Albion Protecting their Territory

[oneday]

On a visit to Fishbourne School, this morning, about a building project, the van from BHA "Football in the Community " arrived.
I said to the driver, "Blimey, your brave encroaching on Pompey territory".
He said "it's Albion territory, Hampshire starts 2 miles down the road."
"Quite right" I said, "As an Albion season ticket holder, like to hear that."
He perversely then said he lived in Pompey and was a Pompey season ticket holder but that he worked full time for the Albion.
After delivering, whatever, he jumped in the van and was off.
I later saw him turn off the Chichester by pass heading for another school.
Man the barricades I say.

A Pompey fan working for the Albion? Brave man. Rather like my friend who is a big Palace fan and worked for the Albion, too.

I would never work for Pompey or the Scum, naturally(!)

My friend's cousin played for Brighton and left to join Palace purely for the money...

IMO we don't see enough of the Albion out and about in West Sussex - I am aware that the Football in the Community team has a limited Budget but we seem to give up at Worthing.

The same seems to go for the scouting system - I have recently been at Youth football matches in West Sussex where there have been scouts from Bournemouth, Southampton and Pompey, but nobody from the Albion.

We seem good at picking up players from East Sussex, Hastings etc but not sure if we are aware of what is happening fairly close to home.

Like I say, probably limited budget/scouting networks.

In the offices of Brighton & Hove Albion, I can think of an Everton fan, a Chelsea fan, and a West Ham fan (though not much longer with the latter).
