From the Evening Argus, 20th February 1997:
Albion fans must be beginning to think getting rid of chairman Bill Archer is a bit like climbing Mount Everest.
Well now the anti-Archer campaign has even reached the Sherpas of Nepal, thanks to long-serving Seagulls supporter Mel Hempleman.
The mother-of-two from Henfield, a fan since 1968, sent us this picture taken by a friend.
The mountain in the background is actually Annapurna 1, but the message is still the same.
Mel said: “I am a passionate Albion fan and a very good friend of mine was climbing the Himilayas, so I gave him a banner to take.
He had a bit of a hard time making the Sherpa understand what it was all about, but he got there in the end!”
