Albion Roar

Dan has a new book out, Kieran has a show in Brighton to promote, while Dean, who volunteers for the Samaritans and is the beneficiary of the Price of Football in Brighton, tells us about his work. And we talk about some football.

Justin and The Treason Show's Mark Brailsford join Ady & Al to discuss - among other things - the Newcastle win, Fab's tactics, Day Guy Welbz, Withdean & I, the ascension of the women's team - and much more...

Two days, three games, 17 goals, nine points. Some Albion weekends are pretty good, ya know...

Albion old boy, Robert Codner, and the original Albion fanzine editor Ian Hart pay tribute to the late Barry Lloyd, with both revealing a largely unknown side of Lloyd's time as Albion's manager and managing director. 

Another red card for Albion's opponents this season. Two of them - and their fans - really do struggle with the Laws of the Game on this. Piers joins Ady and Al from Berlin to discuss this - and more...

A draw against Ipswich and a League Cup win over Wolves are the talking points of this week's show, as the Albion somehow remain unbeaten.

For the past 30 years, Vic Bragg has been nurturing boys' talents at Brighton & Hove Albion. Having just retired from that role, Vic spent an hour with Ady & Al to talk about his past three decades with the club.

The UK's leading football finance expert (not a word he likes to use, but nothing else appropriate exists in the English language), Kieran Maguire joins Ady & Al for a chat about the popularity of football finance, the Albion's finances after a busy summer, and the tedious, incessant grizzling of Arsenal fans – and their client pundits – for not understanding the Laws of football.

With Ady in Spain, Al hosted a natter with Jason and Andy on the two Red Devils matches and ran the rule over the new signings. 

This week, The Argus' chief sports writer, Brian Owen joins Ady & A for a natter on Albion-related topics, including the inexhaustibly engorged squad size, the victory over Everton, plus Brian's excellent travelogue from following the Albion to Japan during the summer.

On New Season's Eve, it's time for a look ahead to the season, even though we almost certainly haven't assembled the entire squad yet, and we give our psychedelic pre-season predictions, based on little other than guesswork and Pimm's. Enjoy.

Ady & Al are back for the Roar's 18th season (count them). With a new manager – Fabian Hürzeler – in place, we sought the views of German football specialist, Seb Stafford Bloor. Also, with a new show sponsor in place, we sought the opinions of David Costa, owner of Flowers Unlimited.

Marcus, Andy and Phil join Ady & Al for the last time this season for a bumper edition to run our rule over the season - the highpoints and the lows, and offer our opinions on the all-too-brief reign of Roberto de Zerbi.

Recorded before the Chelsea match, hence the lack of ire for the match officials. Instead, we look back on a decent performance against Newcastle, themselves running out of steam as the season draws to a close.

Gnarly old campaigners Paul Samrah and John 'Attila The Stockbroker' Baine, so pivotal in both saving the Albion from its destructive board in the 1990s, and in gaining planning permission for the new stadium in the noughties, join Ady & Al for a look back on those days, a review of the Villa game – and Paul has a life-saving mission which needs your help...

As well as The Albion Roar, Al has a show on RadioReverb, playing an hour of soul, ska, mod and funk tunes. For the Reverbathon, Al closed the weekend with this hour of hot northern soul tunes, and a very distorted mic!

With thanks to our main sponsor, oldfootballshirts.com, alongside Reverbathon sponsors Ridgeview Wine Estate, Flowers Unlimited, and NSure, and guests Steve and John, we bring you our secion of Reverbathon 2024...

It was the best of own goals, it was the worst of own goals... Fellow podcaster Russell Guiver of Brighton Rock podcast joins us to talk about his favourite own goals, his own European adventure, and we pay tribute to Bushfire Erskine.

Mark and Roar debutant Claire join Ady & Al to discuss the state of women's football at Brighton, while Mark talks of how his acting workshop has clearly paid dividends to one Arsenal player...
