Welcome to Seagulls Programmes
Welcome to my website, 17 years in the making and still evolving! The football programme has been around almost as long as the game itself. The primitive match cards issued for games in the 19th century are a far cry from the 100-page publications of today, yet they serve the same purpose. A mazy dribble from an opposing player will prompt a flick through the programme to find out who he is. In Victorian times the same process took place, although the players back then were distinguished perhaps by the colour of their ‘knickers’ or the type of hat they wore.
This website celebrates the Brighton & Hove Albion programme. You can track its evolution from 1906 to the present day, and there are also examples of match cards from other clubs in the Brighton area that existed before the formation of the Albion in 1901.
I hope you enjoy looking through my labour of love. If you have any comments, queries or questions, please let me know.
