The Albion Roar

Former Albion defenders Andy Rollings and Chris Cattlin joined Ady & Al on stage at the Rialto Theatre in central Brighton back in December for an evening of stories, opinions and tributes.

This first show covers Roll & Catt's early days, signed in the 1970s by the club, their take on their fellow pros and managers, right up to the away game at Newcastle which took the Albion to the top division for the first time.

Phil Shelley also joined us on stage for his maillot de la semaine.

TV's Mike Ward joined Ady & Al in the Open Market studio ahead to discuss the Watford league match and West Brom FA Cup replay.

A small technical hitch in the middle of the show soon brought about a discussion about David Bowie, Mick Ronson and rainbow tank tops on Top of the Pops from 1972.

Talking of top tanks, Guy Butters had a natter from his lair in Southampton to offer his opinion on all things Albion - and of course, what makes the perfect English breakfast.

Phil Shelley's offering this week is the The Only Shirt In Essex.

Former BBC non-league guru Simon 'Levo' Levenson joined Ady, Al and Andy on a filthy evening in Kemp Town to record this week's show.

First up was the West Brom cup game which ended in a stalemate, while also facepalming and ranting about the Fulham game. Watford fan Andy Lewars also joined us ahead of the Premier League match to talk about their season so far.

Shirt of the Week was the nicest flock wallpaper you have ever seen.

Marcus 'Sir Rantsalot' Hancocks, and the Brighton & Hove Indy's Steve Bailey came in to talk about the Albion's non appearance on the BBC, Old Trafford and much more besides.

Farrell Monk from 'Fulhamish' was also on the show, and the shirt of the week comes from then old East Germany

Apologies for some of the sound quality on the Fulham interview.

Our friends Ali Jenkins and Phil Jones visited our Kemp Town studio to discuss starstruck Friend to the Scousers Kevin Friend's appalling behaviour, and the rest of the performance against Liverpool.

We also had a discussion about what makes a classic football shirt. So many considerations - including design, colour, material; oooh, loads of things.

Shirt of the Week is from the French Riviera.

The Argus' Brian Owen made a return visit to our studio in the Open Market this week, along with long-time absentee Steve Agace.

Bournemouth in the FA Cup, a look ahead to the next round, and a preview of the game against Liverpool. Plus we considered how well Nathan Jones would do at Stoke City, having left Luton Town this past week.

We also paid tribute to Dan Woods, guitarist in Seagulls Ska.

Ady & Al, for the first show of 2019, welcomed Kay Hutt and John Palfrey to discuss the Everton game, West Ham's tenancy at the Olympic Stadium, and we speculated on Davy Pröpper's first goal for the Albion - whenever that may be. That, and so much more...

Phil Shelley's Shirt of the Week is a cow.

The band got back together for the final episode of 2018, looking back over the year's highs and lows at Falmer, and on the road.

Find out who the listeners voted as their Albion goal of 2018, their favourite performance of the year, their favourite Albion moment and the Player of 2018.

Phil Shelley also gives us his Shirt of the Year. Enjoy.

Life-long Albion fan, and club finance officer, and secretary of the Brighton & Hove Albion Collectors' & Historians' Society - Edward David was our guest this week in Kemp Town.

We talked about his early days of the Albion in 1963, his early heroes, through to his time in office admin at the Albion while the club was at Withdean and eventually Falmer.

We also touched on the Chelsea game, and the ongoing controversies of offside goals against us, and what it takes for a top six side player to get sent off.

And do you know the way to Shirt of the Week?

With the Albion's financial results for 2017/18 published, football finance expert Kieran Maguire cut through the Technicalese and put into plain English many aspects of the year-end report.

Phil the Tweeting Seagull was our studio guest, as well as the North Stand Kollective's Anthony Ernesto, who just so happened to wandering through the Open Market while we were on air.

Shirt of the Week is an absolute beauty, of Corse (geddit?)
