Adam Pitts,drummer in Lawson and the reason my Daughter came to the Amex as I discovered. A really good bloke even though he is a drummer and has time to chat to both me about football and Daughter about the band. No ego at all.

Steve Ferrone (drummer with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers). When they played during the half-time show at the Superbowl, he wore an Albion hat.

Johnathan Pearce and his 2 sons are in the same 1901 lounge. Think he is a Bristol city fan, but has a love for the albion as he jumps up when we score. His 2 boys are defiant fans.

It's a tenuous list. With the exception of Des Lynam, Fat Boy, the late Norman Wisdom , Sid Sloane and possibly one of the Rizzle Kicks (?) the rest of them seem to have been occasional or champagne fans at best.

How many were at Hereford? That's what I want to know.

As I said, Peter Cleall was a regular fan as he stood in front of me many times. And Jamie Theakston certainly is, I met him at a party once and he knew a lot about the Albion and was clearly a regular (knew even more about Sussex)

Not sure that being at Hereford is any guide though: I wasn't at Hereford and I've been going for nearly 50 years and I was a STH at Goldstone, Priestfield and Withdean.

Roger Daltrey is a STH, but I think he's more of an Arsenal fan.

Can't believe no one has used this as an excuse to post the Louise Redknapp or Frankie Bridge in brighton shirt photos.

Or Katie Price when she was known as Jordan, not as nice as the 2 you have mentioned obviously, but there was a photo of Jordan in an Albion kit.

(John) Aden Gillett who played the role of Jack Maddox on the BBC series The House of Eliott . . . . .

Well, I used to work with him at the Royal Pavillion Tavern (Shades bar) in 1979, and bumped into him at Priestfield once.

Blimey, this barrel is very shallow; I think I scraped the bottom of it with the tip of my nose when I peeked into it :lolol:

ps - yes, I used to see 'Duffy' at the Goldstone often.

I'm sure I saw Leo Sayer being interviewed once, proclaiming to be an Albion fan.

There was no mention of Shoreham Airport though.

I thought Pearce was a Chelsea fan?

Don't worry it was a tongue-in-cheek comment as a typical yardstick by which some fans are happy to judge others. Not to be taken seriously.
