Brighton 0 Huddersfield 0

It’s now over 8 hours since Brighton scored a goal. Last night in one of the dullest football games I have ever seen there seemed precious little chance of a goal spectacular. The Seagulls hit the bar and post, once fortuitously, and that was the sum total of the excitement. I found myself [...]

Sussex CCC previewed

Yesterday I went to the county ground at Hove for a coffee with Tony Cottey, the ex-Glamorgan and Sussex cricketer who now is charge of business development, to renew my subscription for the Players Club. Tony played for the county from 1999 to 2004 and it’s rather attractive that business [...]

Sponsor’s dinner Brighton

Last night as the sponsor of goalkeeping coach Antii Niemi I was invited to the sponsor’s dinner. The idea is you sit at the table with your charge and are photoed with him. The only problem – but it’s quite a significant one – is that he was not there. The reason for this [...]

Brighton 1 Wolves 1

A crowd of just over 27000 witnessed a lacklustre match in which the draw was probably the fair result. Chris  Hughton rang the changes after a sterile performance at Reading in midweek with 5 new players.  The Seagulls looked liked they should have a goal when Teixeira’s shot was parried [...]

Benefit lunch: Luke Wright

Yesterday I attended the inaugural lunch for Luke Wright, the prolific one day batsman of Sussex, held at the Grand, Brighton. I have been attending such lunches for over 35 years and in that time the format has scarcely changed at all. The aim is to pack in as much in as possible to generate money [...]

Brighton 2 Derby 0

After 5 successive defeats to Derby, including two in the play-offs last season, the Seagulls reversed the trend with a somewhat fortunate victory. The Rams dominated possession and had many more chances but we took ours whilst David Stockdale made two crucial saves to keep us in the game. Before [...]

Brighton 2 Leeds 0

The Seagulls maintained ther rich vein of form with a victory over Leeds that was more emphatic than the score line might suggest. We even managed a goal from a striker. If you exclude Darren Bent, now at Derby, Craig Mackail-Smith was the last forward to score in the Championship and that was back [...]

Albion assessed: Brighton 4 Birmingham 3

After grinding out two away goalless draws at Cardiff and Sheffield Wednesday the last thing we expected at the Amex was a seven goal thriller. It would have been nice if one of the four goals came from a striker but it was Teixeira and Calderon, two midfielders, who scored. Inigo Calderon is a [...]

Arsenal 2 Leicester City 1

Yesterday I journeyed up from Brighton on the train with my neighbour at the Amex Jack to see Arsenal play Leicester City. Leicester did have a Brighton connection as our two best players last season Ulloa and Upson now wear their blue colours. Jack, despite following Brighton for 62 years and [...]

Albion assessed

There is an old joke in the rag trade that goes like this: “How is business?” “It was bad a few months ago but now it’s tailing off.” Speaking to Alan T post match, that seemed to sum up the plight of our two teams. Both Brighton and Fulham had a mini revival under new [...]
