Tim is 40, married with a 21-month-old son. He lives just off The Drove in Brighton.

His first Albion game was against York City in 1975 and since then he has been hooked.

Brighton & Hove Albion : Did you know?

.......if the Albion make the play-off final it will be exactly thirty years and one day since the 1983 Cup Final replay and 21 years, eleven months, 3 weeks and 6 days since their last appearance at Wembley

Brighton & Hove Albion :Old Gold - Old Boys & The Old Enemy.

Name some one famous from Hangleton. Dear old Dave Sexton? The jockey Ian Mongan? Peter Ward once upon a time. One can beat all of those. Dean Saunders probably the famous man ever to live in Hangleton. Well Hangleton Road anyway

From halftime at Hereford to four wins from heaven

Tell any Albion fan at 3:55pm on the 3rd May 1997 that in 16 years time the club would be four wins from the Premier League and playing regularly in front of 28,000 at home in Brighton, they would have laughed sarcastically in your face and had you sectioned.

Brighton & Hove Albion: 1st Reserve

I went to see the Albion Reserves/U21’S/Development Squad, last Monday. Alright, I went to see the Albion players who seldom make the first team play their Swansea counterparts at the Amex. I haven’t been to an Albion reserve type match since then ‘reserves’ played Plymouth at Worthing in 2003. Actually, it’s a long way to come, all the way from Devon (almost Cornwall) for a reserve match, especially at Worthing and the only reason I went was because Paul Kitson was due to make yet another return from injury for the Seagulls.

Brighton & Hove Albion: Crowd Seen!

There could be more people at the Amex Stadium than at on Friday night, than voted  the Green Council in Fiveways Village. That’s what they call it up there. The visit of Sheffield Wednesday could eclipse the 25,030 that crammed into the Goldstone in March 1983 (research see, research) to see the Albion take on Liverpool.  

Is it time we Vicent him on his way?

The saga of the summer is of course will the Seagulls re-sign Vicente Rodriguez.

Brighton & Hove Albion: Vi-cent-sational

The Saturday before the Cheltenham Festival in 1997, Brighton & Hove Albion were staring oblivion in the face, not at the foot of the queue at Alton Towers, but in reality at the foot of the old League 2.

Brighton & Hove Albion : 2011 - JCL's and Pastry Smells.

We thought thrashing Leyton Orient Five Nil on News Years Day was good, and it was it’s always fun to thrash O’s. They were of course a rival a few years ago; My point is the curve of 2011 just went up and up for Albion fans. It usually goes up a little or even quite high like 1983, then comes down quite drastically, relegation or threat of expulsion from the league that sort of thing.

Brighton & Hove Albion: Very much owed to Gus! (Ode get it?)

He didn’t win for nine games on the spin.

Any old iron!

You get a lot of Hammers fans in Brighton and Hove, they all know the Krays or their grandads did, apparently!

Brighton & Hove Albion - Bloom helps Argus Angel

Argus Award Winners Amanda Woodhouse and Tony Bloom help raise money for charity. Stuff about Mike Small coming soon. If I can remember any!

Does the Albion and Brighton in general need these trendy, wannabe Brightonians?

Jamie Theakstone would be outraged, Terry Garoghan would think it's a joke in very poor taste and Caroline Lucas probably doesn't have a clue about it. But Quentin Delahunty's (not Delia Hunt as reported in some quarters) remarkably ill informed blog questioning if Brighton and Hove needs its football club, has caused the outrage the author intended.

Brighton & Hove Albion: The 1901 to Falmer is right on time!

If you’re an Albion fan on Saturday morning you’re having a fairly pleasant dream, top of the entire Football League a 22,500 capacity sell out cup tie against Liverpool next week and still awaiting one of Spain’s greatest ever players to be unveiled in the midfield.

Brighton & Hove Albion: So let your voices ring my boys!

We’d all thought for years what it might be like, if it ever happened!
