Please Allow me To Introduce Myself

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊



Dear Seagulls:

Having risen this morning an taken a walk up the heaths of Burling Gap,I reflected on my rather intrusive manner of entering the biz site.There for as way of introduction I will elaborate a bit about myself so the masses can have a better gauge of were I'm coming from.
I was born in Brighton,1964,I was brought to Canada at the age of three,as my father was re-asssigned there,I returned every year thereafter untill last year when my granny finally bid adieu,i'm in a cottage house in Seaford.When I was eight my Uncle took me to my first stadium match.I don't recall the team played against but I remember being completly engulfed by the atmosphere and the crackle of the excitment generated by the fans.Well,I was hooked.I,ve followed the Seagulls for thirty odd years.I,ve been thuogh the ups and the downs but I'm proud to say not once did I ever disguise my loyalty.Even in a pub full of foreign supporters,I'm a Seagull first.
I was posting on the Rivals board and was detoured to this, and I'm impressed.Sometimes I take the mickey,it's all good crack really.Politically and socially we may be miles apart,however, one thing we "lot"" can all agree is love for Brighton Hove&Albion and East Sussex and England herself.
There you go and thank you for your attention,I feel humbled.
Cheers.

Oh dear. I've lived in West Sussex since I was 3, and don't actually have a love for East Sussex in general. Sorry.

This is a wind-up. Surely if he lived locally he'd know it was Birling Gap not Burling?

Welcome newby. What with all the new Seaford people on here, would it not be an idea to have the new stadium here too?

With defrocked having a Seaford/Canada connection he may be interested to know that the East Blatchington area of Seaford was a Canadian base during WWII. As a nipper growing up in East Blatchington in the 70s/80s I dug up a pristine brass 'CANADA' shoulder insignia in the back garden.

p.s. Citizens of East Sussex should be proud and grateful that they don't live in the shithole that is West Sussex(the county that gave us Worthing, Shoreham, Lancing...) and should have passports ready should they ever be deluded enough to venture west of Portslade.
 


Hello again defrocked.

Since you intend to add to the thrust and parry of NSC, then have at it. and enjoy the banter.
Be just as ready for contentious lambastings though, as after years of imparting wisdom you will just as likely get some spotty git say "you're a brain-fart and a pratt" as "nice one dp, I agree wholeheartedly with your genius opinion". No wait, you are MORE likely to get the former.

Thanks for the nice humble intro, welcome aboard.
Now get on with it, and try not to be a total nob.

I have a family war collection of about 200 pieces.Both World Wars,enemy disposition maps,naval cap ribbons,rifle and tank battalion pins,German Iron Cross,Mills Bomb(grenade).What became of this "Canada" insignia?Have you ever been to Dover to see the old cannon turrets they uncovered.Remarkable really!
