Are you still proud to be a Seagull?

[cheshunt seagull]

Am I proud to be a fan? Yes and always will be

Am I proud of the the club's performance this season? Absolutely not... but then I wasn't proud of what I saw on the pitch in 1973, 1986, 1992, 1996, 1998 and so on. However, I am still here and, outside my family, the club is still the thing in my life most likely to inspire emotion, whether that is joy, frustration or, as this season, anger.

I stood on my seat at scumland after seeing them torn apart 5-0,showing the palarse my blue and white striped shirt as I CLAPPED off my team that had let ME down.
I was proud to be Albion that day and still hope we can pull it round.So yes still proud and still optomistic

 

[Biscuit]

Brighton through and through, will be to the day I die but I know we can be better than this.. proud of the name but not of the players or the board right now.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Of course I will always be proud to support Albion. I've got blue and white veins in me, my mum and dad have been supporting this club nearly all their lives so we'll always be proud to be a seagull nothing will change that.

 

[withdeanwombat]

Of course.

 

[OzMike]

Has never been any other team, I think it picked me rather than the other way round, if you catch my drift.

 

[vlbtc_seagull]

Wouldnt change my Blue & White Stripes for the world.
Even at this time Im proud to be a seagull always have been, always will be.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Agree with all the sentiment on here - I proudly tell people who ask that I am a Brighton fan.

We're having a poor season - made worse because it was throbbing with potential after last year and in the shadow of the new stadium - but we've had them before and frankly, as a club over the years, we've yo-yo'ed between Div 3 and 4 most of the time with the odd foray into Div 2 and one glorious spell in the top flight.

 

[OzMike]

Group hug anyone?

 

[Dandyman]

Of course - which is why going from 7th to relegation fodder hurts so much.

This season counts as probably the worst for board decisions since the 1990s, but we are still Albion even if faced with Accrington on a Tuesday night.

 

[Slough Seagull]

100% - always have been, always will be.

 

[Mendoza]

maybe not so much proud at this moment in time, but I always will be a fan, whatever happens, the pride is dented for sure, but there will be good times to even out this bad time, surely?

I was proud the chant I invented on Saturday got an hounarable mention in todays Argus

 

[upthealbion1970]

Always have been, always will be and my 6 year old son i'm pleased to say is following suit!!

How did it go?

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I got abused by a random old guy for wearing a Brighton shirt in the village i live in, which is home to about 50 nearly dead people and me and is about 100miles from Brighton. Christ knows who he supported, he just said i was a disgrace for supporting such a shit team. That is how bad it is at the moment.

He couldn't possibly be more wrong. The disgrace would have been to stop supporting your club just because the team is shit - but of course some people will never understand that.

Haven't we all met tossers who say they "support" the multinationals such as Moan U "because they're the best", sidestepping questions of whom they support in those (unfortunately rare) seasons when they finish second or third? Luckily we've got a club we can be proud to support because of what we've all done in the past 12 years, no matter what happens on the field.

 

[Mendoza]

How did it go?

tis my signature, I also quite enjoyed the chant

Shrewsbury, Shrewsbury, we're the famous Brighton Hove Albion and we're going to Shrewsbury

 

[EastbourneGull]

I have friends who support Man U, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea etc. In every respect I regard them as good friends - except in a footballing context, in which case they are parasites.

They have not a trace of emotional DNA linking them to the teams they support. They rarely if ever watch their teams except on Sky. Their eyes glaze over at the very mention of BHA. Actually I pity them because they don't really understand what it really means to support a club like ours. Roller coaster ride it may be, I've lost count of the number of weekends ruined by bad results - and this season has been the worst for a decade.

I go to about 80% of home games...it's nearly April and I've seen them win twice. Being a Seagulls supporter is very special - but I wouldn't expect the above mentioned friends to appreciate that.

Actually this thread is really quite uplifting!

 

[The Oldman]

At 67 years old how can I change my lifetimes allegience? My Dad also a lifetime supporter. Proud to be an Albion man. Sorry but I still find "Seagulls" a bit new!

 

[Caveman]

I've just cut my head off and its true i have blue and white blood.

 

[Barrow Boy]

Of course I am, altogther now........
