I never thought I'd see the day but there really is an element of 'glory-hunters' around the club these days. We even get 'Tourists'!! Us - little old Brighton?!! All very welcome and exciting times.
It got me thinking, when we built it, those that came included a fair number of Johnny Come Lately's or JCL's as they are fondly called. Which is fine, all welcome at church etc and not talking about those who couldn't get in at Withdean or returning from Goldstone era or too young.
But, with the aforementioned in mind, is there now a new category of supporter e.g. "the J-CEL's" (Johnny Came Extremely Late) or some other acronym that suits?
And at which point in time do you cross-categories (which are?) or are you forever 'classed' / it's a one-off thing depending on when and how you ended up supporting the Albion?
Thoughts? All tongue-in-cheek of course...
