The Albion Roar - 5th December 2025 with guest Ian Hart

Another week, another Ian, another book. Broadcaster and writer Ian Hart has put his Albion memoirs to paper with his first book 'Brighton - From Every Angle'. Harty chats with Ady & Al over the inspiration, desire and memories involved in getting this book done. Recommened as a great Christmas present.

A win over Brentford, essays in Dogma and being a director of AFC Sudbury - all this and more on this week's Roar. In association with www.flowersunlimitedbrighton.co.uk/

Long-standing Albion fan Ian Hine has a new book out - the very weighty 'Brighton & Hove Albion - An Illustrated History of the Matchday Programme.' It's a whopper of a book, not just covering Albion matchday programmes (or 'Match Cards' as they were first called), but a fascinating document of the changing attitudes of the 20th Century. £35 +pp from www.seagullsprogrammes.co.uk

A look back to the game at AFC Richmond's lesser-known occupants, signifying a point on the road, another clean sheet, and no chance of a double by or against Palace this season. Additionally, we examine potential law changes and whether Danny Malbec will qualify for the World Cup next summer.

Tickets? Any tickets? Buying or selling... Brighton's Head of Ticketing and Supporter Services, Jenny Gower, joins Ady & Al to talk about using AI to clamp down on international touting, more bums on seats, half season tickets, safe-standing and more besides...

With the Albion facing Leeds United, former Albion, Leeds and Monaco winger Seb Carole joins Ady & Al for a bumper podcast talking over his career.

After another win over Newcastle, Nick joins Ady & Al to go over the game, plus thoughts behind Danny Malbec's record-equalling milestone, coming good like a fine wine.

Ex-Albion defender Guy, now an integral part of the Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation, joins Ady & Al to talk about the closing stages of his career, how he joined what was then Albion In The Community, and what his roles are now. Plus a few tales, anecdotes and silliness from inside the dressing room. And, Northern Soul, of course. In association with Flowers Unlimited.

France football correspondent - and Albion fan - Jeremy joins Ady & Al for a look back at the Wolves game, and a look across all of France to see how the Albion loanees are getting on.

We could have made the show all about Simon Hooper, but he did that for himself at Stamford Bridge. So we have a shakedown of the match instead, and how we won despite there being so many on the pitch playing for Chelsea.
