Favourite Withdean Pictures

[Jimmy Grimble]

Apologies if there's been a thread of this nature before, but it'd be nice to see a collection of some photos from the Withdean years, be it iconic or unusual, from a personal collection or the internet/a proper photographer.

Here's one from the Man City cup game. Not sure who took it/where it's from, I've just had it on my laptop for a while.

Also got one I took of two of my mates watching us draw 3-3 with Hartlepool in the FA Cup (2008) in the woods.

There's a great picture somewhere of the early Withdean years, with people peering over from behind South Stand during a match. Anyone got it?

I watched a couple of games in the woods. Almost fell out of the tree following Cullip's header against Chesterfield.

I spent a lot of time at Withdean.I'll never forget the last game. I had to sit in the family stand after a long row with the staffing managers where I worked, I was desperate not to miss the last game. In the end I was lucky to go, but after being there so regularly for so long it meant a lot to be there in the end. I loved Withdean, even when I hated it for being rubbish, she was our home and so much of my Brighton supporting history is there.

The Amex is a chapter which will be the finest period in our clubs history, but never forget Withdean.

Withdean at Night

I used to love walking down the hill from Withdean Road and seeing the ground below at nightime with the floodlights on.

Judging by that Photo you were sat not far from me at the Huddersfield match...assuming you was still sat there. Those I suppose in that family stand no one is really far from anyone

That's a great picture.


http://www.albionalbum.co.uk/teams/torquay/02_09_2000/00018-14.shtml This site has loads of Withdean pics. I'm sure its run by a user on here, but I can't remember his name.

Even in those days the West Stand Lower were recognised (advertising hoarding in the background - just below the guy with the longest scarf in the world bar none!)

Am I the only one who thought it was a really picturesque little ground?

I never understood people regularly referring to is a "shithole"....

Small? yes
Unusual? yes
Very basic? yes

But "shithole"? Not in the slightest.....

It had a charm of its own - and great memories.
