Hello All,
I am seeking help from Albion supporters for a research project on Falmer entitled 'Home' at Last? which I am undertaking as part of my Masters degree course in Sport, Media and Culture at the University of Brighton.
The study will look at a number of issues around the club’s temporary ‘home’ grounds since the departure from the Goldstone and the pending move to Falmer. I am particularly interested in finding out the views of a cross section of Albion supporters around the following issues / questions:
The impact of the various relocations on both your support and general support for the club
The experiences and feelings of attending games at the club’s different ‘home’ grounds in recent years in terms of facilities, atmosphere, travel, enjoyment etc
What does the idea of a community stadium and its location in Falmer mean to supporters?
How will the move to Falmer affect your support for the club and how it will affect or change the profile of the club’s support in terms of size, location, class, age, gender etc?
As part of my research I am looking for a small group of supporters representing a range of age groups and geographical locations across Brighton & Hove and Sussex to take part in an informal focus group to discuss the above and any other related issues / questions at the Sportsman pub on Saturday May 8th following Albion’s final home game of the season against Yeovil Town. It will really not be much different from the usual post match pub discussion! I’d hope to get things started around 5-15pm and be finished by 6-30pm at the latest.
If you are interested in taking part in my research I would love to hear from you. You can contact me in the first instance to register your interest either by e-mail at J.D.Essex@brighton.ac.uk or by telephone on 07763129021.
