Good to see some improvements on this front. Would still like to see more Albion presence in town - murals, billboards, bunting, whatever it might be. Make it known to visitors that the city prides itself on its football club and vice versa. I appreciate we’ll never reach Napoli levels but the club should be felt throughout Brighton and Hove. It’ll only help cement the support of future generations, and, as a bonus, will probably piss off a few plastic glory hunters round these parts too.

Yes. Well done, presumably, the council. We need as much presence and and much visibility as we can get

Agree with this. The folks behind Dogma magazine have commissioned a couple of murals which is great but would love to see more.

It would be great if they could do something on that horrible grey brown coloured bridge that connects the uni's across the Lewes Road. I can see how logistically it may be difficult though!

give some little erks a few rattle cans of blue and white and get them to graffiti it. Council will do f all about it and club won’t get prosecuted. The power of seagulls emblems throughout the town/s folks is in the hands of the artists.

Very much so, it seems the artist just don't seem to be Brighton fans. Remember when a massive one of Marcus Rashford appeared, in a United shirt, made me wonder why no one has gone to the effort with a Brighton player.

I was thinking something a bit nicer than BHAFC scrawled across it in uneven lettering. This is the bridge, it would look good with the club badge in the middle and Sussex By The Sea written. Or even some of the bunting they put along Western Road. I think they put that up for the Europa matches, they'll prob be gone at the end of the season.

Weren't the banners put up when we were still playing in Europa games?

Yes they were. It's nice that they are still up. Hopefully they cannot afford to take them down.
Maybe it looks much worse in the flesh (I may have seen it myself, can't remember), but I actually quite like that bridge.I was thinking something a bit nicer than BHAFC scrawled across it in uneven lettering.

I’m always surprised at the amount of people wearing Albion gear around town.

I can't got out without seeing the badge on some item of clothing somewhere. It's great, hats, coats, hoodies, kids in their shirts, it is an everyday occurrence at the moment and I love it!

think you’re a bit dismissive of some of the street artists. I hate the general tacky scrawl that’s frequently seen, but there are also some unbelievably talented artists as well. Anyhow doubt it will stay looking like it does now for long once all the ‘taggers’ get hold of it and the concretes gets a nice shitty smog tinge to itI was thinking something a bit nicer than BHAFC scrawled across it in uneven lettering.

It looks dull, imposing and boring when I go along Lewes Road and see it. The shape is nice though!

I'm not at all. I'm saying that it needs a street artist to do it, rather than some 'erks' with spray cans that just scrawl BHAFC across it. It needs the people who do the 'Dogma' stuff to do it.
Incidentally the Lewes Road is going to be resurfaced over the next couple of weeks, so if anyone knows anyone who can get some mobile scaffolding & can do a bit of gorilla art on a bridge over a main road without being seen.....
It's just a nice thought in my head, that it would look good travelling along the Lewes Road towards the Amex.

Hey let’s paint the town blue and white
The Pavilion should definitely be lit up in blue and white whenever Brighton are playing at home
