Following on from the 'Turncoats' thread wondering what teams most of your families support if not Brighton?
My family on mums side first moved to Brighton from East London in the 60's so my Nan, Grandad & Mum were all West Ham.
Further afield there are relatives who support Watford & Luton Town.

No football fans at all on my dads side, The freaks :lolol:

My Dad grew up West Brom, but has bought 4 platinum 1901s at the Amex...

I have six sisters who at various times went to Brighton matches (usually with current boyfriend) but not becoming regular supporters.

One of them moved to London 20 or so years ago and proudly announced that she followed Chelsea, to my horror. :angry:

My Dad and all his brothers are Pompey fans, I think my Mums side are Yeovil fans and my step family are all Spurs fans.

Although I did see my 5 year old step cousin wearing a Brighton top the other day rather than his usual Spurs kit, so that's a good sign.

My brother-in-law is Oxford United. My father is a naturalised Leicester/Blackpool fan (nothing serious), but now has a soft spot for the Albion - much more of a rugby fan.

I'm the only real fan in my family and support Brighton because I was born here and they were my closest team of any sort.

Mum is a Villa fan - from Birmingham. Grandpop is a West Brom fan. Same reason.

Everyone else - including nephews in New Zealand - are Brighton fans.

Apart from my brother. Who is a Crystal Palace fan.

Dad was a Barnsley supporter because that's where he was born and brought up before he moved down south sometime in the early 60's, but took me and my brother to the Albion.

Mrs Gwylan and all her family are Millwall through and through. My nephew has been a mascot there and is a ball-boy now. I have loads of Millwall in-laws coming down at Christmas - should be a bit of banter.

My dad was Brighton and my mum can't stand football - she's a cricket fan though, supports Glamorgan.

My dad has no real interest in football although he is a closet Liverpool fan, he prefers to follow Wales in egg chasing
My mum used to take no interest in football but she can now often be found in the kitchen listening to Albion matches
2 Albion supporting brothers and Redneb who is clearly the odd one out following that SCC outfit.

Mum and Dad were from Blackburn and post wedding hired a bus to take everyone to a match in the afternoon. Mum's brother is still a director at Blackburn. Dad came to like Brighton (althougb it was Dave Young who introduced me to the mighty Albion).
