Back of the North stand.
The East near the Man U fans.David Beckham made his Manchester United debut as a second half substitute against the Albion in the League Cup at The Goldstone.
Where in the ground did you watch it from?
I was sat in the West️
Gleefully chanting “who the fcking hell are you “ at David Beckham.
I can confirm I am now familiar with who he is.

Unusually, having arrived very close to kick off, I was at the back of the North.
Beckham came on and we equalised about 20 seconds later, and at the end of the celebration I found myself half way down the North Stand!
Best crowd surf I’ve ever had at a match

In the North Stand, slightly to the left of the goal, about two thirds up (at least that's where I usually stood).
I remember those mid-week games at the Goldstone, when I used to get the train back to London from Hove station with work the next day. Knackered, usually cold and usually miserable after we'd lost 1-0 to Barnsley or whoever. I swear in those days I was one of the very few fans doing that. Now there are loads of Albion fans who travel back to London. Bloody JCLs!

East terrace - Could only get tickets for the away end for this one.
Given all the conplaints about the atmosphere at Falmer, I note that the only song that stands out there is the same "because of boxing day" song people sing now. For about 10seconds.
Otherwise, all you hear is a bunch of moaning.

We're in the pipe, 5 by 5
East stand wanker back in those days, with a foray into the North every 3 games or so just for the surges. Oh I miss the days of pay on the day, go where you felt like on the day. Hate the new squeezed-together seats we have nowadays (even though I've gotten old and need the sit down).

The first few highlight clips in that video have "The North Stand Greatest Hits" as a sound track... so nostalgic remembering that place and the way the chants atmosphere generated from fans who wanted to do it being tightly packed in together in a smaĺl central space...
