How many of NSC were attending matches in the REAL dark days?

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Class of 88 reporting.

 

[malcolm prescott]

season ticket last 17 years without a break until this one went yesterday first time this season "pants" however already looking forward to the next game I can get along to its in the blood

 

[Springal]

92/93 was my first season, i was 6

 

[tedebear]

Nope I haven't - but all the oldies I hang about with start every sentence "in the Goldstone Days" or "when we were at Gillingham" or "we've been worse"...

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Yes. Me, my mum and dad.

 

[The Large One]

I'll raise my glass high
And say wih satisfaction, "I was there...'

 

[vulture]

First game in 1979

Season ticket holder 1988-2000 2004-present

4 year gap due to having kids and being short of money

 

[Soul Finger]

Yup

 

[Kylies Stunt Arse]

1982 - present

 

[Dennis and Lois]

we go less now than we used to for a couple of reasons

Withdean is a craphole (although we do appreciate what it has done)

Its too expensive

We were regulars at The Goldstone since 78 and would go even if we dropped into the conference

 

[dcseagull]

Yep, 87 onwards.

 

[Braders]

no.

 

[Icy Gull]

no.

Nothing to be sad about, it was only about 20 times worse than now but it did have a couple of amazing highs. Hereford being about the only one that I can remember. Orient at home was quite stressfull as well. The Gillingham years are best forgotten, consider yourself lucky not to have suffered those games

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Nope - had only just got into football, and was following Man U-sodding-nited, along with half of my school.

Saw my first game at Gillingham in 98 (Darlington won 4-0, Gabbiadini hat-trick) which i found hugely enjoyable, so Dad started taking me fairly regularly once we moved to Withdean.

i did suffer them through radio though

during the Goldstone days i couldn't go because

a/ we couldn't afford it and b/ i couldn't go on my own (my mum and dad split and hes a Chelsea fan)

i would've been able to go on my own from the Gillingham years onwards but again couldn't afford it

so when we touched down at Withdean i was determined NOT to miss it - 99-06 Withdean years think i've missed about 5 games overall.

 

[Scotty Mac]

i was there

 

[Gerbil]

I know someone that WASN'T

 

[Lankyseagull]

Yep - I was there.

If those who weren't think things are that bad after yesterday's result, I hope the never have to experience the feeling of total despair I had at half-time on the terraces at Hereford when we were trailing 0-1, looking straight down the barrell of relegation to the Conference.
