We were looking forward to our return this season as last season (August 2011) we had a brilliant time. Met loads of ace Brighton fans and people, good drink after the match in the home end stand opposite the away end and even stayed in touch through facebook with a couple of Brighton fans.
However things have gone wrong recently. The big lad Marc (in the video) lost his wife 2 weeks ago. She died aged 27 and we are gutted for him and her family. He shared our hotel room, some of you will remember him. Big lad having banter with the Brighton kids after the match and on the train.
Then last Sunday, the driver my best mate fell off a ladder and broke his leg in 5 places and he was the driver. Brighton trip cancelled!
Anyway, this video has a good 2 minutes of Brighton half way through and also a picture of Marc and his wife at Coventry
Hope to see Brighton in the Premier League as you deserve it. Great fans, friendly, Premier League ground, been through hard times etc and as I said, we met loads and loads of ace Brighton fans during our weekend stay. The only unfriendly Brighton fans I came across were posters on this site!
Hope you enjoy my video of Blackpool fans all over England. See if you can guess the grounds and best of luck after tomorrow.
