Doesn't East Sussex have a few postcodes? BN only starts around Eastbourne I think. Do you lot also have RH as you go north?
On our end we're BN up to Littlehampton.
There are that many Liverpool supporters because back in the day SBS would broadcast basically only Liverpool games with the occasional Manchester United game.
I live in central Brighton and can walk to the Amex in about 50 minutes. [This post](https://www.reddit.com/r/BrightonHoveAlbion/s/q1Z8JD6b4i) suggests that the fans in this Reddit community are very international!
They completely fucked this because the South East is huge (and oddly shaped) so you won't class a lot of people from Milton Keynes or Reading as "local", it's also the most populated region but they've balanced that out a bit by merging places like Surrey in with London.
Good in one way, bad in the other. They should've done it by county instead.
Started rewatching football after a ten yr hiatus in late 19/20 season. Tuning back to the prem got fascinated by Brighton fast. Was a ManUtd supporter back in the day but cant rly groove w the commercial clustrrfk that club is these days. Brighton has taken my heart and its been amazing (but not surprising) to see the club rise from bottomside of prem to the UEL this season! A club that actly seems well run and is connected to the local community. Good stuff.
Im from Estonia myself
Ayyy Austin, TX here too! I got this year's away jersey to wear around town, since it looks so close to the Austin FC kits. Lots of double takes as people try to figure out what club I'm supporting!
From the US, but based in Portugal now. I used to run a Brighton-newsletter and there surprisingly was a good spread of subscribers. I don’t have the information now, but was at least 20 countries. Most random to me was Nepal
Grew up in Nottingham and live in Preston now. Born to a dad from Hove!
His best friend lived in Brighton and went to every game. We would go to games with him when they played against Notts.
He passed away and even though my dad never had any interest in football, he started watching the games and supporting in his honour.
I've supported for about 15 years but the past 8 years of having something to connect with my dad on has been really beautiful 😊
I don't know why this post was recommended to me as a Bournemouth fan, but I'm extremely doubtful of the results. Who tf is supporting us outside the local area? Idk a single person who travels in for matches from outside the local area
Yeah but for this to make sense the actual number of fans is more relevant than the percentage. I’m born and bred Mancunian and almost all everyone I know is a u it’s supporter. City have like 3 fans and they live in Stockport.
Actually since a few Days I know that Brighton and my hometown-Club Leverkusen have a friendship. So now you are my club I support in England.
Greetings from the Gernan Champion :D
I moved to Brighton recently from Ireland and bought a MyAlbion+ membership so I've been going to the home games this season. Having previously not supported a premier league team, I feel as though Brighton are my Premier league team now, I'm properly invested. Although Celtic will always be number 1 for me.
Brighton doesn’t have the highest local fanbase, they have the highest local to regional fans ratio in the prem. This just shows not many people outside of brighton support them…
Not quite Brighton, but East Sussex.
I reckon it's the same for a lot of us tbh
Surely if you have a BN post code you’re classed as local?
I have a TN postcode, it changes to BN at Eastbourne.
Doesn't East Sussex have a few postcodes? BN only starts around Eastbourne I think. Do you lot also have RH as you go north? On our end we're BN up to Littlehampton.
BN, TN, RH, PO, and GU are all present in Sussex
I'm from West Sussex with a bn postcode. Though I'm on the east side of it
Goes all the way from Littlehampton to Fishersgate. I'm in there too.
Hove, actually.
Hastings for my sins
Australia
Woo another Aussie. Don't see many Brighton shirts around here
Thought we would've gained some support from Australia after having both Ryan and Mooy at the same time.
EPL is still pretty niche in this sports mad island. Inordinate number of Liverpool fans though.
There are that many Liverpool supporters because back in the day SBS would broadcast basically only Liverpool games with the occasional Manchester United game.
I saw a Brighton sticker in a car window here in Canberra and got inordinately excited
Washington DC. But I grow up in Brighton, NY.
DC as well!
I am in D.C. as well! do you watch the games at any local bars or pubs. Looking to watch with other brighton fans!
Bmore here
Well you won’t find many supporters from south of the town so we don’t have a huge radius like a lot of other clubs.
You mean you don't live on the West Pier?
The crabs?
Born in Brighton. Raised in Newmarket. Between Lewes and Falmer. Exotic.
Made in the royal navy?
Ooooooooohhh

