local park, just put your name down on the sign up sheet and you are in, no
matter what level you are. Its great to mix practicing your English with doing exercise. We even have our own Stafford House kit!

If you were looking for a more serious
approach then you could watch Brighton & Hove Albion F.C , our local
football club, founded in 1901. They play in the Football League Championship which
is the division below our Premier League. They are unsurprisingly given our
location, nicknamed “The Seagulls”. They play at the Falmer Stadium but as
American Express sponsor them it is also called the Amex stadium which was opened
in 2011 and cost £93 million and is located a 30 minute bus ride from Stafford
House Brighton. The average attendance for home games is around 25,000 and ticket
prices start at around £30.
They enjoyed a short spell in the early 80’s in the top
flight of English football winning against sides such as Manchester United and
Arsenal and even reaching the F.A. cup final. Since those heady days Brighton have faced many ups and
downs with a precarious financial position and moving further down the
different leagues. As I write this we are currently mid table, but I dream like
all football fans have to, that maybe one day
we can reach the top flight of English football and once more beat the
Arsenals and Manchester United’s of this world. But for now our Stafford House Brighton team is happy
to meet and play in the park. If you are interested in studying English in Brighton then check out our website: www.staffordhouse.com/brighton
