Not sure really, the Albion perhaps?

Brighton

You can just post a poll on here rather than for your twitter account you know? I'll do shortly unless you'd like to?

 

[Guinness Boy]

The Albion is the only correct answer.

Depends on what company and context

Usually, I use “we” or “us” if the person listening knows I’m a Brighton fan.

If not, "The Albion" to a bloke. "Brighton" to a girl ( I suppose on some level I think they’re more likely to understand if I explain it that way)

I was going to do a poll about everyone's favourite cleaning product, but this has blown it out the water.

Depends who I'm speaking to.

Fellow Albion fan, then Albion. Anyone else, then Brighton.

This.

Kind of the same. If I'm local, or am speaking to an educated football fan it's "Albion". If I'm 'out of town' or talking to a numpty - it's "Brighton"

I'm always "off to see The Albion"

THE Albion.
Sometimes Brighton, if the person isn’t a football fan / local.

Never ‘Albion’.

Yes - absolutely - THE Albion

Brighton - and not just when I'm in the Sussex area.

In reality it's a shame we don't all support the most famous team in Amsterdam as you could have used your question and a very similar one to the OP, but with the location etc changed, and just posted one option in the poll.

That's me too. There was a move to drop the definite article when writing the name of the club but fortunately it petered out.

BHA is used only by corporate types except on car registration plates, where it is entirely acceptable.

A combination depending on who I am in Discussion with

 

[Dolph Ins]

I guess I use all of them depending on who I'm talking to.
