"Rocket Man"

I know you said season but The Zamora years were my most enjoyed for various reasons.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

the div 2 Championship for me, although the second half of the season in Div 1 with Coppell in charge was immense

 

[alex_brighton]

the year we won the play-offs
(simply for the play-off semi

 

[Beach Hut]

Championship survival year we had some fabulous away and home wins that season.

the season when we won div 2

we were INCREDIBLE that year.......games like reading at home

zamora was way too good for that league, it was actually embarassing at times

I saw every Withdean game last season, so it gets my vote.

I too saw every game. Last season started with shit football and ended with some decent pass and move football. We were improving but then we know what happened next.

Must be the division 2 championship season - Withdean was an absolute fortress from memory

It was becoming more and more encouraging as it went on, plus I got settled in my little area and it was all very pleasant. The football wasn't as good as the 2 championship seasons, but for me personally, last season was great at the Withdean. I actually do love the place in a way.

Hopefully next season it will be a happier place, with more people regularly going.

the coppell season for me. once he got things up and running we were superb and had he been appointed instead of hinshelwood we'd have stayed up that season, no question. do you remember the watford and derby home games, we were a genuine force in the championship. haven't hit those heights since.

closely followed by the league 1 (division three) title under taylor. unbeatable at home, almost unbeatable away - bobby was IMMENSE all season.

Championship - McGhee - Survival. For the sheer audacity of surviving against/beating the bigger fish with wage bills bigger than our turnover.

 

[Conkers]

It's gotta be this season as it's the first season i've seen more than 5 games at home

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

First one (or at least the first half of the first one) - back in Brighton after all those years. Closely followed by the second one, when we actually played some decent football for the first time in years

 

[Trigger]

Division 4 - Adams 1st for me, it remains to this day the only season where I did not miss a game and I thouroughly enjoyed all of them, we played some decent stuff back then and the away trips were immense.


And just a queury about this... League 1 - McGhee - promotied via play offs... Do you not give Coppell any credit for that season too? Remember we were four points clear when Knight let him go.

You are right
