I'm a Brighton fan and "Balham" is the only word that rhymes with my name. Interesting, no?

There is at least one other Albion fan not previously mentioned currently residing in Balham. And the Duke of Devonshire has been an occasional 'Albion' drinking hole of a night for four or five of us in the locality.

Blimey, Seagulls here, Seagulls there, Seagulls every f***ing where.
Next time,. there's a meet in the Duke of Dev let me know. I thought that Wozza and I were the only Tooting/Balham people here (given that Tooting Gull lives in Mitcham).

While that is technically true, as far as mini-cab drivers are concerned, it's Tooting as its close to the BR station (confusingly not really in Tooting at all). Mitcham can be another four quid. Not that I'm tight...
It's also quite near Amen Corner, which is either the crucial and challenging series of holes that sorts out the winner of the Masters at Augusta each year - or a three-way junction between Tooting, Mitcham and Streatham, depending on your perspective.

Yeah, that Tooting station is weird. It should be called Mitcham Road or something. I live in Tooting and my nearest station is Haydon's Road - how does that work? But then, Clapham Junction is nowhere near Clapham ... as I discovered when I went there for the first time.
Amen Corner is also a 60s band (If paradise is half as nice...) but I think you'd have to be a certain age to remember that.

I used to live on the Furzedown site when I was at college (many years ago) and struck up a friendship with some of the local Millwall supporting lads on the basis of mutual Palarse loathing !
Leroy Rosenoir, ex-Hammer and current Torquay Gaffer, also used to live locally and drink at the Furzedown social club.

Close but no cigar - Howard used to live in Balham but has moved to South Tottenham with his lady. Don't think he has an Albion scarf either as he is a media tart these days it wouldn't be 'cool'.
Howards mate Noel works for Virgin but has never lived in Balham.
There is still one left in Balham (used to house share with Howard) but he ain't got long hair and I will not name him as he likes his privacy.

I just moved back to Balham last week. Feels good to be home.
There's a ginger-haired Albion fan (named Darren, I think) who lives in Balham... and works in Croydon. Poor thing.
I've seen an Albion fan with two young kids at the station.
Also saw someone in an Albion shirt at the Balham gym last year. Didn't say hello which was very rude of me.
Anyway...

Ah, yes, that'll be me Wozza, although I've moved to Tooting with the missus (not far from the Mitre for those who know the area) since I last saw you. Unfortunately I still have ginger hair and work in Croydon.
Sorry, still doesn't solve the Seagulls fan in Balham query.
