Question to Tyrone: How come you're a Seagulls fan if you've never been here?

born in Greater London (Bromley) lived there until I was 18, then moved to Reading for University and have been here for nearly 3 years now - I am however expecting my first child ( a little boy) so there will be one more albion fan in Berkshire come December.

We are lookign at moving to Brighton within a couple of years, depending on whether I get into the police

Born in Worthing, lived there until I went to Uni in London, then moved to Leeds. Still proudly wearing the stripes, especially to wind up locals who think it's a Sheffield Weds kit...

Born in Purley, Surrey into a family of Palace fans. Supported Chelsea as a boy (largely because I felt sorry for them as they were always the butt of my Dad's jokes) but also supported Palace to keep the old man and his dad happy.

There's also a difference between my first Brighton game (1965) and my first game as a fully-fledged Brighton FAN, which probably wasn't until about 1969/70. In the early days Brighton games were simply ways of passing a Saturday afternoon if I wasn't going to watch real football at Stamford Bridge or Selhurst Park. If my bloody maternal grandparents hadn't retired to Lancing and if my bloody parents hadn't got divorced I would never have been infected with Albionitis.

Born in Northhampton and live in Southampton. I did live in Hove for 13 years though!
I feel sorry for you.
Born in Winchester, live in Eastleigh. Better than living in Southampton but only slightly. My mums side of the family comes from Brighton and I've always felt more at home there than I do down here. Meh.

indeedy, got a free pass for my boy from Jungle Soccer to any stand so we may even hit The Shed if it's raining - time for a win methinks... Who's your Dadi?

I got free tickets aswell! I will be sporting my albion shirt and scarf as usual so if you see me give me a seaaagulls shout!
 




Born in Pompey saw a few games down there, but it was 4th Division rubbish also had a soft spot for Man Utd in the late 70's! Moved to Brighton when I was ten, watched some 1st Division football and was hooked.
Love Brighton, the place, the people and most of all the football team.

Because I'm a glutton for punishment :jester:

Long story short one of the first football games I ever saw our loss in the F A Cup final on Oz tv.

Plus I live in a southern seaside city with it's very own plentiful seagull population.

Plus my Aussie Rules side wears blue and white.


So it's like all the stars were aligning for me to be an Albion fan.

Bastard stars! :lolol:

Born in Norn Irn, been away from there since '87 when I joined up (used to support Linfield FC as a kid, still watch them when I visit/follow them in papers/online). Never had an English team (or professional one for that matter) before BHAFC to follow. All my old NI mates followed either Premier teams and/or Rangers/Celtic, I used to play the game more than watch it. Settled in Hove in 1999 after roaming the world, started going to Withdean soon after. I've been addicted since then, and I still fooking love it.

My wife is from Bexhill and is a fellow fan. So I married into Sussex and the Albion you could say.

Am I a bad fan, do I have to sit in the naughty chair with Wardy?
