Goldstone Northstand memories.

[AmexRuislip]

My best memory in the old Northstand, was seeing Jimmy Case thundering through on goal to score against Norwich in the 1983 cup run.

Smelly, dirty toilets
It was dilapidated
Smuggling into the ground Celery sticks
Smoking stood halfway up the north stand at half time
Getting off at Hove station for a pre-match beer or two
Being taken into what was the tiny players lounge when i must have been 8 years old
It was despite its faults, our home

Starting right in the middle when you were 16 and slowly moving to the sides the older you got... and ending up sitting in the South!

I threw an apple at Paul Stewart as he was taking a corner. I was 10. Gazza scored twice.

Was in the North for that one, also recall the chant of 'What a waste of money' aimed at Gary Line-acre

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

Saw my first game there as a 10 year old and was still in there for our last gme against Doncaster 30 years later.

Too many memories to put on this thread

Crowd surges, it'll never be the same without them! I used to love standing towards the back of the North Stand and then ending up down near the front after a goal was scored with my feet hardly touching the ground! Happy days!

The millwall fan pulling out a shotgun

 

[Geriatric Seagull]

The 3-3 draw against Burnley when Bob McNicol scored and the whistle protest when Steve Gritt took over. Years apart but two games never to be forgotten!

 

[Boys 9d]

The many occasions I stood next to and talked to opposition fans in the days before it was necessary to have separation.

Getting beaten up by Doncaster rovers fan in the mid sixties after chanting, "alick Jeffrey is poof", probably deserved it!

 

[pastafarian]

Everyone going completely utterly bananas when Terry Connor banged in the second against Liverpool was one of my many fav moments

So many, working on the gates, the surges, the amazing game when we scored two in the last 5 to win the game.

Gary Nelson goal v Arsenal and the 10 minutes afterwards

 

[sod1]

the weasel Belotti had the balls to come into the directors box versus Darlington, i saw red and jumped into the west stand no mans lands and then into the directors box , only to see him fleeing and the old bill standing in my way

Punch up with Tottenham fans in very early 80s. My visiting friend (from Scotland) had her nose broken

 

[janee]

Oh and sneaking in as an under 16 when I was older (and 6 months pregnant)

The Ian Chapman thunderbolt against Bournemouth in a 3-3 thriller always springs to mind.

The atmosphere against Barnet (final floodlit game) & Wigan penultimate home game were superb, probably the best home support I have ever witnessed anywhere.

Although the other end the Sneaky George goal than chant was priceless and also the first rendition of the No No Nogan song when we had a corner, it even had Kurt pissing himself laughing.

Starting your first chant was always a big moment, remember being so proud and telling your mates at school.

And as someone mentioned earlier the surges after a goal which occasionally resulted in a lost shoe.
