Not necessarily a weird place but ... Reading.

The weird thing about it was that I was following a car identical to mine in year, make, model and colour. Yet it had an Albion sticker in the back. My son was really confused and said maybe someone had got me that car but had given it to the wrong person.

Probably not that unusual, but in Disney World in 2012 walking through Magic Kingdom, my son had his home shirt, with Noone on the back. Out of nowhere we heard a huge SEAGULLS, followed by Nooney Nooney Nooney. Seemed quite strange and surreal at the time, but I imagine somewhere like that there'll always be supporters of different clubs.
That may have been me! I think it was early July.. Also a palace fan staying at the same hotel as me on that trip.

Steve Ferrone is the drummer in the Heartbreakers - born in Brighton and a lifelong Albion fan!

Steve Ferrone was also the drummer for The Straits when they toured over here a couple of years ago. And when I saw Tom Petty a couple of years back he mentioned on stage that Steve was from Brighton, I was the only person to cheer, loudly.

When I take my Jazz to the Honda garage at Trispen, near Truro, it gets personal attention from an Albion supporter, after he spotted the window stickers.

Is it anyone on here?

Might be the same person, as it's a while since I lived down there (2012), but there was also a Brighton supporter working at the Vauxhall garage in Threemilestone.

There's loads of Albion in that part of the world.

A few years ago, one Saturday morning, I went to see a movie at the local AMC movie theater in Ahwatukee (a Phoenix suburb). I entered the auditorium, wandered up to the back...and there was a lad (probably early teens) wearing an Albion shirt.
Phoenix shouldn't be too much of a surprise given it is a main hub for Amex. I know of a couple of Albion fans who live there/have lived there for work

Now I'm a bit gutted, thought I'd found out who it was, but no I don't think it was you. We were there the last 2 weeks of September, so would of been after the 17th. Shame about the hotel guests though.

Walking round the streets of Stourbridge where my Dad comes from and most of my family come from, about eleven years ago.
I spotted this chap sitting across the otherside of my local up there with the latest then Albion shirt on.
I Got talking to him, his name was Gerry was about 55, was born and had lived in Stourbridge his whole life.
Turns out his Dad was from Brighton, his Mum from Stourbridge and he had been a dedicated Albion fan like his Dad and season ticket holder at the Goldstone in the West Stand
until the very last game in 97 V Donny.
He showed me the ticket, he carried it around in his wallet all the time.
He said he would get a season ticket again if we ever got a new stadium.
Poor old Gerry never made it that far and died the year before the Amex opened of a heart attack.
His wife rang me long after the funeral (to which i went ) and said that he wanted me to have his old season ticket as I showed so much love for the Albion, and they had two daughters,
of whom neither were interested in football and that she had just found it and forgotten to give it to me on the day of his funeral.
I hope he can see every match still and gets his dream of us being in the Premier League. RIP Gerry x

In a van hitching in Norway towards Flam - spotted a fellow hitcher with an Albion top on, and his girlfriend. Forced the puzzled Norwegian to stop and give them a lift as well....

A nice bit of South London
Running the Amsterdam marathon 3 weeks ago, I overtook a chap in the new away top with Zamora 25 on the back. Also a couple of Seagulls chants from the crowd (I was wearing last season's orange third kit)

Love Amsterdam....
