25 , coming up 26 - man that is SCARY!!
My first Albion game was in 1960
I was 43 when we left the Goldstone
I shall be 57 when/if we move into the new stadium in summer 2011 although statistically I'm more likely to be just a name on a brick. Still, at least I'll have seen the building work commence unlike my dad, Dave White and all the others.
I,m sure I,ve read before that you,re battling cancer....?
I sometimes despair at all the delays with this stadium. I would love future generations to be able to support the Albion at Falmer and those who "only" joined since we got to Withdean.
But above all others, I hope so many of those like yourself, who have supported Brighton for so many years, through the good times and bad, will be around long after Falmer is built.
You're quite correct (bowel and liver cancer) and many thanks for the good wishes.
I've actually been clear of any detectable cancer since the last surgery in May 2007 so maybe I'll still be around in 2011.
It's just that the first game in August 2010 has always been something tangible for me to aim for during and since all the surgery and chemo last year. The revised timings announced today knocked me back a bit - hence the slightly morbid and self-indulgent post earlier - sorry everyone.
