I managed to get free tickets again (thanks to Mark) for what was to be my second match watching The Albion.
The deal was that despite him usually getting them free we would help fund raise for the lower leagues in return but that wasn't to be the case.
Leanne who was our lift there traveled down from Enfield, North London and an accident on the M25 plus the usual hell on earth traffic that is Brighton on a Saturday meant we were an hour and a half late. Thankfully we go the tickets still, I how ever just wanted a stiff drink after the morning I had and I'm sure Leanne did too.
Despite being sat behind the goal in the pouring rain and not able to see much of the action the talent on show was that of great quality in the form of one of the coaches sat near us as well as the one and only Lau Lau who, for such a young player he is full of potential.

Now I will be the first to admit when I moved to Brighton to wind up many a Albion fan I would often say I supported Palace as that is where I was born and spent my pre-teens (the age I loved the game) but since finding another half that supports Brighton (Manchester United) I have to say they are becoming a very promising team and with the new stadium on its way I think it could be just the buzz they need to do even better.
Hopefully with Lau Lau sticking around down south it will be a great season for the Seagulls and I can continue to sit in the stands watching the match (leering at certain members of the coaching team) while getting soaked in the stands eating soggy chips.
Thankfully Brighton beat MK Dons 2-0 (Leanne being from Enfield had never witnessed such classy football) and in typical style the day was celebrated by getting on the booze wagon for a friends 21st.
All in all a great day and we even walked past the Lau Lau himself in town, nice bloke if I say so myself.
SCORCHER!
SCORCHER!
Did you see Lau Lau's almost namesake Lua Lua score for The Mighty Albion on Saturday too?
