First away game you remember attending.

[Carrot Cruncher]

and because of this you became a Janner.....

It was because of this very game game that meant I DEFINATELY didn't become a Janner!!! In fact the only team down that way I had a soft spot for was Exeter.

 

[Chicken Run]

Palace away - Boxing Day 1983. We won 2-0. Neil Smillie and Danny Wilson scored.

Anyone else there when Henry Hughton ended Gerry Ryan's career in 1985?

Yes was there I remember Big Frank Worthington lumping Henry and notbeing sent off

He did have COOL hair back then, Milli Vanilli mullet from what I remember.

They had him, Ronnie Jepson and some kid that looked like the Milky Bar kid on the wing, oh and Peter Fox in goal.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Palace away in the 5 penalties game I think. 1989?

Taken shortly before going on stage to mime to "Girl You Know It's True"...

 

[Gwylan]

Hereford away in 1976.

We got there to discover Fred Binney had been dropped (which is why he didn't look happy when we saw him outside and asked him to knock a couple of goals in) and some skinny kid called Peter Ward was making his debut. Disgraceful, we thought....how little we knew.

We drew 1-1 with Wardy scoring within 50 seconds and a dodgy equaliser for them.

Boxing day against Fulham in the seventies, I think we won 2-1, i am sure some stat will tell me if i am wrong.

Jingle bells and all that!

 

[Simon Morgan]

Orient away in the first season at Gillingham. 3-1 defeat with Robbie Reinelt giving us the lead. I think Carl Griffiths scored one of theirs and took the piss a bit, not exactly pleasing our fans

 

[Man of Harveys]

I reckon my dad and I were the ONLY Albion fans who were there to see Malcolm Poskett score that hat-trick at the Valley - c'mon, prove me wrong.

This was still in the era when you could walk right around the terraces in the ground - I remember we walked to the end we were attacking in the 2H.

 

[Rookie]

Oldham late 80's, all the Junior Seagulls on a (long) trip north. I'd never been that far north what a dump!

Arsenal v Albion nov 2nd 1980. arsenal won 2-0

 

[Soul Finger]

Aged 14 away at Watford in 1988. Lived just down the road.

Had a flag with Brighton across it and WGC going down. An Albion fan asked me what the WGC stood for and I said 'well good club'.

He believed me. I lived in Welwyn Garden City at the time.

 

[Tony Le Mesmer]

Plymouth, 13th September 1986. It was my 10th birthday, we'd just moved down to bumpkinland and the game finished 2-2 with the legend that is Terry Connor scoring with Steve Penney.

That was my first ever away game too. Though only 9.
Stood with the home fans so couldn't celebrate when we got our equalisers (last minute too!!)

Abiding memory was how wet, cold and miserable it was and some p!ssed up yocal trying to sing "Us Greens are gonna win. You Blues are gonna Lose...."
