Is it time to lose Hove ?

[Tyrone Biggums]

I don't think it should be dropped, but watching the Football League Show for all intense purposes we are just Brighton.

I've only ever heard people who support the club add the Hove part.

The rest of the world just says Brighton.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Brighton Albion?


NAH! Sounds gash!

Well we could drop the Albion too. We could be called "the Brighton RazorBack Soccer Team" which would be awesome

 

[Insel affe]

I think the other question you should ask her is when did football become soccer!!!!

she is a yank fella


we were called Brighton Rangers once

I think Hove should stay, you got any more pictures of that wedding by the way?

 

[albionalbino]

Move to Hove.

 

[FOOTSKI]

"With the Brighton soccer team moving closer to Falmer, and moving further away from Hove are Brighton going to drop the Hove from there name ?"

What is this soccer you talk of?

 

[perth seagull]

After being granted city status, isn't the city actually called Brighton & Hove?

 

[Insel affe]

I think Hove should stay, you got any more pictures of that wedding by the way?

I think it should to, do you mean the german,and arab psychobilly fancy dress wedding ? if so yes, but im in the rest !!

 

[Notters]

Ban him!

I accidentally voted yes on my damned iphone

 

[EastbourneGull]

There's a precedent - AFC Bournemouth used to be called Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic. With a town named Boscombe you couldn't blame them for dropping it.

Readers of results on radio and TV give out our full name I think.

 

[house your seagull]

i am continually perplexed as to why the club do not push the media to use BHA or at least Albion when describing us.

i rarely use the singular term 'Brighton' to describe us, i feel it's disrespectful to Hove and Hovians, and I'm from brighton.

Now you've confused me - she or fella ?

[Brian Fantana]

By your wife's *cough* logic, shouldn't we have dropped both 'Brighton' and 'Hove' when we left the Goldstone, due to our 'home' ground being nowhere near either?

 

[xenophon]

The club's spiritual home is in Hove, they'll be rioting between the bushes on the Upper Drive

 

[Jimmy's gonna get ya!]

Surely then, as the ground at Falmer infamously steps into Lewes district 'territory', we should be....

Brighton and Lewes discrict Albion?

 

[EastbourneGull]

We wouldn't want to lose our status as having the second longest name in the English football leagues.

Yup, that's the one. That photo made me chuckle.

But if someone outside of Brighton asked who I supported I'd have to say Brighton...as The Albion and BHA are a bit vague. Likewise for the media.
