Albion a hipster club!

Sorry but is being a hipster club a good thing then? Where were all these hipsters when we were shit?

Gazing at their shoes.

Does this mean the kiosks will become breakfast cereal bars?

For a properly hipster club, see Dulwich Hamlet.

For a properly hipster club, see Dulwich Hamlet.

And see also the mob across the way in Croydon with their team full of beards and Ultras.

(Loved the description of them on the Huddersfield Town world Palace match report).

I do not want our beloved club to be associated with anything that lot have pioneered or done before.

According to a Guardian article written in 2015:

"........through no great fault of their own, certain football clubs have become symbols of football hipsterdom and many of them seem to have a lot in common: an almost blanket lack of on-field success, a history of anti-establishmentarianism, the status of plucky underdog, a nice away shirt, hated rivals they regard as sellouts, trendy sponsors (or ideally, no sponsors at all), subsidised tickets, ties to various charities, a good relationship with their local community, and a tradition of grand gestures and tolerance towards minorities often traduced by supporters of more “mainstream” clubs".

Oh dear, I really like that. I see they're playing at the Undercover Festival.

There seems to be a lot of strange ideas on here of what is and isn't "hipster". But I think we can all agree on beards, especially for the ladies.

Read an article about 'Hipster clubs'.

St Pauli will always probably be the most Hipster. They also mentioned Rayo Vallecano in Madrid, Dulwich Hamlet too

I'd be interested to see your list of ways that "hipsters" have ruined the city. While you mull that over I'll give you a few examples of how old Brightonians have ruined the city:

- allowing huge swathes of old Brighton to be demolished, e.g. Churchill Square, Edward Street, North Street, Queen's Road, etc.
- not maintaining the seafront infrastructure including the West Pier and Madeira arches; and the green railings on Hove seafront
- not preventing their football club from being asset-stripped and nearly destroyed
