East Sussex city named in top 10 'most patriotic' in England, following last-gasp win against Slovakia thanks to Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane


The study from football betting tips, predictions and news site, Footy Accumulators, took into account a range of factors including patriotic street names, the number of fan parks, and even counted the number of fish and chip shops in each city, to name just a few. In total, 7 factors were measured against 25 of England’s most populated cities.
Brighton was found to be the second most patriotic city in England, with a total score of 26.1 out of 50. This is thanks to the seaside city achieving one of the best scores for ‘patriotic’ search volume at 7.2/10. In the run-up to Euro 2024, Brighton locals were searching terms such as ‘England kit’ and ‘England national anthem’ at a rate no other English city could match.
