6th August 2011 - looking back now...

[The Large One]

So, with a smite over six months since the first proper game at the our new stadium; and with six months to look back and contemplate what was for many the best Albion day of their lives, there is one important question which, as honest Brighton fans you really can and should answer as honestly as possible...

DID YOU CRY?

You can answer the poll anonymously - just in case, like. But man up and be honest.

 

[Surrey_Albion]

Yep I most certainly did, couldnt get the words out when we were singing the voice cracked

 

[Commander]

I didn't cry.

I did get so drunk I couldn't remember my own name though.

 

[Djmiles]

A lot of emotions, but no crying cos I'm WELL 'ARD INNIT.

 

[upthealbion1970]

I did indeed cry, have also decided to have a 6-8-11 tattoo

 

[emphyrian]

Didnt cry but when the flags were waving and we were signing GOSBTS i had goosebumps and good emotions running through me. It was my boys first ever footie match too so a very proud day for me

 

[MattBackHome]

I didn't cry.

I did get so drunk I couldn't remember my own name though.

This.

Barring the pandemonium surrounding the winner, I remember virtually nothing of that game.

 

[Badger]

Goose bumps - yes
Hairs standing up on the back of my neck - yes
Crying - no

 

[Commander]

This.

Barring the pandemonium surrounding the winner, I remember virtually nothing of that game.

Same here.

The chap I sit next to must have been quite relieved to find out at the next game that I'm not usually how I was that day.

 

[Simster]

I was close, but held it together.

Couldn't believe what I was seeing though when we first came up the steps into the stand. Amazing scenes.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Watery eyes when Buckers scored the winner but not "crying" as such.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Watery eyes when Buckers scored the winner but not "crying" as such.

Ditto.

 

[El Presidente]

Watery eyes when Buckers scored the winner but not "crying" as such.

Who did you SNOG when Buckers scored though?

 

[Fungus]

Where's the option for "I was expecting the full waterworks, but spent the whole time with a silly grin on my face"?

Getting a bit moist at the thought of it now, though...

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Who did you SNOG when Buckers scored though?

Barrett and Mendoza.

Wilko was trying to get some ACTION but I was having NONE of it.

 

[The Large One]

Barrett and Mendoza.

Wilko was trying to get some ACTION but I was having NONE of it.

Oh no. I really hope that's not the last thought in my head before I go to sleep tonight.

 

[leigull]

Just posted this on the other thread but it's worth going on here too

[Seagull Steve]

I wouldn't say full on tears, but as GOSBTS was belting out, and the flags were waving, my eyes were wet, and the lump in my throat nearly choked me.

 

[tinx]

Definitely had a lump in the throat pre-match with the flags and sussex by the sea, was very drunk too, the excitment of being able to drin beer at a home game was too much to bare.

 

[SeagullSongs]

I wasn't there and I didn't cry, I was in Greece on a family holiday (ffs) so I didn't know the result for quite a while...
