This evocative photograph captures the electric atmosphere of the 2012-13 pre-season clash between Brighton & Hove Albion and Lewes FC. Taken by renowned local sports photographer Toby Barton, the image beautifully encapsulates the passion and excitement that surrounds football in Brighton. The scene is set at the Falmer Stadium, the new home of Brighton & Hove Albion, which had only opened the previous year. The Seagulls were on the cusp of making a return to the Football League after a five-year absence, and the anticipation was palpable as they prepared to take on their local rivals Lewes. The photograph showcases a moment of intense action on the pitch, with Brighton's star striker, Craig Mackail-Smith, in the thick of it all. Mackail-Smith, who would go on to score 25 goals in all competitions that season, is seen here in a fierce battle with Lewes' defender, both players giving their all in the heat of the moment. The stands are filled with an enthusiastic crowd, their faces painted in the colours of their respective teams. The sea of blue and white shirts of the Brighton supporters contrast sharply with the red and white of Lewes, creating a striking visual divide. The sense of community and camaraderie among the fans is evident, as they cheer and chant in support of their teams. This photograph is a testament to the rich footballing history of Brighton & Hove Albion and the enduring rivalry between the Seagulls and Lewes. It serves as a reminder of the thrill and excitement that comes with following a football team, and the special bond that exists between fans and players.
