I'm still hoping that Norwich v Ipswich doesn't happen in the Championship next season, as Norwich will be in the Prem.

Swansea or Cardiff, or both will be promoted. if not, Norwich will be. The Sheffield Derby looks appealing also with both teams slumming down in League One next year

Congrats to Brighton & Hove Albion in their championship and promotion next season. They have a new stadium and it looks great. Check out some pictures that were posted on North Stands Chat. Come on you Seagulls!

Sorry to post this on another thread, but given your camaraderie with Brighton & Hove Albion, I thought I'd mention that the SOB FC Free Beer Night (and all of our games) feature a former B&H Albion youth player. Formerly a goalie, Dan Hoedeman now anchors the SOB backline and drops some scoring knowledge on the opposition with his big, Dutch dome.

Quoted from the FBM Thread: Hey guys - just wanted to follow up on this thread. The FBM
piece that you guys wrote for the FBM Site is great.

My wife and I came out to the game last night and your energy is felt ramped up even more than the matches we attended last year. I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it out to the 7/9 game, but some of my Men's League team will be out there promoting our own Free Beer Night on 7/10. It would be awesome if we could get some of you guys, your awesome energy, and your drums & trumpets to bring the atmosphere of our game up to that next level. There will be a lot of beer flowing freely (and for free) including cases of "good stuff" (quoted from our German Dentist) and a Homebrew Keg of Surly Furious.

Here's a couple of links highlighting the event:

This would appear to be a good thing... LuaLua is back

Hey all, met a few of you in Chicago recently and was amazed to find the following for the Albion (my hometown club) amongst y'all.

I'm trying to organise North American supporters club for the Seagulls, to kick-off here's a Facebook Page to "like": http://www.facebook.com/pages/North-American-Seagulls/226918490677375

In the long we hope to be able to help with things like tickets for North American Albion fans visiting Brighton.

Also, anyone watching the Brighton game on Sat. morning? It's on Fox Soccer Plus!

Woot, Brighton v Doncaster Rovers..... Not exactly a major draw outside of Brighton & Doncaster in the UK.

I would have thought they would have saved Brighton for a bigger fixture than this, but what the heck.

1-0 Doncaster....

Looks like they're waking up a bit after the half, though.

What a thriller!
