The Goldstone - Pre Match beers

[Ringmer Seagull]

What was your watering hole of choice?. Almost always The Exchange in Hove for me with the occasional trip to the Bosun if Palace were in town (now that does age me !),

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I was 16 when we played our last game at the Goldstone. Cans purchased by a friend that looked 18 when he turned 13 was the drink of choice!

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

The Stadium at the bottom of Holmes Avenue.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

Yep the Exchange it was

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Was the pub just outside called The Albion? I was too young to drink when I was doing the 70's/early 80's ... but that's the one I always remember.

 

[Stat Brother]

The Harbour View and taxi in for us.

Cliftonville or whatever it is called now for a couple of pints of the black stuff.

 

[Miami Seagull]

Driving down from Horsham we always used the Neville. Fond memories!

 

[smudge]

The William Tell in Brighton, then a swift one in the Cliftonville.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Used to do a veritable pub crawl every home game. Meet a mate off the train from Eastbourne at Brighton station. Couple in the Railway Bell. Football Special to Hove. Another couple in the pub by the station that always kept changing its name. Walk along the back streets, pick up a programme by the church, then one for the road at the Hove Park Tavern. Is it my imagination or were the bogs always SWIMMING?

Yes the bogs were always swimming.

Was it my imagination or was the church one of the most popular places to get a programme, always a queue.
