What countries have you been to?

[Safeway]

Is there anywhere on Earth that hasn't been invaded by an Albion fan at some point?

As well as the usual suspects (France and Spain, both more than once), I have worn the stripes in Egypt, the U.A.E. and India (wanted to wear the last Sandtex shirt in front of the Taj Mahal but that got vetoed by the missus. Bitch.)

Where have YOU been? Go on, tell us.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

The young Miss Bracknell is currently swanning around Vietnam, having just flown in from Laos. I can't remember whether she packed her stripes.

I'm certain, though, that she won't have taken her Sandtex shirt - that goes nowhere, ever since she was approached by a bald headed old bloke in the Queens Road shop who asked her if she wanted it signed. Baffled, she said yes - and the geezer scribbled the words "Peter Ward" all over the sleeve.

 

[Wilts]

Not really included as seeing Albion fans, though I have definitely seen one in Magalluf, Ibiza, and Tenerife (all Spain) as he was with me at the time.

Countries been to: Trumpet-blowing...

France
Germany - lived and born
Italy
Switzerland
Austria
Spain
Ireland - Seagulls fan was there too
Greece - either Faliraki or Kavos this summer - Seagull will be there
Holland

UAE - Dubai - lived
Oman - Muscat - lived

Pakistan - only for 2 hours though... Karachi airport, doesn't really count.

And even Wales. Funny ol' place.

Not met any famous Brighton players like Mrs Bracknell though, but I know one of Bobby Zamora's ex-birds, if that's close enough. The Brighton-supporting mate's Gran also used to run the Goldstone Gamble for about 10 years. Nay bad.

 

[Safeway]

Dubai is f***ing class, I want to go back. Want to live in India forever though.

 

[Wilts]

Used to live in Dubai in 1988, then went back in 2002 and its about trebled in size. Quality though... mind out for the Russian whores (or get involved, even).

 

[Marshy]

My shirt got a good airing in South Africa 10 years ago.

Left one with my Uncle over there, Im sure he still wears it now !

 

[Blackadder]

Here goes:

England,Wales,Scotland,Ireland,USA,France,Belgium,Holland,
Denmark,Finland,Germany,Poland,Austria,Yugoslavia (which is now several states), Portugal,Spain (including most of the islands),Switzerland,Greece,Italy,Israel, Malaysia and Canada

Can't swear to wearing the stripes in all the countries. Maybe 65%? I know I didn't wear them in Poland,Yugoslavia,Finland, Denmark for different reasons.

Still hoping to go to Cyprus, Australia, NZ, Sweden etc.

But

I've never been to Ninian Park or Millwall.


I wore my shirt in Lanzarotte last week. Immediately a fellow fan came up. "See you support my team, the Albion" he said. I replied, hopefully "Do you post on NSC?" "No" was the answer.

Never mind. A little northern kid came up and said "I like your shirt, they will be my second side!" which was nice!

Has anyone met a fellow NSCer on holiday (that they didn't know already)
