Swarm of Seagulls

Yesterday’s 3-2 victory over Charlton was one of the best games I have seen a Brighton side play. After 5 minutes when we were two down to an enterprising Charlton team that belied their relegation postion and had unearthed from park football a talent in 18 year old Ademola Lookman, the word [...]

Can Brighton do it … then what?

Brighton sport update

Last week we received a memory stick from the Albion with the information on renewal of the 1901 Club. My granddaughter Chloe had to explain to me how to use it. I had spent much of last season trying to convince my neighbour that we would better off in more standard seats. The Seagulls were having [...]
