Football and Host Families
If you're into English footboll you might have heard of Brighton & Hove Albion. They're not playing in Premier League, but they've had their glory days. In 1983 they tied against Manchester United in the FA Cup Final, but unfortunately they lost the replay (well not for me, actually, being a ManU fan when it comes to football:-)). In today's team we find a Danish goalkeeper, Casper Ankergren, and a Norwegian forward Torbjorn Adgestein. No more Scandinavians, sorry.
Brighton & Hove Albion will probably be most important to you because of where they used to play their home games until last season. The place is called Withdean Stadium and that's where most of you will meet your host families as soon as we've arrived. If they can't pick you up themselves, they'll make sure you get a ride from Withdean to your new home for the next three weeks.
You might wonder what Hove is. It's a town situated west of Brighton, but the two towns were joined in 1997 into the city of Brighton & Hove. It's hard to see where the first town ends and the the next begins since Western Rd with it's shops and restaurants is running through it all, and we'll be spending time in both areas on our trip.
