Don't think I've ever seen a place with a dress code in Amsterdam !! They just don't dress up like the Germans. What is this gin fizz bar lol?

It’s on the ship.

Typically classy Albion … Cunard to an away game.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Sorry missed the comma.

They don't dress up , just like the Germans.

....and I don't mean dress up in a berghain sense!

Did you get into Berghain?

All the best fans go to away games by boat.
Admittedly the Newhaven-Dieppe for Marseille only cost about £25

Do you remember a Normandy pre season friendly or two, when the Albion were broke? Late 90’s?

Sadly no.
Mainly because I'd have been about 5 at the time.
I apologise for any existential angst that may cause you.

I was a few years out, 2006 it seems.

Sadly, and I do mean that, I didn't start actively following Brighton until I went to uni in 2011 and lived with some Forest and Lincoln fans, as well as it serving as a useful link to home.
I have vague memories of our results being after Charlton/Gillingham's on the local news, but before Dover's.
Edit: Obviously all the other stuff about our various promotions/relegations/ground disputes in the meantime as well.

Newhaven, but nobody in my family is from the county originally.

Newhaven, but nobody in my family is from the country originally.

Back in the day I was an inmate of Tideway. One of the biggest schools in the country at the time, 1,700 of us. Knew the town fairly well.

Much as I'd love to derail this thread with Roy's Off Licence chat, we've had this exchange before, and some people might actually be going to Amsterdam

It was 2007 and we went out in July after the London bus bombings.
We went over on the ferry from Portsmouth and had a great weekend in Le Havre
