Remember that game. Loads of Brighton in the home end that day. It was the Arthur Waite that palace fans used back then as the home end. Brighton fans in the seats above as well as in amongst them. Also remember being questioned on the coach about the stabbing.

Everyone was questioned, plus everyone had their names and addresses taken.

not heard that one before , mind you my first experience of an away day with the Mid Sussex crowd was Palace on boxing day in 1983, when a certain BH resident now of Worthing went to Selhurst the week before and bought 100 tickets in the home end for the two coach loads that went. I don't think many saw the whole game . Never forget a certain Ian B from HH giving his name to a copper as 'Stanley Blade' ,much to the amusement of those around him on the coach, when we all had to give our details after a palace fan was knifed after the game
Not the first time you've had to give your details:whistle:

I don't recall the discount vouchers ,but you are correct about us barely getting through the turnstiles before it all kicked off , the lad who I sat with on the coach lasted all of 20 seconds before getting ejected !

I was at that one,the only chance of playing them that season. Came in during the first half if it's the same game you were thinking.

Memorys a bit vague but I'm sure it was just before KO I was up by the tea hut when they came in ,didn't take long before it became obvious who they were:wrong:
