Odd places you've found pubs full of Brighton pics and memorabilia in... Addingham

[hitony]

I woke up this morning to a text from my bro, he'd been to a pub on Addingham (West Yorkshire nr Ilkley) and found it full of Seagulls pics and memorabilia... Turns out the landlord is ex pat and a massive fan.

At 1st I wondered if Brighton Bill (former landlord of The Junction, Baildon) had taken it on but it looks like he's now doing this:

Where have you bumped into any expat fans running pubs / cafes etc?

The Swan is a decent real ale pub, well worth a visit if you're visiting the dales (or even on route to Bolton if you don't mind a massive detour!)

The Swan Addingham

Small world, my brother and sister in law live in Addingham (they have done for over 25 years now) and we go in the Swan every time we are up there, they (bro & sis in law) both stem from Brighton as well (port hall road) as do I so we do always have lots of things "Brighton" to talk about.

So popped into the Swan in Addingham on Tuesday night. Encouraged by the Albion paraphernalia on show (an Albion pint glass, a pennant and a pair of BHA boxing gloves) behind the bar......
Me "I hear this is the big Albion stronghold in Addingham"
Barmaid "y'what love"
Me: "the landlords a big Brighton fan?"
Barmaid "oh I don't know he's out at a meeting"

We had a a decent pint and left. Looked like a good pub but a bit empty the night we were there! Worth a visit if you are staying in the dales for the Leeds game - not sure what they'd make of southerners dressed as the Village People though they do have a folk music night on Tuesdays.

Strangely, found a barbers shop in Gawler, South Australia called Fat Boy Trims with albion stuff and all blue and white. Owner was a gooner...

Someone on here will remind me of the owners name but there used to be a bar in Ibiza full of 83 cup final stuff, I think it was called The Brighton Tavern.
We were pretty drunk the night we came across it so went back the next day for a closer look when it was quite and had a long chat with the landlord who was
from Brighton, he very kindly gave us lunch on the house as we talked about the exploits of 83,that was in 85, nice guy.
Not Albion but I did come across a Rangers shirt signed by Gordon Smith in a pub in Amsterdam.

The Fox at Corfe Castle in Dorset and The Sun at Leintwardine in Herefordshire each used to have photographs of ME on the walls. Sadly, no longer so.

Not Albion related, though.

Usually happens when someone leaves without paying

Had Albion shirt in our last bar/club, but ive not seen the thing since we moved to new place...still packed somewhere...

This place (although we did know it was there) in Tenerife. Even had a drink with Kerry Mayo there.

I suggest all visiting fans pop in after the Leeds game!

Nobody ever left the Sun at Leintwardine without paying. In Flossie's time, you had to pour your own beer from the barrel in the kitchen and leave the cash in a Tupperware tub. Flossie was 94 when she died in 2009 - and the pub changed hands.

Er, he's known to US as 'Bradford Bill' shurely!?

The Mildnay Arm's in Queen's Camel near Yeovil at the end of the 90's had a landlord who was a BHA ST holder loads of stuff up a top boozer to .

This is our local and the landlord was a massive WBA fan. The Brighton stuff was ours. We used to hang our scarves up in the bar if Brighton had won a game. The Mildmay has had several different owners since then and sadly Mike, the old landlord, died of cancer last year.

Sounds a brilliant pub

Bad news, that Seagulls friendly out post in Yorkshire, The Swan at Addingham has a 'To Let' sign up. Maybe the Tuesday night folk music was n't such a success after all.
