[Albion] How did we / Brighton do today?

[Hovegull]

My neighbour knows I am a fan so when I run into her she normally knows the last result so we can have a conversation. The day after the Forest 7-0 game though she cheerfully asked how we got on yesterday…it was a a shorter chat than normal.

My colleagues who have no interest in football always ask too - it’s good for small talk I find

Conversely, I’m frequently accosted on the way to a game, in colours, with “Hope you do well today”, to which my reply is usually “I’m not actually playing”.

I got accosted in Amsterdam when we played Ajax. This ‘accosting’ was done by, ahem, a lady of pleasure who was interested in my seagull head. Football was definitely not on the agenda.

I remember it happening to me on the way back from an Oscar Garcia match which was so boring (and I'd had a skinful) that I literally couldn't remember the result, let alone the score. Quite embarrassing actually in he moment.

I love it when I'm asked. I like the eagerness, almost ingratiating. I half expect them to add "oh I wish I could go to the footballs". Then I could say "one day you will. All will be well" . Then they have a little cry.

For the City home game I was taking my daughter to visit Birmingham University. I was watching it on my phone as we stopped for a Balti. When we conceded there was an air of inevitability, so I said f*** it let's have a look at the city. My phone couldn't pick up a signal for updates. As we got on the train a 4 Wolves fans saw my Brighton hat and cheered 'Yow Brighton just took the lead!' - bloody marvellous.
Living in London people often stop me to tell me how brilliant the Albion are.

Back in September 2000, I didn't know the score to our game as had been on a long train journey, back in Brighton wandered past a pub, lovely sunny evening, saw some guys in Albion shirts drinking outside and asked them how Brighton had got on. "Won 6-2" they said, "and he scored twice", pointing at our recent signing Nathan Jones. I vaguely recognised him from the Argus, so shook his hand and welcomed him to the club like the star struck fool I was, before carrying on my way

Bit harsh.
