When someone did the postcode area stats for season ticket holders, Eastbourne was one of the largest concentrations of Albion fans outside the immediate Brighton & Hove area, so there are clearly more than a few hundred of you.

I seem to remember that there were a few hundred season ticket holders in each Eastbourne postcode.

Yep. I think of the main towns outside the city itself, Eastbourne was second only to Worthing. Then places like Burgess Hill :clap: and Haywards Heath. Not Crawley though.

It makes sense as they (eastbourne and worthing) are the largest towns in Sussex after Brighton and Hove.
 








From Hastings but work in Eastbourne, so I count myself as an honourary member of Eastbourne Seagulls fans. And I was also a founder member of the A21 club (formed by my brother many years ago (1992 if I remember correctly, with our 1st trip a match up at St. James Park Newcastle, we won 1 nil courtesy of a Mark Gall goal, happy times :)

Surely Crawley too? But that's never really been an Albion town, whereas I've always thought of Eastbourne & Worthing as very much Albion strongholds. As it were.

BN20, BN21, BN22, BN23, BN24 and BN26 postcodes (includes Eastbourne, Polegate and Pevensey) have 729 STHs with 68 who were on the waiting list.

Eastbourne is the largest town east of Brighton, there is Brighton everywhere.

Don't forget us at BN27....Hailsham which is practically joined at the hip with Polegate/Langley.

This, after a Saturday home game, there is probably 15 Seagull fans going back to the HMI club in the evening, we even have our own mini bus for evening matches.

Me and one of my girls are in Polegate and i've been an Albion fan since I were a little one (was originally from Brighton). (My other 4 year old says football makes her feel sick! so cant count her in lol). There are quite a few fans that get the train in at Polegate actually.
