[Albion] Hereford v Brighton & Hove Albion - 3pm

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

No, they describe a few pissed lads falling over a seat “limbs”

They wouldn’t have a word for what went on behind that goal

Top, top, limbs?

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Our coach broke down on the way up to Hereford. We were beside ourselves with worry because we were not sure the beer would last. ……… replacement coach

Beer on a coach, them were the days!

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

A crazy crazy game looking at it again, totally devoid of any skill whatsoever, and definately a day to stand up and be counted, where only the result mattered not how it was obtained.

I think the ref was probably our 12th man, almost all of his decisions seemed to go our way. Did Dick pay him l wonder?

 

[Stato]

Actually welled up a bit at the end. Two days after Blair was elected too. Although the Albion was on its knees, there seemed so much promise for the country. 25 years on and the opposite seems true.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

What the **** is Gritt doing bringing Reinelt on. He's useless

He pretty much was in every other game he played for us to be fair.

That one goal though was enough to propel him to legendary status for evermore though.

 

[Luke93]

Enjoyed watching that.

Keep yer nuts down after the game lads. Could get a bit tasty

My mate’s false front tooth is a souvenir he’s still got!

Didn't it just

Just our luck to have parked in the cattle market where the two warring battles met

Anyway, couldn't watch the repeat, felt physically sick with nerves watching the real thing so don't want to re-live that experience. Must have smoked 10 fags in the first half/half time.

Pants game, amazing bundle for the goal, and fantastic result - kids, you missed a treat

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Wasn’t involved by the way, I learned about it the next day

 

[Silverhatch]

The most visceral, wretched football experience of my life. Nothing’s come close. Not sure anything ever will.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Stuck this album one side of a C90 (The Bluetones were on the other) that should get us part of the way home!

That last 5 mins though…
It’s the difference between where we are now, and where we might have been.

On another note, couldn’t help but notice the amount of ‘Inter Milan’ away tops - would be a decent choice now. We might even wear it more than once this time.

What a crap game of football. The Albion and football has come a long way from that. Not sure what the tactics were other than hit it long and hope their defenders make a mistake we can pounce on or get to the second ball.

The smallest amount of possession or trying to keep the ball might have made a difference in that game.

Take the result though. Hopefully will be better next season.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Does anyone know how we got on at Priestfield the following season?

 

[amexer]

Great memories. All those that attend now should make sure they watch that. What was attendance and how many Albion supporters ?

Don’t remember much, although I do recall one of the singers banging a tambourine, I kid you not

 

[jessiejames]

Fancy us to nick a point. Bet 365 I'm on my way.

Don’t remember much, although I do recall one of the singers banging a tambourine, I kid you not

I know, l endured almost every home match whilst we were forced to play there. I too though have pretty much erased all memories of our Gillingahm years.
