When you say "where are you from?", like Des Lynam I would answer: "Ireland". If you asked me where do you live, I would answer: "Hove" (for the best part of 40 years)


QUOTE=Bry Nylon;9783928]It's time to discover just where our fanbase come from (not where you live now, but where you were brought up), in the time-honoured tradition of a POLL.

The options are:

Brighton
Somewhere else in Sussex
Somewhere outside Sussex
Lund, Sweden.

For the record, I grew up on the Weald, just outside Uckfield.[/QUOTE]

Ashington born & Bred, Storrington, Loxwood and we all end up in Worthing don't we?
I think the elsewhere fans have had it much tougher.
Back in the day, 40 minute bus ride to Worthing station then train to hove for home matches and I have no idea how we managed to get to Brighton station in time to catch the Seagulls special for long away days.

Not actually one of the options. If it was, I would have chosen it.

You said you were born near the station. That isn't Royal Sussex. That's the long-gone Buckingham Road maternity hospital, where I was born.

Not many of us meant Brighton born and bred :) at that point of the thread there wasn’t many that had mentioned being born and growing up in Brighton.

Yes I was born in Buckingham Rd, at one point in my life I ended up living in the next road.
