Poll: Final whistle - Last game at Withdean

[supaseagull]

Pitch invasion maybe but that's it. I can't believe that ANYBODY is even contemplating vandalising the stadium in order to get a 'souvenir'. Remember that unlike the Goldstone Withdean will NOT be demolished afterwards, the plan is to leave it as an asset for the city and any vandalism will just re-enforce the sterotype that all football fans are mindless thugs.

Also think of the negative publicity. The club are hoping to start a new era at Falmer, and instead they'll have to spend a lot of effort explaining away why Withdean was left as a ruined shell. (They might well have to pay to refurbish it). It will defintely take the gloss of the Falmer opening with people like LDC harumphing in the background that they were right all along.

This...

 

[Lord Bracknell]

It WON'T be the last game at Withdean.

It will be the Albion's last game at Withdean.

I'm sure the place will have a long future as a second rate sports stadium for the city.

 

[Albumen]

Depends on the league table. Whatever happens it will be nice to say goodbye.
Just a gentle walk across the pitch maybe.

 

[Napper]

Withdean means nothing to me. From the final whistle it will be dead in my eyes

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

oh, i wasn't being serious when i suggested that we smash it up

 

[Paddy B]

i will be running riot i warn everyone now!

OK what does this mean exactly?!!

 

[Dandyman]

I intend to decapitate the Head Steward and mount his severed head in the GDC trophy room.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

It WON'T be the last game at Withdean.

It will be the Albion's last game at Withdean.

I'm sure the place will have a long future as a second rate sports stadium for the city.

Am l not right in thinking that the Albion will continue to play some reserve and youth team games at Withdean?, sure l heard or read that somewhere.

Why isnt gullys girls a poll option?

 

[Tomnorthi]

I want the corner flag , but I will not be going as far as ripping out my seat.

 

[Easy 10]

I'll be making a BEELINE for the exits at the final whistle, and I WON'T be looking back.

I can't get away from that slum fast enough.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

If you lot destroy the seating it might unearth the giant flag!

and a giant bill for the club!

 

[Braders]

Why isnt gullys girls a poll option?

[PutYourHandsUp...]

because some of us have called dibs already

I'm sure we dont mind... as long as we are taken straight to the pub lol!!!

 

[Notters]

People who want to take souvenirs must be too young to have been to the goldstone. Withdean is nothing like a proper home and means nothing to me.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

The last game at the Goldstone is very different to the last one at Withdean as the Goldstone was our traditional home ground, it was also being bulldozed shortly after the last game and by taking something, some fans may have felt they were in some small way keeping the ground alive and/or hoping some of the momentos could be taken and added to the new ground (where ever it was going to be) such as getting the bit of turf added to the new grounds pitch, thus providing a link between the two.

Withdean on the other hand was and has only ever been a temporary solution, fans haven't really accepted it as their home ground in the way that the Goldstone was and what it meant to everyone. Withdean will continue to be there after we leave, and anyone who wishes to reminisce can go back and see the ground again, something we were unable to do with the Goldstone.

Ridiculous. Yes we've been there about 5 years too long but to say it means nothing is a bit silly. Would you rather have played another season or so at Gillingham? You quite simply must have been grateful that we had the opportunity to return to Brighton and play there originally. EVERY Brighton fan was. I know it has been tough over recent seasons and many like myself have grown tired but never forget it served a purpose.

 

[portslade-by-sea]

Who are we playing that day?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I intend sprinting to the bus stop and using my four quid Surcharge Tax On Local People, sorry 'Travel Voucher'. for a free ride back to the Brewery Tap for the first time ever. Yay!

 

[Fgt01]

let's smash the shit hole up
