Why do YOU support the Albion?

[robbo2u]

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!

 

[Braders]

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

 

[CHAPPERS]

I like the kit.

 

[Set of Tracksuits]

I was forced into it by my father when I was young and vulnerable, like being entered into an arranged marriage with a shabby family of underachievers and ne'er-do-wells.

 

[Twinkle Toes]

For me, it's all about THE GLORY.

 

[Scoffers]

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

Same here, why else would you go through all that pain

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

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

 

[The Grockle]

By complete accident really. In 1994/5 my Dad gave me and my brother a choice between Palace, Wimbledon and Brighton, we chose Brighton and I’ve followed them ever since, only ever went to the Goldstone about six times but always enjoyed the North stand despite some horrific performances!
My brother lost faith in 1997 and now supports Chelsea!

Because we'll be in Europe in our second season at Falmer, and I'm a glory hunter

 

[Horsham Gull]

my dad took me to the Goldstone a couple of times then i was hooked

 

[narly101]

I'm the bastard love child of Brian Horton and Tony Grealish

 

[Paul Reids Sock]

My Dad is from Sussex and supported them all his life ... and my local team was palace - I'm not stupid

 

[bhaexpress]

I was taken to see Brighton beat Birmingham who were one league up 2-0 in the old League Cup and I have followed them since.

Frank Skinner always used to say that you should get a map, stick a pin in where you were born, find the nearest league team to your birthplace and that is it, you support them and no one else till the day you die.

And look at him; he supports West Brom. What a fool.

I would have had to support Coventry according to that logic. No thanks!

 

[The Large One]

Me too.

 

[Harold]

Support passed down by my Dad in 1974/75. Great early memories of standing at the front of the East Terrace on a wooden crate, staring in wonder at the North Stand. Even with all the frustration, and the stress of the 90's, the pleasure I've gotten from supporting the Albion has been worth it. Cheers Dad (got rest him).

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

I did'nt decide to support Brighton, Brighton chose me to be born in.

Poor English but you get my drift.

 

[Chicken Run]

Me too.

And me.
