Dad supported Scumhampton and then moved up north and turned to Man Utd, saying he had a soft spot for them since the plane crash.

Grandfarther Dads side = QPR & The Albion
Grandfarther stepmums side = West Ham
Grandfarther mums side = Albion
Grandmother dads side = Hamburg
Grandmother stepmums side = West Ham
Grandmother mums side = Albion
Me, my Dad and 2 of my brothers are all Albion (other is only young, he will be Brighton though!)
3 of my Uncles - 1 is Leicester, 1 is Everton, 1 is Liverpool (not sure why on all of those!)
Dad's Dad was Palace, Mum's Dad was Arsenal.
Rest of the immediate family aren't huge football fans, but they all keep a look out for our results! And they always seem to mention them more when we lose
Dads Side Glasgow Rangers....Mums side Celtic, bet the wedding must have been interesting when the pints of heavy started taking effect !! My dads side came from Clydebank and I remember being taken to Kilbowie Park on many occasions. One of the first all seater stadiums, not as glorious as it sounds, they were made from planks of wood, like the scaffolders use. Sadly the ground was sold from under their feet, flattened and a supermarket was built there. Remind you of anything. My Dad was a full time Seagull before he passed away a couple of years ago though.
If more people supported their local team, whoever that may be, then football in this country would be a lot healthier. Brighton seems half full of Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man U fans, often with no connection with those places whatsoever. I'd rather have a chat with one genuine Palace fan from south london than 10 plastic Man U fans from sussex.
Can someone please drone on self righteously about supporting their local team and start slating plastic fans (If it hasnt been absolutely flogged to f***ing death already)
My Dad was a Stoke fan (he's not Andy Naylor) - my first game was Stoke Brighton. But my mum's side are all east end and west ham fans. I stood in the home end at upton park with my sister a few years back when we won 1-0 after being battered for large parts of the game. My reaction when Guy Butters scored was described as "f***ing priceless". The west ham fans were very unhappy. One of them shouted still my favourite sledge at his team's players "you think you're premiership but you're not even f***ing fish and chips." Brilliant.