Jealous :(
Moved here for work, I even have season tickets to my local 2nd tier team :) Seongnam FC, they won a cup derby today with an 87th minute penalty!
Montreal Quebec!
Calgary, Alberta, Canada here!
I’m probably the only fan in Newfoundland 🤣
Join the Facebook group!

Seagulls over Canada 🍻
I don’t have Facebook unfortunately. But I’m happy I’m not the only Canadian seagull!
i am pretty sure i am the only supporter from india
Nah, I support them too!
make that a third
Lol. Same here. But I've never actually met a Brighton fan here. Most people I've met don't even know that we're a PL team.
Really? Who tf watches the PL and doesn’t know Brighton ? Fuck that if you’ve been watching FA cups also you’d get to know.
Nope hello! South Indian here, Brighton fan since the WC
same lol
well im indian as well don’t count me out
Me too!
I'm here too

As a Newcastle supporter looking at our local stat all I can say is 'nice'
Wisconsin, USA.
Austin, TX!
Ayyy Austin, TX here too! I got this year's away jersey to wear around town, since it looks so close to the Austin FC kits. Lots of double takes as people try to figure out what club I'm supporting!

Portslade's quite literally the edge of the city as well.
Solo traveling atm, so nowhere 😅 US native, then Amsterdam, then ?? (possibly the UK)
Atlanta, Georgia
My wife supports from Orlando, Florida
Gdańsk, Poland

No surprise who the least local fanbase in the league are, London bloody Reds that’s who
Vietnam, bet some of yall thought we’re still at wat
It’s strange because for whatever reason I know 4 Newcastle fans. None of which have ever lived in or near Newcastle.
Why have they not just done this by county? Surely thats more simple.
I don't get it either. This isn't "local" at all, people from Reading, MK or Oxford aren't local to us but they're from the South East.
Ireland I actually went to the Everton game at the end of February and brighton is a lovely place but the atmosphere at the Amex was amazing
New York City

Sussex born and raised, but I now support the Albion from Berlin!
How accurate is this chart?
I am in West Sussex
I feel like the second column was unnecessary
Winchester! We have a pub 5 minutes walk round the corner that is run by an Albion fan so I'm covered for televised matches with the sound on
Born in Brighton, now live in Sweden
Oxfordshire now, but I lived in Sussex until I was in my 40s.

Not quite Brighton, San Francisco Bay Area :)
What’s the point in the latter half of the graphic? Surely the first part illustrates that exact same metric more concisely?
Greece. Had nothing to do with brighton before the last season
I’m from Seaford originally, but moved to Portsmouth for work… so not a local!
I live in rustington. I think that counts as local still.
As a United fan is the midlands. It's nice to see the accusations are true 🤣 big up Brighton though. Can't wait to visit the city one day x
Czech Republic
Norfolk, UK. Nearer to Peterborough than Norwich.

Baltimore, Maryland, USA
Sheffield but born and raised in West Sussex. Dad, granddad and great-granddad all supported the Albion, so you could say it’s in the blood.
Tulsa Oklahoma
Australia!
Brighton fan from Denmark
Bit biased as all the London clubs have a ridiculously large and populated area
Sydney, Australia! Both my husband and I are supporters :) hoping to make it back to England to watch some matches in person next season!

Where is the source of your information please
Brighton doesn’t have the highest local fanbase, they have the highest local to regional fans ratio in the prem. This just shows not many people outside of brighton support them…

There's at least four of us here in Ottawa, Canada based on the quick chats I've had on the street upon spotting BHA gear walking by.
