SIX HUNDRED Weeks Since We left The Goldstone

[Mendoza]

RUDDY Hell thats a long time!!

With work due to start in around 6/7 weeks time, it seems like an eternity ago since the last game at the Goldstone.

So whats happened in that time to the fine people of NSC??

Personally I completed school, college, and graduated from Uni, as well as moving out of home, BEGUN working full time, and being lucky enough to travel the world and see England play away and in a World Cup.

In that time, I have seen the 3 promotions and 2 relegations, as well as watching my 400th, 500th and 600th Brighton games under 7 different managers, using about 327 goal keepers.

Sadly I also saw the passing of 2 Albion fans friends, and that is what is saddest about this whole sorry saga of us trying to find a place called home.

Cue X Factor type sob story......

I have lived a three different addresses had five different jobs since 26th April 1997 but I have never been so concerned about the way forward as I am now 'the screaming argus headline ' FALMER CONSTRUCTION DELAYED' 'Club blame economic downturn and Lewes DC' is inevitable and is probably already typeset

Clearly visible at the end of that movie: I've always loved the way Maskell takes down the Donnie keeper so Storer can score The Last Ever Goldstone Goal - 9 times out of 10 it'd've been disallowed.

[John Dorian]

I have left primary school, Secondary school, college and UNIVERSITY and have nearly set my own company up...how time flies !!!

 

[Hiney]

Been made redundant

Two more children
Loads of SHIT
Loads of good stuff
One child has left home
Put on weight
Made loads of Albion friends

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

I've never been to able to go watch Brighton off my own back at a real home.

 

[Emily's Mum]

Just shed a tear or two.

I've had one more baby, left husband & children, left job I'd been in for 20 years, moved house twice, travelled thousands of miles to watch the Albion and met 'the one'

I feel quite priviledged to have watched the Albion all through the glory years, and I will be in floods of tears when they run out at Falmer for the first time

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

I now have grey hair on me bonce, I need glasses, I really hope I make Falmer before I start going bald, I'm heading straight for what will be the equivaient of the Goldstones West Stand old boys...

My daughter, who was born two months after the last game, is nearly as tall as me now.

Soccer was Pre Premiership as Man United won the league again. Pete Sampras won Wimbledon and some youngster called Tiger Woods started playing really well.
Titanic was the biggest film of the year and it was the 20th anniversary of the Star Wars trilogy.
MMbop was a number one hit in England as some whiny band called Coldplay hit the charts, along with pop sensations STEPS. And of course there was THAT song called Candle in the Wind, by Elton's John

First time I've seen that compilation. Made me well up at the end. Silly old bugger!

Stuart Storer scoring that goal always GUARANTEES hairs standing up on the back of my neck, and goosebumps.

Looked great at the time from where i was in the west stand If memory serves the linesman flagged and the ref dismissed his opinion.

Ref obviously knew what it meant at the time!!

It didn't "look" at all from where I was stood - in the group next to the church! Good view of the north penalty area, though,,,,,,,
