[Herr Tubthumper]

Quite. Hove on Saturday night for example.

[Blazing Apostle]

Proper Proper Brighton if above AND you went to every Withdean game and
Proper Proper Proper Brighton if you are the above AND went to Gillingham.....think some T Shirts need to be knocked up

Palace fans still don't understand that Albion fans live all around the world but were born in Brighton or Sussex.

I am a Brighton born and lived within 10 miles all my life Mrs Blue2 is the same

 

[Seagull Steve]

You do seem to get a lot of people saying "oh your the first real Brightonian I have met" which seems strange to me, as most of my friends are born and bred here, as well as my family for at least four generations. I was born at the General, on birthday coincidently.

I was born in Maidstone, but my father and grandfather were from Brighton and supported the Albion since the 1930's. I think that's good enough

Seems to me the OP feels he is superior to others that ha e moved here.

I to was born here and all the generations as far back as family can remember all lived in Brighton and I will defend Brighton to the hilt, but I can't wait to get away from here.
All I do is is commute from the place, the town offers me nothing for leisure / play time and the greens have stopped us car drivers going to town for shopping so I'm off out to the country.

Absolute Bullshit! Where have I acted superior?

 

[Questions]

Its starting to get depressing the amount of people who express patronising surprise when I say I was born in Brighton (as were the pervious 7 or so generations on my Dads side). Does anyone else get this? Hopefully there are still a high number of Brighton Borns still able to live here!

You are an imposter. We already have a Catfish on this site and he is from Worthing.

Rubbish.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Rubbish.

This. There isn't half some nonsense written on NSC but some of the comments on this thread take it to a whole new level.

I would like to think that this a tongue in cheek comment. If not then you may have irritated quite a few thousand not proper Albion fans.

Judging by this thread I'm genuinely surprised anyone gives a shit about anything you say.

 

[Seagull on the wing]

Yes, me also. 5 Generations of Brightonians on my Dad's side here and he's a genealogist; before 1841 it becomes trickier in Brighton and Hove to confirm it and before 1801, near impossible (unless you are gentry/mormon). Have you had it researched? Curious as I don't often meet anyone with a longer (provable) Brighton lineage.

One here...born Brighton....as all my relatives on mothers side go back to 1705 in Brighton....

So, I was born in Camberley, Surrey. An Albion fan of 38 years standing- and now at last I know that I have never been a 'proper' one

Aren't you missing something at the beginning of your post? Something you keep reminding the internet world?

 

[Baron Pepperpot]

Brighton is a town that is built on migration and has been since the railway arrived. It's a splendid demographic and for me it makes the place. Only a handful of my friends are actually Brightonian by origin, and to be honest it's never bothered me. I think it would be a horrid little hermogonised, provincial town otherwise
