Enjoy playing sardines with your fellow supporters on matchday trains.

Hating Palace & everything about their pathetic, rundown, suntanned, laughable shambles of a football club

 

[Mellotron]

OK, I've been staring at the opening post for 28 minutes. How much longer before I start to see what this Magic Eye is supposed to reveal?

It's bollocks, everyone just pretends they can see the ship. I'm staring at that opening post and there is NOTHING there.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

You MUST be able to keep the faith

 

[LamieRobertson]

number 11 is my favourite

 

[Rich Suvner]

Oh, you guys!

Come along Watford - the more the merrier!

M4 to central London?!! A3 all the way.

Had to have been at Hereford, or it doesn't really count. Even if one had no ticket, one needed to have gone there on that day.

Under 10's are exempt, but need to have no other club in the world they like, and hate the premiership fans at school to apply.

6/10 for me. And I'm assuming you include the Lego stand at the Goldstone in number 9. But why would you have been in the away end at Withdean?

 

[wigman]

I ****ing hate Plymouth after some of there lot attacked us with bottles in 86 so no ****ing soft spot for me.

Would that of been the 2-2 game when they came at us in the park afterwards with bottles and stones ?
They soon retreated with we pelted them back with their own ammo.

But the West End was never a home area ...

And I know my arithmetic is poor, but how do you get 7 stands at Withdean? North, South, U-bend, the internet stand, the one at the middle of the east end, and the away end. Are you counting the police box?

 

[The Large One]

Knowing the first two verses of 'Sussex By The Sea' wouldn't be a bad start.

The 'away' end at Withdean, was used for home fans, for the Portsmouth FA Cup game I remember, as I was in it.

He counts the disabled bit under the control box. He's wrong, as it wasn't 'a stand'.

You could sit there & it had a 'roof' & thus qualifies shurely

I don't think you have to actually support Brighton to be a fan. You just have to like them.
