Bonfire Night 1997

[Safeway]

Albion dicked 3-0 at Priestfield by Barnet. The attendance of 1,025 was the lowest ever for a Brighton home league game.

I was there. Were YOU?

 

[LANGDON SEAGULL]

Yes

 

[Simster]

NO.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

yep

 

[Scotty Mac]

yeah - the fireworks going off behind that stand behind the goal that was never used were the highlight of the evening

 

[surrey jim]

no

 

[Bob!]

yep

 

[Dover]

Nope. Some lunatic called Krispies took me with his Now departed Mum to Lewes, to see the anual carange of Bonfire Night.

It bucketed down with rain. Krispies and his Mum got plastered. A firework just missed my head, and I longed to be at Gillingham, how I longed.

Anyway, it took hours to get home, and I have never thought a bed at the Nurses Home could be so good, or welcoming.

 

[Seagulls over Lewes]

No

 

[Wozza]

If you weren't there, you're not a real albion fan imo.

Did Krispies get as plastered as he did on the November the Fifth, several years later than 1997, when I bumped into him and his uncle in the Black Horse at Lewes?



Oh ... just a thought... I guess there are several NSC members who have OFTEN thought that "a bed at the Nurses Home could be good, or welcoming".

 

[timbha]

yep, believe Man U/Barcelona (?) televised that night.

Oh yes m'lud. Krispies loves the whole Lewes event, but now he has children it is out of the question.

Be warned any of you that wish for a bed at the Nurses Home for the night. Most of my neighbours were complete nutters.

I was there. Trecked across London and then down to Gillingham. Uni days gave me time to get to these crucial matches! Very depressing day - I remember the chants "we're so bad it's certifiable" and "Grange Hill, it's just like watching Grange Hill". Bad, bad days!
