Best illustrated by my wedding day:

Groom: Brighton.
Bride: Brighton.
Mother of the bride: Brighton.
Father of the bride: Brighton.
Bridesmaid 1 (wife's sister): Brighton.
Bridesmaid 2: Brighton.
Best Man: Brighton.
Usher 1: Brighton.
Usher 2: Brighton.
Groom's mother: Brighton.
Groom's father: Brighton.

All apart from the final 2 are season ticket holders. My mum goes to a couple of games a season, my Dad is a cynical lapsed fan who only seems to take delight when the Albion are losing.

Crabtree that was a touching footnote, at least the cat was buried a Brighton fan.

Silly question Yorkie, but did Husband No1 end up under the patio due to his refusal to convert?

But the serious stuff:

Me: Brighton
Mum: Not really interested in football but will say Brighton if asked.
Dad: Lapsed Brentford fan.
Bro 1: Brighton
Bro 2: Not interested in footy but was dragged along to a number of games under protest (and threat of death) by two older and bigger brothers!!!

My parents look out for Brighton 'coz they want me to be happy (bless 'em).

My brother used to be a regular when we were teenagers but has no interest now - he knows what's going on because he knows I'm so into them, but doesn't really care.

Girlfriend - Brighton (no choice) and Real Madrid (she's Spanish). Can't see that ever becoming a problem, in the immediate future anyway.
 






My grandfathers supported (a) Portsmouth and (b) Charlton Athletic; but this only started when they moved from the northeast to Hampshire and South East London.

My father supported Newcastle United.

I had an uncle who supported Bournemouth (or "Boscombe" as he always called them).

Inlaws who support Barnet and West Ham.

And my sister-in-law's brother who played for Cardiff City. He's a Newport County supporter.
