Only 2 as a ST holder (JCL) before that random games as I played Footy most Saturdays - 1st Albion match was 1978 and always 'followed' Brighton since moving south as always thought I was the next Peter Ward (minus the hair, the skill and the goals) !

Thanks Pasty. I watched my 1st match in 1955. (I'm a little over 21 now)

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

About 40 years since I made my debut on the benches at the back of the old South Stand at the Goldstone.

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

my 1st game was notts county 18th september 1971,birthday treat from what i can remember,1-1 (sully)

went a few times after that,that season,once the old man gave me the all clear to go with my older brothers

2 games that stick in the memory are hillingdon in the cup won 7-1!

and the villa game,jumping up and down,just trying to see the match,the goldstone was packed

i know i didn't go to the bournemouth game or rochdale

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

First game was 10 December 1955 - F A Cup at home starting two o'clock I think as we had no lights. Lost 2 - 1 to Norwich City.

I can still remember our England 'B' international full back grabbing the shirt of a Norwich forward on the half way line and holding on to it until the penalty area, when he fell over rather convemiently to earn the wiinning penalty.

Not sure but at least 55 years as I used to get the bus from outside my house in Vale rd Seaford when I was 10. Got off at Hove railway station and over the bridge to walk to the Goldstone South stand. Too old to remember 1st game but remember taking my 3 year old daughter many years later and I think we beat Bolton 3-1 that day, could big Sam have played that day

 

[Goodfella]

42. First game January 1970 v Bradford City. We won 2-1. Alan Duffy's debut.

my first game too, I was 12...... How spooky.

[AndyJD1611]

8 years. Started getting interested in football when I was 11, I was looking at all the teams in the Premier League and couldn't decide who to support, so looked to see who was the closest league team to where I lived, and it was Brighton!
First game was Bradford in 2004 I think. Main thing I remember was the appalling Rail Replacement buses! We lost 1-0 and hit the crossbar.
I've never had a season ticket, mainly because I could never afford. I go to games probably once a month.

 

[wilf tranter]

48 years, and counting. First game that I watched at the Goldstone was the 1-1 draw against Chesterfield on 21st September 1963. Albion's goal was scored by Johnny Goodchild (who was that season's top scorer with fifteen in League and FA Cup). Stood in the East Terraces, southern end, near the front.
