I wanted to wait until a real match and went for Donny instead. Glad I did and the view as I walked up the steps will stay with me forever

As with Andrew Crofts and Gary Dicker, the youth team are allowed one over age player.
OGH had scored the first goal at Withdean, and asked Gus if he could play in this game as it was our new home. He was determined to score.

Yeah the contrast between the Withdean experience, and the Amex version, couldn't have been more different.

Indeed, but I don't think OGH was under contract with us anymore at that point, he was technically just a random guy who got drafted in to play that match.
I was there and took a few pictures, which I posted on Flickr. There was a creative commons flag I had set, which meant that anyone could use your photos as long as they credited you. A couple of years later my snap of the East Stand appeared in the Metro and someone let me know.

I was there. What a decade it’s been. It was my 14th birthday that day. I went to my first game at 4. And I’m 24 today.
Getting a bit old now.

I've got an upside down video clip of the goal (wasn't very good with mobile phones in those days) if anyone's interested and can tell me how to upload it.

How soon is now?
Yep, I was there.
Didn't think i'd get a ticket for the Donny game but really wanted to see the first goal scored.
Ended up with a ticket for Donny game as well - double bonus!

Yep, and at the Donny game I wouldn't even go and get a peek at the pitch. Waited until 5 mins b4 KO and got the full flag-waving madness - overwhelming

We were there. Felt like we had just moved into a new house and hadn’t realized how good it was. The atmosphere and game didn’t really live up to the billing but that day was more about finding your seat and the nearest beer kiosk.

Not a complaint, an obvservation.
