Sorry to hear about your dad. Awful news. My best to you and your family.
My grandad took me to QPR at the Withdean when I was a nipper, 2004 I believe? I think we lost 3-2. My grandad is still around and we’ve got season tickets together so I’m enjoying all the football moments I can with him.

So sad to hear of your loss. Losing such an influential person in your life is hard - but gradually the wonderful past memories take precedence in the mind.
With this thought my dad first took me to see the Albion in 1952 - home against Newport. He died in 1973 but his love comes across to me every day still, and I'm 75 tomorrow!

Commiserations young man. Mine was my dad too - ashamed to say I can’t remember the exact game but similar era - Brian ‘Tiger Tawse was playing I think and we sat in the West Stand as my Dad thought that was the best view. My Dad died over 25 years ago but I still have very fond memories of him - as you will too of yours. RIP Mr. Robertson senior

I was 28 newly divorced, had moved to London and started a new job, one of my colleagues there was a young chap called Hugo, well known to this board, and still a good mate the best part of forty years later.
At work one afternoon he asked me if l fancied going to watch a football match that evening. Where I asked? presuming he would say one of the London clubs. Brighton he replied, I'm a big fan. Don't worry he said, we'll drive down after work and can be there in time for kick-off, then l'll drive you home after the game.
I went. It was a Second Division match versus Carlisle United at the Goldstone under the lights, 1984/85 season, and we won 4-1, l seem to remember Danny Wilson bagged a couple of the goals, but my memory may be decieving me.
Anyway l loved it, Hugo said to me, we are at home to Wolves on Saturday, fancy coming again? I went. This time is resulted in a 6-0 victory, and l was hooked, in no time at all l had bought a season ticket, and was regularly travelling to away games too.
The rest as they say, is history.
R.I.P. Mr.Robertson Senior.
It was a great start for an 8 year old!

My dad took me to Albion v Liverpool, Sept 1958. 2-2 draw. Been hooked ever since.
Really sorry to hear that Lamie.
My Dad took me to Port Vale v Brighton on 20th January 1990. We lost 2.1 and Codner scored for us.
All my best to you and your family.
Sorry to hear your sad news Lamie 
My Dad isn't a football fan but he got his friends to take me when I wanted to go, which was great of them and him. Would have been in 1979/80 season but I can't remember which actual game it was.
All the best to you and yours.

My dad took me too, March 1953 for my 8th birthday. Strangely he never went again, mainly because he worked in London on Saturdays and I didn't go again until 1955 but was a regular ever since.
Sadly I have now decided its just the odd game in future for me as I'm heading towards 80 but my son and grandsons have taken up the mantle in my place.

Really sorry to hear your news. My Dad (despite not liking football especially) took me to my first game
- Albion v Derby on the 6th September 1983. I've never really forgiven him.

Sorry for your loss.
It was my Dad who took me to my first game, 6th November 1982 vs Man Utd, my Grandad was also there as he was a steward on the South West gate. Since the Amex opened my Dad and I have had season tickets together and it’s really brought us closer. Next season my 10 year old son joins us as a season ticket holder too.

My dad took me to see Albion v Swindon 1976, and the love affair is still strong.

Sorry for your loss, sending you best wishes.
My uncle Bob Tottenham 77 3-1 @ The Goldstone, don’t recall too much, other than he protected me and was extremely proud it was my first game.
He also took me to my first away game at Maine Road 1984 I think we lost 2-0, as we were both excelled at the time up north.
He stayed up north with my auntie, moving to Scotland and currently Yorkshire, I’ve repaid him ever since with programmes, fanzines, info, photos every few weeks of the Amex being built, I owe him so much.
Sadly he’s been on an oxygen machine for the past year, I fear it won’t be long.

Rip Lamie’s dad. My old dad took me sometime in the mid 70s, I was either 6 or 7. It was an evening game. Cannot actually remember the match but I believe we won, not that it bothered me because I was hooked. Like so many others he never made it to the Amex. Thank the lord for dad’s who get the kids in to the Albion.
