Brighton V Palace @ the Withdean 02/03 if my memory serves me correct.

That was a game and a half, wasn't it? We needed something to make up for the 5-0 earlier in the season, but just couldn't get past that keeper Kiraly, the one who played in pyjamas. Best 0-0 game I've seen on TV apart from the Italy vs England game was the Arsenal vs Real Madrid game in the Champions League a few years ago, with Henry, etc, playing. Henry was immense that night and did everything except score.

sometimes question that gate at WHL

48,000? the place was rammed

the reason I say this,is my brother went up there for a Man Utd game a couple of seasons earlier and the gate was 60,000!

how they got another 12,000 in that ground that day I'll never know

I remember Graham Barrett hitting the woodwork. So close.

Mine to, real end to end drama - always stuck in the mind as a classic 'not a bore, goal less draw'. Will have to look up the Albion line-up.

1 Digweed
2 Oliver
3 Pearce
4 Wilson
5 Young*
6 O'Reilly
7 Penney
8 Saunders
9 Fashanu
10 Connor
11 Mortimer
12 Keown

the gate was only 10,000 seem to recall it being a balmy late summer's evening,thought the gate was higher than that

a week later we lost at home to Leeds 1-0,remember that one too,only 9,000???

Away to Plymouth in the FA Cup 20 November 1999, if I remember right we had 2 red cards and somehow survived 90 mins in one of the most one sided games I can remember.

January 1967. Played for the school team in the morning then bunked off the coach home to go to the Recreation Ground. Third round of the FA Cup - Aldershot 0 Brighton 0. My first Albion match.
Freezing cold, but the ground so rammed that I actually could take both feet off the ground at once on the way out!

Not sure about the best but two of the worst have to be Bristol City away (12/13 season) and MK Dons away (last game of the 09/10 season). Notable only for the awful Diego Arismendi and a 16 year old Lewis Dunk making his full Albion debut.

Albion Vs Spurs approx 1977. End to end all action but nobody delivering the killer blow although both teams tried their darned best. Great
game described by Brian Moore on The Big Match as one of the best no score draws he had ever witnessed.

For me, too. For a 0-0 draw to live on in the memory after nearly 40 years shows what a great game it was. 48,000 in White Hart Lane helped, though.

That's the one for me too. Eric Steele was superb that day.

Another vote here for the 0-0 draw at White Hart Lane in 1977

Spurs were the classic Big Side feeling sorry for themselves having to slum it in the second division with the likes of us.
I travelled up from Bournemouth in the back of a mini van and it was my first away game at one of these big famous sides.
I have no idea whether we had to have tickets or paid on the gate. Such things were not a foregone conclusion in those days.
48,000 packed in to White Hart Lane, the majority like us standing. Ex-Spurs legend Mullers managing the Albion
I expect if Opta had been around in those days the possession figures would have shown Spurs had the best of it, but we earned a deserved draw imo

This one would get my vote too!!

Me as well.
An absolutely fantasic match played in an electric atmosphere. Murder getting out - almost literally...

Sometime around November 1997 I watched back to back 0-0 draws. Hull followed by hartlepool away! At the end of the hartlepool game we jumped around like we'd won the fa cup. Points were hard to come by in those days! Anyway, that was a great week!

Definitely the 0-0 against Palace in March 2003 for me.
Anyone who went will know that we genuinely thrashed them nil nil.
