In conversation what do you call our beloved club?

[Early Doors]

THE albion. It really grates when I hear people refer to us as Albion (I think that's just my age though )

 

[Kazenga <3]

Depends who you are talking to; to fellow Albion supporters its 'Albion' to anyone else its 'Brighton'.

 

[fire&skill]

Brigh'on. Dropped 't'.

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

Almost always THE Albion, or if talking to someone that has no idea who I support Brighton.

 

[Braders]

The Albion OR The Super Seagulls -

 

[seagullondon]

[Horsham Gull]

Bumders

 

[Cian]

Brighton, although would use The Albion a fair bit, problem is people assume West Brom or even Burton (due to Clough)

 

[BHAryan]

I refer to us as Gods starting 11

Careful, we don't want to encourage Palace to post on this thread!

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Brighton tho Albion sometimes too

 

[Lincoln Imp]

American Express people like to call us BHAFC, which is utterly tragic. Please always refer to that organisation - or indeed organization - as AE in future.

Same here. There's a good reason for us being 'The Albion' to most fans.... because traditionally we represented two towns, not one so strictly speaking Brighton is wrong (ok, so it's a city now and all that but still don't forget Hove).

Brighton, which is difficult enough when telling non English people. Albion/seagulls just wouldnt work, they would have no clue as to what im talking about.

Reminds me of many years ago. I used to work for Amex and we had some American visitors over and we took them to football at The Goldstone. As we entered Hove, the following conversation took place...

American visitor: Oh, we're in Hove, I thought we were going to see Brighton
Me: No, no, it's Brighton AND Hove
American: Oh right, who are The Albion then?
Me: No, it's Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club
American: Riiiight. (long pause).....who are The Seagulls then?
