The obvious choice would be Palace - similar distance from where I live, similar type of club.

My first club were Spurs in 1967 when I was very young and watched my first ever FA Cup final on TV. Just chose that team. Easiest big team to get to was Chelsea so saw them a few times. But that all changed in March 1972 when I discovered my beloved team.

Soup! Why didn’t I get any Soup?
Brighton & Hove United?
Brighton Wanderers?
Brighton Rovers?
Who knows
what a silly question!
If BHA didn't exist then another team from Brighton would have instead, so that one.

Born in Surrey, so it would have been Crystal Palace all the way. Altogether now: "We love you, we love you, we love you and that's the way we like it, we like it, we like it, whooa whooa whoooo, whooa, whooa, whoooo. We love you, we love you, we love you, we bounce around in our black hoodies, black hoodies, black hoodies, whoooa whooa whooo..."

When we moved to the south east from Wiltshire, my dad had got a job in Crawley. So one of the criteria for moving was that our house would be 25 miles from the office and there would be a league football team close by.
We moved to brighton, so it was this lot. If we had moved to Croydon area, it would have been palace.
So it was by sheer luck that my life has been filled with all things brighton.
Would have liked to support Chelsea though if truth be known. All those league winners, cups, overseas games, best teams in the world at your ground, nutter managers, decent ground and megalomaniac owner...what more do you need?

My family are all Arsenal fans so maybe them. However it's realistic to think I wouldn't have followed football at all. I was attracted by everything except the sport.
I grew up in Poets Corner in the 70s and people used to park their car in our road on matchdays. If the wind was right you could hear the crowd when we scored and you'd certainly see a few sights if you went to Hove Park or Hove Station at the wrong time on a Saturday. My parents didn't like football much so these blokes with their ciggies and scarves round their wrists were totally different to anything i saw normally. And I REALLY wanted to be making that noise when a goal went in. If I hadn't have grown up around it I probably wouldn't have got in to it at all and just played and followed cricket which I've always loved purely for the game and nothing else.

Spurs maybe Crawley now,followed Haywards Heath when they beat Seaford in the two legged Charity cup final many years ago I think it was 9-1 on aggregate to the Heath also Brian Powney was watching the game at Crouch Gardens. Liked Seaford as I lived in Sherwood road for nine years before moving to the Heath in 1965. Watched spurs arsenal and the scum in the past years and Aldershot a couple times I do have many Palace mates.

I don't really watch any other football other than Brighton and my sons team, so probably Abergavenny.
