Sally-Ann founded and created Brighton and Hove Albion FC’s Cheerleaders, Gully’s Girls, in the Summer of 2005.

First on show at the Withdean Stadium with only 8 girls, the troupe has now expanded to 22 members. The Gully’s Girls perform on Match Days at the Seagulls new home, The American Express Community Stadium in front of a whopping 22,500 Brighton fans and have become an integral part of the pre-match entertainment.

Whilst on maternity leave, Sally-Ann handed over her duties as Head Coach to Jo (JoJo) Wilson who has since become the Troupe Manager ‘under Sally-Ann’s wing’. Sally-Ann says “We are lucky to have some outstanding choreographers within the Gully’s Girls…they perform a variety of styles varying from Hip Hop to Jazz and have recently started perfecting their cheer stunting work which involves throwing each other in the air at every opportunity! I am so proud of everything the girls have achieved in the last 6 years and love seeing them improve and better themselves Season upon Season….they’re all lovely too – which is an added bonus”.

Many of the girls who have performed with the troupe grew up dancing with Robin and Sally-Ann at Let’s Dance and Point4. Others have come from all over Sussex to share in the enjoyment of Cheerleading for such a great football team.
