[Albion] Uckfield and the Albion

[torchieboy]

Coming over to Uckfield next week for my Dads funeral at the Holy Cross Church in the town that was his home with his 4 brothers for the first 30 years or so.
He took me to my first Albion match in the late 70's and i've never lost the love for my team. We use to visit my nan in Framfield Road opposite the Alma pub then go off to watch the Seagulls. Just wondering how many other fans come from Uckfield and watch the Seagulls.

Going to take my Seagulls scarf as he wanted something blue at his funeral.

Rest in peace. Much love.

Moved away now but I lived there for 10 years as a younger lad. Got the bus to every home game into Brighton/Falmer. Good memories.

Brought up in Uckfield for the first 19 years of my life. I went to HC primary school where my mum taught I used to be in HC church a lot as I was in the choir. My mum and dad now in their 80's still go and are in the choir still!!!!

I'm now settled in the footballing backwater that is Northampton but I've managed to convince both my children to support the Albion! Go me!

Sorry to hear about your Dad. Hope the funeral goes ok for you.

Moved to Brighton (from Australia) in 2005, then out to Uckfield nearly 10 years ago. Became a proper BHAFC fan since moving here, so I guess I'm a "fan from Uckfield" in that sense .

Condolences on your loss.

I lived on the corner of selby road/framfield road from 1971-1977 before moving to Bognor. Cant remember what school i went to in Uckfield
Going to have a look around as the house my dad and his brothers were born in is still there opposite the Alma.

Hi Torchie, I lived in Uckfield in the same area as you growing up, lived in Uckfield/Maresfield for most of my life - a couple of periods away and then moved out to Horam area. I went to HC school from 70-76. Used to play football and knock about in Selby Road so we probably know the same people. small world.

Nice. I had a few friends living around that area. Wayne Penfold, Steve Miles from what I can remember.

I think she joined after I left - I recall the name but not to any detail.

Yeah possibly. I was born 74 so she was off that year and returned to work when I was 4

I live a couple of miles from Cogger's Cross, near Horam.
Is that named after the Cogger family that you are referring to?
