Albion support sounded fantastic, and the celebration of the goal was a joy to watch.
The Palace celebration was..... much shorter, and equally a joy to watch!!!
My mate bought us tickets in the Palace main stand (£40 each) through a Palace supporting friend of his.
So there we were...two Brighton fans amongst thousands of Palace fans.
Not sure what was hardest to achieve.....
a/ not going crazy when we scored
b/ not going crazy when the offside flag...
1984, pub crawl through Brighton.
Ended the evening with the challenge of drinking a dozen pernod & blacks (all lined up along the bar), which of course was met (on top of 6 other pubs worth of alcohol).
Sick for two days. Never touched Pernod since
Only managed to get to 6 games last season (4 league, 1 play-off, 1 final), as I still play football on saturdays.
I vowed that I would hang my boots up when we got to our new stadium. I hope the decision is soon because I am now 40, and my knees are knackered.
I took my eldest daughter to her first game at the weekend as well. She is eight (same age as I saw my first Albion game), and sat in block B. I don't think she was too impressed with the football, but she was amazed by the crowd.
She certainly learnt some new words, and will forever associate...
email & letter sent.
Current mood: angry but not surprised
This is however another opportunity for the people of Brighton, Hove, and Sussex (and beyond), to give JP no doubt of the overwhelming support for this stadium
So keep writing
