Why do YOU support the Albion?

[FamilyGuy]

Because I live in Sussex

Because lower league football has more meaning than Premier League

Because of the great time we had in 1982/83

 

[crodonilson]

Because I'm crazy!

 

[auschr]

I am a glory hunter

 

[SirDouglasLoft]

Why not?

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

My Team. Right or Wrong.

 

[Safe.]

Withdean, just love it.

 

['sladegull]

because they are my local side and I'm Sussex born and bred

Me too , that and the fact that I am a complete masochist :hammer:

 

[Mr. Jolly]

Me too.

Im Brighton born and bred so there is ONLY one choice.

Same here. Dad took me to my first game in 82, east stand on a wobbly stool

 

[Smithy24]

because im a glory supporter

 

[Deleted User X18H]

Me too.

And me. I can truly say I support the nearest senior team to the place I was born and raised!

 

[shwoody1]

my old grandad god bless him took me to watch scarbrough in cup1977, that was enough!

 

[Everest]

Because my great grandad (Edgar Everest - the father of pro football in Brighton) was there at the very beginning of Brighton Utd. Good enough?

 

[cheshunt seagull]

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

When I was 13 I had a framed photo of Ken by my bedside but I didn't realise the significance. My connection with the Albion had started a few months earlier when my family moved into a house in the Old Shoreham Road.

 

[Husty]

Used to live around the corner from withdean back in the 'glory days' of back to back promotions so got hooked back then and not coming from a particularly footballing family that had just moved down from solihul, i just sorta became an albion fan like that, been going ever since to varying degrees

 

[Lander]

From brighton, and when we were at gillingham my uncle got given some comps and ever since then really been going!

 

[Paddy B]

Live in Sussex and is the closest team to where I live.

Not always the case though I was brought up in Kent and supported Liverpool as a boy (in the 70's when everyone did) but when we moved to Sussex in 85 I gradually starting going to the Goldstone more & more and got hooked.

 

[dougdeep]

Brighton born...

 

[fosters headband]

Moved to Brighton when I was a twelve year old in 1957 and went along to watch the likes of Jimmy Langley, Frankie Howard and Peter Harburn.
Got hooked on the Albions brand of prawn sarnies and have supported them ever since.

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

Born in Belfast, brought up in Shepherd's Bush ( where I used to see Charlie Oatway play in the street ) so logically I support Brighton!

Childrens Country Holiday Fund sent my brother & I to stay with a lovely family in Burgess Hill & they took me to a game.... against Brentford so I had to choose between the two as it was my first match..some choice! I was about 6 or 7 then.I'm 42 now, you'd have thought I'd grow out of it but I didn't.

Because I was born in Brighton and as a 7/8 year old made the 1/2 mile treck from amhurst cresent to the goldstone with my older brothers, I could not imagine following another team even though I don't get to Withdean much, a season ticket is very much on the cards at Falmer.
