Brighton v York City

[Working class pride]

The best of times, the worst of times. ?
The best of times as Brighton fans gained respect up and down the land.
The worst of times as the club itself was such a mess.
Thoughts, memories and any clips..

Could only make the first game-what needed to be done to get the attention of the world(just before the world cup)-some press concluded it was a riot caused by militant groups but it was just a cry for help really......

at 3:16 a fan from the South West Terrace just in front of me walked onto the pitch,shaking his head from side to side,emotion across his face,his arms sweeping as if to say enough is enough...

as one very passionate fan once said-

"We love the Albion,We care for the Albion,in the end direct action is the only way"

Its "the war years" that makes the story of the new ground that bit special.

The bloke in the 1950' s Albion shirt having a go at everyone looke like a very well known NSCer to me.

sometimes direct action is the only way
who says that us southern softies are not passionate
the "war years" are over but must never be forgotten

Hope the two little lads drapped with the Union flags are still Albion fans.

certainly different to the 300 palace teenagers that got laughed at when they walked around the city of london. Bless the Nigel's cotton socks

Does anybody know or know of the dear old lady that gets out of her seat from the south stand and just leaves the Goldstone after the Doncaster match-
pictured here at 0:16 with the head scarf and glasses,always sat there in the South Stand-

It really moves me watching this

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Right before Euro 96', brought ,mass media attention to the cause.

this is spooky-taken just before we really took off as a club,before my time but a good watch..

 

[One Robbie Reinelt]

Brings a lump to the throat.

Seems incredible how far we've come since then. Makes you proud to be a fan of such a fantastic club. Proper football, proper fans.

SEAGULLS!

Without wishing to stir it, ok maybe a little bit, but can anyone post the footage of the palace fans demo, you know for a laugh..

So the difference between Brighton and palace is Brighton have the "War Years" and palace have 300 spotty Nigels getting laughed by everyone that saw them in The City..

Blimey if they said their was 300 of them you can rest assured there was only 150.

...and the other 150 couldn't make it because there was a bus replacement service on the trains..
