What is your "I was there" Albion occasion?

[bhawoddy]

Liverpool away when we came back from 2-0 down to get a 2-2. Proper mental scenes when jonny Byrne got the 2nd.

 

[El Presidente]

That was a league game, and was Man City.

Correct, we were winning 2-1 when Sir Keith decided to help waste time by nodding the ball into the west stand terrace.

Can you imagine the outcry if something similar happened today?

 

[El Presidente]

Chester away 1997. We got wind that Bellotti was in their directors' box and tried to kick his car in.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Hereford 97.

As far as I am concerned, still the most important game in the Albion's history.

Without doubt.

 

[hitony]

I saw Ross Johnson score two goals in a game away at Swansea on a Friday night. Beat that!

Friday 5th February 1999 at the Vetch Field, I was there as well, ended up 2--2

 

[somerset]

For me of all the great moments I have been part of with the Albion, I think the stand out would be the whole Newcastle promotion game, including the train back with the players....... awesome experience, arriving at Brighton station at two in the morning, thousands waiting to cheer the team, and Teddy Maybank falling out of the train drunk as a skunk.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Although Wembley in 1983, the play-off final at the Mill Stad, and the Donny game at the Amex were wonderful experiences, for me without doubt THE most important game was definitely Hereford away.

I've always thought that was a real "do or die" game and I'm so glad I was there, even though it was bloody agony to watch. We were probably finished as a club if we had lost.

Drawing 1-1 at home to Sudbury town in the FA cup 1st round replay 1986 then losing the penalty shoot out 4-3 in front of around 4,000 at the goldstone one of the most painful nights I can remember OH YES I WAS THERE OCCASION , but it's those memories & defeats supporting your club that make all the victory's taste so much sweeter

 

[CHAPPERS]

Brighton 1-5 Millwall @ Pissfield

Could have been the most depressing evening there ever was but for some dark humour amongst the support. Outnumbered by Millwall.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Semi final
Wembley 3 times
Millennium stadium 1
Liverpool 0:1 & 1:2
Forest 0:1 Ryan
Man utd away 2:2

Loads of others

 

[Silverhatch]

Hereford.

Fans United, Gull's Eye campaigning, Samrah's investigative work, protests, pitch invasions, bar-snapping vs. York, our forced eviction from our spiritual home, a Phoenix-like resurrection in home form that saw us claw back a chance (just a chance) of redemption in a winner-takes-all last day fixture against our hosts... Sorry, but in terms of preamble and conclusion nothing comes close. We prevailed at Hereford and it was the end of our beginning.

 

[StillHateBellotti]

Hereford away for me, minibus from the down under bar, being so pissed it took me days to recover, standing on the fence all match, sorry to everyone who couldn't see.....and staying up. Mansfield at home that has been said, Bournemouth game on TV in FA Cup also showed our desperation.

 

[StillHateBellotti]

Chester away 1997. We got wind that Bellotti was in their directors' box and tried to kick his car in.

Cracking day that, went on some random shitty old coach.........

 

[fire&skill]

'ereford.

 

[chucky1973]

I have a few

Last game at the goldstone against doncaster & that Stuart storer goal
Anfield in 91 & coming back from 2.0 down against the best team in the land at the time to draw 2.2
First game at the Amex against Doncaster again

Pretty much the same for me as although I was at Anfield in 83 when we won in the F A Cup. Great great day

 

[LE19]

I was STILL there when Eric Potts scored his two late goals.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Done most of the significant events in the last 35 years. But FA Cup semi-final for me.........

 

[Stat Brother]

Losing to Kingstonian

 

[foul old ron]

Done most of the big games like Wembley x3, Cardiff, Donny x2 but one moment that I'm thrilled to have witnessed was Gary Hart scoring the first ever goal at the Amex in the senior cup final. Thought he deserved that.

 

[T soprano]

Cracking day that, went on some random shitty old coach.........

Don't know if it was 97 but I remember going to Chester and getting on a coach at 2am departing from west street after the clubs were closing (think it was a double decker coach) arrived in Chester around 6:45 in the morning with the police waiting for us , just told us to behave ourselves and have a good day

Think the score was 2-2
