Brighton Rock Podcast

Blue skies. Wispy clouds. What better time than now for a quick catch up and a natter with The Gent, Raymond Wright.

In discussion: his views on the season so far, what we need to resolve on the pitch and which moves we should make to have the winter sun shine on Albion’s fortunes going forward in the crucial upcoming weeks.

Also rather conveniently, while recording, we heard word from Graham P’s presser that Percy Tau had arrived and already trained with The Albion this morning (Thursday) and that he might feature at the weekend, as we hope to avoid any “banana skins down South Wales way!”.

We also had time to throw in a nice cliche of the week: “the pitch can be a leveller”. A traditional classic 👏

Stand or fall! UTA! Down with banana skins (but not literally!)!!!


Warning: there is no swearing on this episode. Raymond is such a gent, you see.

Actually Russell mentioned P*lace briefly so that’s pretty offensive.

It’s back to a good ole-fashioned two-hander this time with Peter and Russ aka The Pod Couple mulling over Albion’s first match of 2021 - a high scorer with positive vibes v Wolves, who in tribute to the army of Portuguese players in their ranks decided to turn up in the Portugal home kit!

We also have a final whinge at that caddish bounder known as 2020 and through some nifty footwork, make space in the box to moan about Mr Tumble too.

Russ, Pete, Andy K & Richard are in the starting line up as we welcome in the new year with a reflection on recent events on and off the pitch, preview the Wolves game and let Peter vent his ire on those lively Leeds fans (I know, I’m as shocked as you are that he’s felt the need to have a go at them! 😜)

We were going to swap ourselves out in favour of the lost and forgotten this week in tribute to Graham Potter’s first team selection but given the result thought better of it so we’ve settled for regulars Russell, Peter and Andy B, plus Arsenal fan Jason, who pops back in for a metaphorical cuppa and a chinwag and to give his view on the game and Albion’s prospects.

And we speculate on what’s needed from Tony B and co to resolve our ongoing woes. A new coach? A major striker signing? Both?

And may we say thanks as always to our sponsors Seagulls Over London, who are as good as locked down in Tier 4 at www.seagullsoverlondon.com and also as it’s our final episode of 2020 may we also say bugger right off! to 2020 and it’s various acts of odious behaviour!

Stand or fall! UTA! And bugger off 2020, you bloody Smelly Pants!

Points dropped on the road again, we review a frustrating outcome in the capital but with games coming think and fast it’s on to another London affair as Arsenal travel to The Amex. We welcome back Jason Saunders, a Gooner of distinction, to cast an eye over recent matches and his side’s prospects against their bogey side Albion.

Cliche of the Week: Bogey team!

Roasting their chestnuts and decking their halls on this Christmas Special are Russ, Peter, Andy B and - with a warm welcome back - the returning Richard Holberton, to reflect on Albion’s current status, highlight the transfer needs this coming month and preview the looming visit to Sham - a more challenging fixture perhaps than in past seasons.

Sponsorship? Why, Seagulls Over London of course!

Merry Christmas to all our listeners and stand or fall! UTA!

Well, we didn’t lose! So that’s something I suppose.

Andys B & K joined Russ and Pete to weigh up the factors affecting the Potterometer as the tide of opinion starts to shift against the Albion coach.

There’s also a nod to last week’s guest Kevin Day, praise for BBC Sunday night drama and great use of the word ‘inculcate’ amongst other barrel scraping credentials!


Sponsors? Well Seagullls Over London, of course. They of residence here:

In this second hour with Kevin, we got onto the subject of his career in stand-up, writing for TV and his new found fame as co-star of The Price Of Football podcast, with Albion’s own Kieran Maguire. And then 35 mins after his “really must go by” time had elapsed we finally let him go off to ruin his wife’s peaceful and quiet evening!!!

And by God were we happy to have had him on the pod on the Friday, cos the next day he must’ve been like a bear with a sore head as it was not exactly seventh heaven for his beloved football team v Liverpool (no laughing at the back! 🤨).

Time for a special! We once asked comedian and P*lace fan Kevin Day if there was any chance he’d come on our Albion podcast in the run up to the last derby match and he succinctly replied “none whatsoever!”.

However, by means of an entirely unrelated bet he’d made with someone and by our shameless opportunism, we managed to persuade him to come on and speak with the ‘enemy’ - at a safe distance from the next clash between our sides. And he confirmed our already well established view that both he and P*lace fans in general are thoroughly decent chaps! Typical bloody P*lace spoiling our pantomime hatred! 😠

In this first half of our chat, Kevin talks about his affiliation from its early days, more broadly on the essence of football supporter culture and a few of the funny, bizarre and downright surreal experiences of following the beautiful game.
