The club is now giving out "digital trophies" to fans, as per https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/3532647/your-season-in-numbers-explained

basically you are a better fan if you are able to attend all honme and away matches. The blurb says : "Which Seagull trophy you receive will be based on your match attendance and dedication to Albion throughout the 2022/23 Premier League season, giving you the ultimate bragging rights to share on Twitter!"

  • Diamond Seagull: Attended 35+ Premier League matches throughout 2022/23
  • Gold Seagull: Attended 25+ Premier League matches throughout 2022/23
  • Silver Seagull: Attended 15+ Premier League matches throughout 2022/23
  • Bronze Seagull: Attended 5+ Premier League matches throughout 2022/23
I dont like this, its one thing showing you your stats but to rank fans in this way is a bit naff. Lots of people are dedicated fans but simply cant afford to attend all matches. Id say a fan attending 10 matvches who lives 150 miles away is as dedicated or more so than one (like me) living a mile and a half from the stadium

Im sure before long there will be cries of Oh I am a diamond Seagull I should get preference over a mere Silver Seagul for Euro tickets

All a bit "tin pot" to me
I wouldnt worry about it. Its just a bit of marketing.

Why is it based on Premier League only?

I sincerely hope that those who went to Stoke and Middlesborough receive a suitable award regardless of Prem games attended

Great to see I’m a better fan than most. You plebs should try harder.

Blimey I’ve just worked out that I travelled an average of 183 miles to each of the away games I attended.

Don’t know if I should come clean and say I didn’t see all the passes and missed an occasional goal due to over consumption and toilet breaks. I might have my status demoted!

That's me,... 11 matches living 190 miles from the Amex.

What is the reasoning for this?

Is it something to do with ticket sales, etc?

Silver Seagull…

… makes me sound 80 years old, do I get any concessions?

Meh - I travelled an average of 10,500 miles to each of the away games I attended last season.
And there was me worrying about getting a knock on the door from Greta, I’m feeling better now.
