Who We Are
Seagulls Over Burwash was established in 2010 by life-long Albion supporters Simon Oakley and Teskey O’Neil to provide a non-profit making Brighton and Hove Albion supporters club for the area of Burwash and Heathfield and recently Uckfield.
Seagulls Over Burwash provides coach travel facilities to all home games at the American Express Community Stadium (The Amex) and to selected away games. Seagulls Over Burwash also actively supports local sports clubs while forging strong links with Albion’s award-winning charity scheme – Albion In The Community scheme.
