BLIMEY!!! I've just found a load of photos from the last game at The Goldstone

[westy]

Kind of forget how close the north stand was to the pitch until seeing those pics. We were just to the right of where they were taken. Will be nice to be able to cheer the lads on from a proper stand right behind the goal at Falmer..! Bring on the new north stand.

Great photos Hiney. I'm in tears, god I miss the old place.

You've got a bloody good memory, I'm the same age as you and only remember brief moments.

photo 2 of the last batch looks like the very first original Hiney Art.

Hiney - you look so, how can I put it, YOUNG.

That's what Weston's Organic does for you I suppose.

I was on the East Terrace that day, with my dad.

Fantastic pictures Hiney. Brings back floods of memories of a unique day.

 

[Mendoza]

Is that Jam the Man berry in goal with you?

 

[John Bumlick]

[Caveman]

Great to see old photos of the Goldstone. I can just about see myself in one.

Great days!

Top work, chap. I was standing almost directly behind you, behind the goal with my back right against the back wall of the North Stand, under the 'O' of the 'Hove Superstore' Co-Op advert. That's how accurately I remember my spot. In years to come, perhaps we'll come to love Falmer, but it'll never be the same - the joys of standing up and celebrating when we scored, especially at our end, can never be recovered I fear.

I was stood not far away from where those photos were taken from.
Great memories but now seems so long ago,cannot wait for Falmer.

 

[Dandyman]

Good work, Hiney.

I've still got some of the netting from the North Stand goal.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Hiney - you look so, how can I put it, YOUNG.

Not to mention, how can I put it, SMILEY.

Smashing photos nonetheless!

The DEMON apple has taken a heavy toll

The photo copied in post #28 seems to have an old school mate of mine, Chris Smith, in it in prime focus (arm raised)....definately NOT Stuart Pearce though!

 

[Superphil]

Hiney, you've bought me down, just a little bit mate, that ground holds great great memories, but that day, well, it was a pretty sad day. Glad to see you were able to raise a smile, I don't think I did at all that day.

 

[Northstander]

haha I remember trying to smoke in the old place but was so cramped I had to keep my smoking had conveniently raised so it was a simple one motion move, cig to mouth!!

And the Goal Surges.....fantastic!!!!!

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Hiney you look like Timmy Mallet in those snaps.

 

[portslade seagull]

Cut myself a piece of goalnet that day with the help of a pen knife loaned by one of the policeman standing by the posts ...... still got it as well
