No way on a wet miserable Saturday afternoon at Withdean drenched to the skin would I have ever thought/ believed a few years later we would be beating what were then big time teams Ajax and AEK in their own backyard. We are currently living the dream and long may it continue
I have just had a notification that 10 years ago today I was at Dean Court

Ajax down to 10. Bergius is a stupid, stupid boy. He should have got sent off V us instead and this wouldn't have happened! Waste of time that tackle - what have you got to gain by that?

Many mixed reports of what happened Albion fans gassed by mistake, drifting in from outside or gassed on purpose?
2 1st hand reports I’ve got our about 100 (numbers so going for more like 50) tried to attack the brighton end ob tear gassed them to get them away with the gas wafting over

The tear gas that was deployed at the end of the game was at AEK supporters who wouldn’t clear the bowl or immediate area. A number of cannisters were fired resulting in the gas coming back into the stadium due to the still night. I know a number of you were affected (as were we) we gave reassurance to those who needed it straight after and informed fans of what had happened. To be clear this was not aimed at Brighton fans at all and police have praised your excellent behaviour.

More like 20 including a bloke in a suit lol. Rest correct. Tear gas was bad but only for a few minutes

My report is first hand. I went down to the concourses after the final whistle to get a beer and found a Dad comforting his son who had been hit by a projectile over the wire fence in the lower tier. While talking to them suddenly I couldn’t see of breathe, quite surreal, not sure what prompted it
