Only met Sarah a couple of times at away games up north. But she was an ever present with her siamese twin Liz. She will be sadly missed by many Albion fans both home and away. I just hope that TB and the club say goodbye with grace and that Sarah is truly remembered for her long and hard work for FFA and the supporters club.
RIP Sarah
RIP Sarah
Only found out today that my daughter was one of the people helping to look after Sarah in her final weeks at the care home where she works. She had mentioned to me before Christmas that she was looking after a lady who was a keen Albion supporter but didn't tell me her name so it hadn't clicked with me that it was Sarah.
My daughter said what a lovely lady she was to look after, never complaining about her condition and always talking about the Albion and always smiling. I never knew Sarah but, like everyone else was well aware of all the hard work she had put in over the years ensuring our club's survival.
R.I.P. Sarah and condolences to her family.

If anyone deserves to have their name on a Brighton & Hove Bus it must surely be Sarah. Have asked bus company to oblidge.

RIP Sarah, such sad news.
I don't think I ever spoke to her, but I do recognise her. I guess being a football fan is like that, faces you know.

It was good to hear Liz on the radio tonight get the chance to mention Sarah and her contribution to the club.
I didn't know her but knew of her, and who she was. In fact I imagine all Albion supporters from a certain era at least knew of her because of her tireless Albion support and good natured character. RIP.

Yes, 100%
Rather a person with the deep respect she has than an ancient privileged crusty who did little for the local people of the time.
A very good suggestion.

That picture of her made me feel a little tearful.
One of the more recognisable faces from the Withdean days. I only ever spoke to her once. I was handing out leaflets at the Lib Dem conference and she was orchestrating the proceedings from a table and rallying the troops. She was like a cuddly marine. Incredibly welcoming and friendly, but entirely focused on rescuing our stadium dream.
Very sad to hear of her untimely demise.

So sorry to hear Sarah has gone - I heard only just before Christmas that she was ill. Sarah was always an important presence in the Goldstone years, the Gillingham years, the Withdean years and right through to now at the Amex.
She used to go to away matches with a group including my late brother Roy and my late sister Karen (Chuter), with quite a few of those who have already posted in memory of Sarah. All 3 have left us too soon.
I think applause at 50 minutes at the Arsenal game on your 50th birthday - as well as any Brentford tribute - would be very fitting, especially as the family have posted here that they would be very happy if it happens.
RIP Sarah, hope you can follow the games from whereever you are now. Love from the last Chuter standing.

Thanks, Edna, for the opportunity to put a face with the name; its a name that has been synonymous with BHAFC in the many years I've been a supporter, &, though I never met her, I'm certain I will have seen Sarah at any number of grounds around the country. That in itself makes her 'one of us', but its all the super-extra efforts, Falmer, tackling homophobia, etc., that make this a greater loss to our club. RIP, & condolences to all family & friends.

Club and fans (of both clubs) did Sarah proud today. Minute's applause on the 49th minute, standing ovation, photos on the giant screens, a wide array of tributes in the programme. Total respect to all concerned.

Maybe..personally I think the 49th minute tribute was very apt ..but it's not about you and me but that fine lady

Tedious chump
Would have been mint if we'd scored just after the remembrance...CMS had the best chance of the game about five seconds after the clapping ended. Bit of mystic Sarah energy going on.
To everyone who was at the game today...can we just say a huge thanks for the amazing response to our sister Sarah..you truly are a fantastic "family" and if only she could have given CMS a little "extra" help.
We have been very touched by ALL your comments since her passing on the 6th January.
As quite a few of you know it would have been her 50th birthday on Monday 26th January the day after we entertain Arsenal...we will be there and she will too....if Brighton play with the grit and determination that they did today when they were down to 9 men then it would be a fantastic present for her and everyone involved.
Thanks again.
The Family.

Liz Costa came in to the Reverb studio to record her tribute to Sarah Watts - and tell a few stories of her life - last week.

A very interesting listen. Insightful and informative in regards to both Sarah and Liz. By the way towards the end of the interview Liz mentioned "The Battle of Longford" but did not go into great detail. What was the "Battle of Longford"? Anyone know?
