Now you come to mention it, that is quite ironic.

North stand
Chicken run
North East
East both parts
South stand
West terrace both stands
West stand seats

Anyone remember buying a beer (I think) from the kiosk/hatch at the north end of the main West Stand?

Anyone watched from one of the gardens behind the East?

That must be quite an old pic.
I went to my first game in 1962 and that isn't the West Stand that I saw then!

I've watched from every vantage point on all four sides at one time or another ... except the Lego Stand.
Before it was erected I frequently stood on the terrace where the Lego stand was eventually placed, yet once the stand was built I never had the desire to sit down in the same area.
How odd is that?

I also had the dubious pleasure of playing on the Goldstone pitch two or three times.
I played for Brighton Schoolboys, and in those days the team were allowed to play at the Goldstone for important cup matches.

You couldn't see it from the terracing, but the pitch had quite a slope on it towards the North East corner, and you certainly knew about it as a 14 and 15 year old kid playing on it.
Balls were much heavier in those days and when schoolboys took corners from the NE corner they frequently didn't even get as far as the penalty area!

Sadly, my overriding memory is of breaking my wrist at the Goldstone playing against South London Boys.
We lost that game 3-1 from memory, and were due to play them in a return match at Selhurst Park a couple of weeks later, but I couldn't play as I was still in plaster.
I was gutted, I really wanted to play at Selhurst.
That was in the days before we grew to hate each other of course!

Thanks for sharing,love hearing stories like that..

I thought the chicken run was the same as the east as well. I can claim all corners of the ground though, including that funny little enclosure behind the dug out.

 

[dennis]

Yes and the Lego stand too!

 

[el punal]

Yes and the Lego stand too!

Damn! Missed that one.

I had a dream once - back in the bad old days - that we built an entire stadium out of Lego.

It was really good as well. Great views from the inside. Lovely blue bricks. It was all blue for some reason.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Not north west or the lego.

Everywhere else tho.

 

[Lego-Stand]

Started in the East as a youngster with my dad , North as a teenager , Lego-Stand once, South Stand seats for a few games and in our final season West Terrace. Love the Amex but still miss the old place

 

[Cheshire Cat]

North and South stands - with roof or without roof?
