[Albion] A Brighton / Hamburg connection - USC Paloma

Will be a couple of Hamburg mates over for Manchester City away in a couple of weeks. They've fully embraced the Albion over the years (maybe not quite Fabian, but suppose that's in keeping with half of our fanbase). Have gone over to Hamburg for a few games. Great stadium, amazing atmosphere, superb city. Fingers crossed this is the season they get back to the top flight, especially if St Pauli stay up, which seems likely.

I think there's still a couple of Hamburg stickers in The Evening Star

I put some around a few years ago. I met a guy called Jens outside the Queens heads having a beer, about 10 years ago, turned out he was an HSV sth. We got on so well, met after for more beer, he loved Brighton so much that he came over the following year and has done ever since, often bringing family and friends, staying in Worthing and loving The Welly in Shoreham. He's a legend! I've been to stay at his house and watch HSV, strangely enough the last game before lockdown. He loves Attilla even though he's St Pauli. He's a top bloke and massive Albion now, with an Albion flag on a pole on his garage. Good old Jensy boy!

That sounds brilliant. How many people were there?

I would say 350.
