Albion Roar

Albion's long-serving Head of Communications, Paul Camillin, joined Ady & Al for a heads up on all things behind the scenes at the club, including the Women's Euros, Newcastle match, transfer rumour twaddle, Albion's Next Big Thing - and the world's most unsubtle hint at a new arrival. Shirt of the Week is an African affair.

The Athletic's Andy Naylor joined Ady & Al for a post-match smirk at the Albion beating Manchester United - again; crap refs at Old Trafford - again; a look back at the tedious Marc Cucurella saga, and outrage at the end of Sports Report. Shirt of the Week is from south Asia.

Andy Bass, Marcus Hancocks and show sponsor Phil Shelley join up once again for our 17th season to chew over the start of the new football season, look back at the end of the last one, marvel at the Lionesses, facepalm at the concept of transfer speculation, and offer up our 'Ludicrous Pre-Season Predictions'.

Marcus Hancocks and Andy Bass joined Ady & Al for an end of season review on what was ultimately Brighton's best-ever. Our Player of the Season, our Goal of the Season, plus a look at how our pre-season predictions panned out. Plus we have Phil Shelley's shirt of the season - an absolute beaut.

Ady & Al are joined by John Baine (aka Attila the Stockbroker) and Campaign Director of Football v Homophobia, Louise Englefield. Jake Daniels' groundbreaking public acknowledgement, the sad demise of AFC Southwick, and a little more gloating over the Man United game. Shirt of the week is from central France.

Albion fans Vicki and Louis joined Ady & Al for a smugathon after the Man U demolition. Plus we spoke to Nikki Giles of AITC about the ramping up of their events through the summer, and Louis - a noted film maker - tells us about his latest venture, a FIFA-sponsored film about the Croatia side reaching the World Cup semi-final in 1998 against a backdrop of political unrest. Shirt of the Week was, it seems, too easy...

Justin Brentnall and Roar newcomer Andy Message joined Ady & Al to mostly talk about the Albion demolition of Wolves, oblivious - of course - to what was going to happen a week later.

Ady & Al welcone back Matt and Ryan to chew over the Southampton draw, while also considering who they would like the club to retain, plus a 'I-wasn't-born-then' view of the Albion's War Years from 1995-97.

The Argus' Brian Owen joined Ady and Al for a look back at the victory over Spurs, the defeat by Man City, and a reprise of the performance against Arsenal. Shirt of the week is Jeans.

By request, the show from 2017 with this week's birthday boy, Plymouth Argyle fan Richard Vaughan is being re-posted. Richard famously posted the 'I see the scum FA...' post in December 1996, which ultimately led to Fans United. This was recorded the night before the home match with Burton Albion five years ago, where the club properly looked after him and his father Roger, nearing the end of our promotion season to the Premier League.

An implausibly optimistic, celebratory show after our excellent win against Arsenal. Plus we discuss Sean Dyche's sacking, and talk about what the Albion's 'War Years' meant to a then-outsider.

Albion hero of the 1996/97 season, Stuart Storer joined Al from his Bedworth United clubhouse to chat over some of the most worrying, outrageous times in the Albion's history - culminating in the club's exit from the Goldstone Ground, 25 years ago this month. 

Journalist, musician, and all-round good egg Nick Szczepanik joins Ady & Al to discuss the so-called malaise at Brighton, the World Cup draw, the farce of the World Cup being Qatar, and the 25th anniversary of Brighton's last game under the floodlights at the Goldstone - and much more. Shirt of the Week is where there be Dragons.

It would be nice to talk about a decent win. Or a goal. But the wheels have come loose for the season, so Jason, Ady and Al aim for transcendental collective positivity - with the exception of Harry Kane - when talking about the Liverpool and Spurs matches. Even Shirt of the Week is a pyjama top.

Fresh from a day of talking about Chelsea and the international sanctions against owner Roman Abramovich, Kieran Maguire talks about Chelsea and the international sanctions against owner Roman Abramovich. We are also joined by Albion legend - and arguably the best player to wear the stripes, Mark Lawrenson. Shirt of the week is one of Lawro's old tops.

We invited Brighton & Hove Albion Supporters Club Chairman Nigel Summers on to the show to give his lowdown on the Aston Villa game, plus the history of the Supporters' Club, 25 years since THAT game against Leyton Orient. Plus we pay tribute to Shane Warne. Maillot du semaine est français.

With a dirge of a game to try and avoid, we invited Scott Coyne from 'The Belgian Football Podcast' to give us the lowdown on domestic football in Belgium, and the rise of Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in particular. Even Shirt of the Week is Flemish.

Two games to contemplate - Watford and Manchester United away. Vicki, Ady & Al review two similar performances with different referees, and different outcomes. Shirt of the Week is a Royal affair...

The Argus' Brian Owen and football finance expert Kieran Maguire offer some upfront and behind the scenes gossip and opinion on this week at Brighton & Hove Albion. The FA Cup exit, the Technical Director exit, and the exit - er, exciting - run in as the Albion go for highest place ever glory.

The Roar went stateside this week to discuss the phenomenon that, since our promotion to the Premier League in 2017, we have seen a number of new fans following the Albion, especially from the States. So we spoke to four of them to get their lowdown on why the follow the Super Seagulls.
