Excellent summary, even reading that brings back some great memories.

You've missed THE Withdean highlight though.

The sight of disabled HOOLIGAN driving his mobility vehicle all over the pitch after the Man Citeh game.

Isnt it funny how we dont get to hear of TIMMYS pathetic dribblings on the argus website anymore.

Good stat:
Since Withdean hosted its first competitive game on the 7th August 1999, we have played 307 times. Are you ready for this - 143 have been victories, 73 have ended in draws and 91 have been lost on our own patch.

"My wife being zoomed in on by the Sky cameras after we ran on the pitch after we won the shootout. She was dancing around in the rain with a bloke called Fat Steve. Sky then used that clip in all the build up bits for the Play Off Final." - Phil Shelley.

You could have said Safeway...

Great memories well summarised

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

A great read as per usual and some great memories but one slight point, you said

being so rubbish in The Championship that when we lost at home to Sheffield Wednesday, we not only relegated ourselves, but condemned QPR, Crewe and Millwall to the drop as well.

QPR didn't get relegated that season.

Slightly less fat after an unsavoury incident before heading to Loftus Road for a new years day clash, if I remember rightly

Au contraire Cheers , but no old skoFrom The Argus). Plus if you're interested and to think of me you obviously are. a small literary agency are awaiting on a 3000- 5000 synopsis re my adventures experienced whilst on sabbatical if I can make it interesting enough. And of course it will proof read!

Good effort Brett good read.

there were a few bits I had to take out as it was way too long.unfortunately that was one, although the pitch invasion after got a brief mention

A great read as per usual and some great memories but one slight point, you said

I forgot it was bottom 3, not bottom 4 that got relegated, just had a brief look at the table. aplogies

 

[The Large One]

Great stuff, Brett.

One nerdy thing I can't resist... We won the old Division 4 in 1965, not Division 3.

Sabbatical?

Are you going to write it with a sneering undertone? You know, rambling on about how you could pick and choose a bit of work here and there, whilst acting all high and mighty over those that genuinely struggle to exist when they are out of work and boasting about your day trips or boozy jaunts without a care in the world. Effectively, turning your nose up at those that people that can't sleep or function properly because fate has not treated them kindly.

No I am not . And perhaps that occurred because at that time I was far from happy that I had lost my job and it was my way of deflecting how I really felt and really coped with the realisation that I no longer did a job I enjoyed and had lost the benefits, status and friendships that went with it.
