[Football] Fan base growing!

[slimes]

Being in the Premier league for sometime now.. playing good football.. having plenty of international players...
Our popularity is increasing!

Walking in Asia wearing a Brighton shirt.. (pedro) I get constant feedback that Mitoma is amazing.. I'm not in Japan.

Knock off shirts in 2 shops I walked around in the market yesterday..

Our fan base is increasing!

This will surely having a great effect on more sponsorship and advertising.

I was having breakfast in a hotel in Jakarta a couple of months back and there was an Indonesian kid, 17 or 18, wearing last seasons shirt with Ferguson on the back

I can't say I see anyone else wearing Albion shirts in Auckland (except my son), but at least everyone now recognises the shirt - home and away. That is definitely progress.

A club's social media following is a good indication of its perceived size globally.

This article from the CIES Football Observatory back in June shows that we had a combined following of 8.3m. That's an increase of 3.4 million on the previous year. Well done admin.

But to be classed as a member of the big 6, a club needs a following of 100m+.

Real Madrid lead the way globally with 410.9m.

There was a teenager wearing an Albion home shirt in Pizza Pilgrims, Brighton on Sunday.

PB will be more interested in this social media following than our travel problems

Probably need my eyes tested as initially I didn’t think it was a big deal, I see plenty of kids wearing Brighton shirts in Asda

Walking round resorts in Mexico in half term in my Albion top so many locals shouting Seagulls. And spotted a kiddie on the plane back to Birmingham with an Albion shirt with Gross on the back. Asked him if he was from Brighton and his mum said no he just loves supporting them

Was in Japan last week. They know all about us, via Mitoma. Albion images in various sports shops. & Albion kits on sale.

Walking through Walpole Park in Ealing the other week and saw a couple of kids playing footy with Mitoma shirts. Mad to think back in the 90s you'd get mocked for wearing a Brighton top in Brighton.

Which is more than can be said about the UK

I am genuinely surprised that we are above the likes of Leeds. Leeds historically are a much "bigger" club than we are.

Real Madrid lead the way globally with 410.9m.

More than Leeds? Wow.

Going on holiday in France every year, wearing an Albion t shirt, I never had any comments until we got Knockeart. Now, many French people recognise our logo. We go to a mobile home on a campsite, where Dutch and Germans stay too, so smiles from them.

Went to opening of this display during our tour out there, all four were there signing shirts, great to see so many people walk out with Hinsh shirts, to prove it isn't all Mitoma mania.

Quite surreal to see this outside on a street thousands of miles away.
