Me either, but all sorts of people when they talk to me about Brighton now refer to the club as "we"
Can't remember ever talking to them about Brighton before, especially when they usually wear top 4 premier league replica tops.

My boys had second teams Aldershot and York city,you can stick your premiere league up your Woolwich
I had Worthing FC as well, but when they were losing 0-3 I was straight in the club house for a pint and final scores.

Mine is Crystal Palace,
They'll be a good non league team one day.
I'm a little disappointed no one has been daft enough to ask me, as I want to put them in their place
Any chance of a spare for the Palace match?
Can you wait until the dates are sorted, not sure what else is on?

There's a group of old uni mates who have stuck together for the last 10 years or so. The reactions have been mixed:
Wigan - Genuine Fan - Congratulations mixed with self pity
Man City - Genuine Fan (ST holder for 20 odd years) - Congratulations and offered me a ticket if I couldn't get one
Charlton - Genuine Fan (although barely attends) - Congratulations and a showed some some knowledge of our history
Leeds - Genuine Fan (although barely attends) - Congratulations but game me loads of stick after Leeds game
Liverpool 1 - Goes to one or two games a year - Smug Congratulations
Liverpool 2 - As above
United - Proper Plastic - Didn't even know we were promoted
Sunderland - AWOL
Personally I think that just about sums it up. The "traditional" big clubs (and I don't count Man City in that) have some exceptionally self absorbed fans but most others fans, particularly those who have seen a relegation or two, are predominantly a decent bunch.

Reading this thread is embarrassing, come across as a bunch of snobs.
I would prefer being surrounded by 'new' Albion fans than the nightmare of that Arsenal cup game a couple of years back. Closest I've come to being thrown out a game for about 20 years, no thanks to that again.

Where has this whole thing come from that people can "get you tickets"?! I hear it a bit from people who never go to games e.g. "I've got a mate who can get me Spurs tickets" ....co incidentally that never seems to materialise. Get your own bloody ticket! Where has this whole concept come from?

In fairness my daughter is glad that her friends at school are starting to know who we are.
She has had 6 years of her peers genuinely having no clue who Brighton are.

Absolutely this, with bells on
No, to be honest apart from occasionally watching MOTD, i take very little notice of the Premier League.
That will change next season of course.
When I'm Prime Minister it will be the LAW that you can only support the team nearest to where you were born or grew up.
There'll be random spot checks, inspection of documents and inquisitions outside Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge etc and people found to be breaking the law will be forced to buy a season ticket for the club they should be supporting.
(Unless they're originally from Croydon in which case they'll be allowed in).
