So how many Brighton games have you been to?

[Herr Tubthumper]

We shall be, even my mate who you "out trumped" last time said he wants to go to that one.

Ha ha. That was an amusing journey. I'll look out for you.

 

[CAPTAIN GREALISH]

around 600 at a guess? jcl

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

About 350 starting in 1966, regular at the Goldstone between '72 to '87.

Would have been many more but also used to play footie and other sport on Saturdays. Then shift work, family and mortgages prevented me attending more regularly until the last few years at Withers.

Probably missed about 50 more games in that period due to supporting Sussex cricket, always a dilemma.

Made me think how many other footie games I've been to - must be at least 75 supporting Ingerland or as a neutral watching other Sussex clubs (mainly Horsham & Lewes) and London clubs with mates.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Somewhere between 150 and 200 I would estimate. Mostly between 1976 and 1984. Season ticket 2002-3. Around 20 different away grounds. Average going to be pushed up significantly with ST from this season onwards though

 

[Surf's Up]

Probably 4-500 - its sort of gone in phases though so difficult to be precise ... became a season ticket holder at Gillingham, because I reckoned that was when the club needed the most support, and still am.

 

[Kenhead]

438.
My first game was a 1-0 defeat to Exeter at Gillingham in Febuary 1999, my first away game was Preston in 2002.

 

[Horsham Gull]

around 250 i think i counted

Jesus! How many games have you missed since 1999 then?

 

[Kenhead]

Jesus! How many games have you missed since 1999 then?

Without sitting down and spending ages working it all out assumening Brighton have played 50 games a season (including cups) then they have played over 600+ times since I've started going.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

I reckon about 150-200, could be more, could be less, its been fairly difficult to having lived in France from November-May every year from 2001-2010.

 

[LowKarate]

about 800-900 in the last 30 years.

 

[kevtherev]

I wouldn't have a scooby, started going in late 70's few games here and there whenever I was taken. Every game home and away for several seasons in mid 80s. Season Ticket Withdean for years and years...Somewhere in the region of 60/70 away grounds and home games god knows...Must be 300-400 I would imagine home and away in total.

 

[southwickseagull]

Cant be arsed to read every post, but a mate of mine has done close on a thousand consecutively, home and away, over all i should think he's done close on two thousand. Me? About 600 i suppose, but i made the mistake of being married for a few years, and got grounded. Lol

 

[Washboard Didgets]

Rough guess 100-150.

I've done 30-40 odd away grounds, but several of them multiple times (Orient, Peterborough, Charlton, Bournemouth etc) - so reckon at least 50-60 away games.

Must have done sround 15-20 games at Gillingham. Hard to say how many at Withdean, plus every single game at The Amex - apart from Sunderland

 

[BHAryan]

im 17 and was born in '94, since 2000 ive had a season ticket and been to every home game except maybe 5-6. I've also attended well over 45 away games and visited almost 30 grounds (visited some twice or 3 times)
Some may call me a JCL becauase im young but we all have to start supporting somewhere and for my age..

 

[Hunting 784561]

First went as a kid in season 1970-71, but missed many games in the mid 80s as I got married and moved to London.

So - based on an average of 20 games per season ( mainly full seasons, but minus time spent in London)

= 41 seasons x 20 games per season on average

= 820 games

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Interesting to see the ratio of away games are very high. Reasons being obvious over the past 14 years, but percentage wise, we must be one of the best supported teams away from home in the country.

 

[RickofBHAFC]

Since 1979 probably about 600 or so games.

 

[Seagull1967]

First game was in 1976 and went to nearly every home game unto 2001. Missed 17 homes during this period. Away games over the same period on average went to 8 games per season. In the last 10 years I have been to 19 games.

So it must be over 800 games for me.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Somewhere between 250-300 for me.
