadium than at on Friday night, than voted in the Green Council in Fiveways Village. That’s what they call it up there.
The visit of Sheffield Wednesday eclipsed the 25,030 that crammed into the Goldstone in March 1983 (research see, research) to see the Albion take on Liverpool.
No one was ‘too shy’ that night.
It’ was a right old bun fight for the buses and trains afterwards.
Could a man survive in Coldean by eating his own shoes? Well I don’t think the queues went back that far.
It’s pretty crowded in the Albion dressing room as well. With Scottish striker Stephen Dobie, Spanish playmaker David Lopez , ex – Swansea playmaker ,Andrea Orlandi and the profoundly sorry and regretful Dean Hammond, all vying for a first team place.
Gone are the days when Dirk Lehman or Neil Smillie would rock up in August , almost unnoticed.
Albion are serious players in the transfer market nowadays.
It certainly is still bright at the Albion, though not bright enough for glow sticks apparently.
Watford wouldn’t allow Albion fans to wave ‘glow sticks’ in the away end.
It would have looked a bit like Michael Bolton gig.
I took some bird to see, A-ha at the Brighton centre in about 1987 and we all waved lighters.
Lit ones!
The Seagulls are in great form at the moment of course, Craig Mackail-Smith is hopefully going to get many more chances to perform his ‘C-Gull’ celebration routine, although one chap near me appeared to think CMS was in the Mason’s!
His conservatory won’t now need planning permission apparently.
But wins against Sheffield Wednesday, Wednesday? They didn’t know what day it was! And an ‘ugly victory at Watford keep Albion in third place.
I reckon everyone should wear Deeley Boppers to the Birmingham game.
How ironic and egocentric would that be. So very Brighton.
