Why do YOU support the Albion?

[Taybha]

I found the toilets at the Goldstone a great meeting place and then drifted onto watching the football

there was nothing quite like having a slash and watching fag butts drift by on the tide of piss ,happy long gone days full of wonderfull memories

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

It's not my fault. I got intoduced to it and that was it. I have tried everything to stop but I just cant. Help

 

[Sweeney Todd]

When I was going through my homosexual phase, my dad took me to the Goldstone and I fell in love with Ken Beamish.

 

[Garage_Doors]

Because My Daddy worked for the club & because I'm Brighton born and bred.

 

[newhaven seagull 85]

hearing the roar from the Goldstone ground sat in my back garden by portslade station made the hairs on the back of my neck stick up and i've followed brighton ever since.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

My Uncle took me to my first game a titanic clash against Tottenham back in the 70s and i was hooked. Shoreham by the Sea born, Much to the annoyance of my dad (scummer) you have to support your local team,and be proud. Moved up north and loved being an away Seagull..............

Scummy northern monkey "Brighton why Brighton ?"

Me "Have you been ?"

Scummy northern monkey "No, its full of poofs"

Me "and you sir come from a shithole and have never worked a day in your life"

Me "Now Feck Off ya Northern monkey"

Me................Running away fast quickly pursued by 12 knuckle draggers

AAAHHHH the joy

 

[Franks Wild Years]

I have no choice.
Born in Brighton so support Brighton.
It's in my jeans.

 

[Badger]

Sussex born and bred so that put me in the catchment area for two teams: Brighton and Man Utd. It was a tricky decision but I felt Brighton had a lot more going for them.

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

My real team is Huddersfield though

really?

you never mention that

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Sussex Born and Bred (Horsham) wasn't aware we had a choice! Now my two boys (aged 3 & 6) are getting the same message, you don't have a choice, you're stuck with it, deal with it.

... and if I hear "but Dad, all the other boys have Chelsea shirts" once more I'll start taking them to away games as well to really teach them a lesson!

 

[Pretty pink fairy]

I've only supported the albion for 5 years but there's something about constantly fighting against the odds and being a team that can play utter turd (losing 1-0 to 9 man Walsall last season) and suddenly transforming to a wonder team (beating Man City in the following match).
So other than location why do YOU support the Albion?

p.s Bring on the Gills!

time to change your nappy.

 

[Mackenzie]

I went to my first game as a 5 year old, been a fan ever since.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

really?

you never mention that

Its called sarcasm......

I am not very good at it

 

[upthealbion1970]

its because of my mum, she took me to my first game at the goldstone around 76/77 (i think) and the stripes have been in my blood ever since. fortunately i have done the deed and passed this on to my 6yr old boy. also born in brighton.

Off topic but have you belted out 'Hersham Boys' before?

 

[Philzo-93]

I Know I Am
I'm Sure I Am
I'm Brighton Till I Die

 

[scooter1]

Brighton born and bred. Despite glory hunting flirtations with Liverpool and Villa as a youngster, Brighton is where I watched my first game and now there is no contest. My little one is 10 months old and he'll have no choice. He WILL be a Brighton fan until such a time as he can afford his own football shirts and then he can defect if he wishes, but he'll be back - we always gravitate back

 

[defrocked priest]

First match at Goldstone when I was ten(see my profile). Have been a faithful supporter ever since and have never wavered into supporting a "second" club.
