Oddest place you've met a fellow fan

[happypig]

What's the most unusual or distant place you've bumped into a fellow supporter ?
Mine was Darling Harbour in Sydney a few years ago. I was sitting in the sun in my Brighton shirt when a voice said to me "how we doing this year ?"
It was a fellow fan who had lived there for many years but still followed them via the internet. We had a few minutes chat about the Seagulls and clearly he knew his stuff.

apparently he did follow them very much if he had to ask!!

Met fellow fans at a waterpark in Tenerife,on a boat in Greece,at the Nou Camp in Barcelona,Telford shopping centre,Butlins Minehead and Messonghi in Corfu.
How diverse is that?

The bloke was asking another Albion fan his opinion rather than posing a question about updating him with the club's progress.

I saw an Albion shirt in the south of France in 2006 when visiting my Dad.

Met a bunch of Albion fans who were wearing their stripes at the top of the Sydney Tower, Australia, in 1997.

I met two Brighton fans in San Antonio Ibiza, one had a seagull tattoo on his foot i think. Not that odd i suppose.

Orlando florida....Tenerife....and San fransico all because i was wearing the shirt and i was also offered money at Gatwick Airport for the 1st skint sponsored shirt that was weird..don't think the person even followed football they wanted the record label

Running the New York Marathon 2005, quality sussex by the sea singing running through Manhatten. I hit the wall soon after, must have been the excitement.

Met some in Es Cana Ibiza 6 or 7 years ago wearing the red and black striped Skint shirts.

I was there in 2003 so maybe the same guys? One was mixed raist and a bit of a nutter (not in a bad way) the other one never really spoke.
To be honest though I'm always pretty surprised to meet a fellow Brighton fan, I was in Gardenstowne near Aberdeen and saw a car with a seagulls badge in the window, I was like a kid who had spotted santa...very sad.

 

[sureyyathegodofthephonein]

At Thorpe Park about 5 years ago he was in the queue for Colosus he had the Maroon away shirt i had no choice but to say hello very friendly he was too
I once saw a Young Lad wearing a Brighton shirt outside York Minster which was strange

Met quite a few at Gatwick over the years whilst wearing the stripes and have even had the pleasure of meeting some of the scum there as well.

....everyone in Ibiza is either a nutter or unable to speak though.

On holiday in Dublin last year.

On a related note, had a good chat in the middle of Times Square with a couple of Plymouth fans who had noticed my Albion shirt back in 2004.

I was away in Wales doing work related stuff for the play off final at the Millenium.I managed to blag the afternoon off and walked 4 miles to a local pub in the middle of NOWHERE in the hope that they might have SkySports.

When i walked in i found 3 other Albion fans in the stripes sat round a table!
