The WAB Friday Quiz #184

Saturday 25th March 2023 is Non-League Day, where football fans who might otherwise be preoccupied with the Premier League and Championship are encouraged to get out there and support grassroots football.

Throughout the 122 year history of the Albion, Brighton have had strong links with the amateur scene. Some of the best ever Seagulls players have arrived from non league clubs, whilst there have been plenty of inglorious FA Cup exits at the hands of postmen and electricians.

No prizes for guessing what this week’s WAB Friday Quiz is centred around. We have 20 questions for you on Brighton and non league football.

Good luck – and do try and get to a game this weekend if you can. Stand where you watch, drink a pint, carry around a bottle top and pay much less than £3.20 for a bag of Starbust. What is not to like?
