In what DECADE did you FIRST see an Albion HOME game ?

[PFJ]

St Georges Day 1971 , Div 3 home to Halifax Town .Lost 0-1 I believe

 

[allystrat]

Not sure of the year but v Preston N.E. with Bobby Charlton as player manager. Think we lost 0-4

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I didn't go but wasn't he marked out of the game by a debutant called John Templeman? Whatever happened to him

Indeed he was. I remember it well

 

[Daffy Duck]

1958 was my first game. It was the very last game of the season at the Goldstone & we lost (think it was Plymouth). I'd been nagging my Dad to take me all season as he never missed & that was me hooked.
BTW, I also fell in love with Bobby Laverick that day!

You have got a good memory, I was there and you are correct Templeman never let him have a kick all game, a fantastic debut for a player who stayed on for 7 years playing 226 games.
He then moved to Exeter and played 206 games for them.

I was being flippant when I asked what happened to him - I remember him very well, particularly the goal he scored against Rochdale to send us up.

Even though I wasn't at the game I remember it well. My dad thought I was too young for a big crowd so I stayed at home. I remember my dad coming back and raving about Templeman's debut and then an hour later the Argus came and said the same. My own debut at the Albion was about three weeks later but I was already avidly reading match reports

[crookie]

1988, 2-0 V Watford, Keith Dublin scored 1 I think, can't remember who got the other, was in the SW corner, but switched to the North Stand after that, bit more lively !!

 

[British Bulldog]

1970 at home to Bristol Rovers and we drew 0-0, I was in the east stand and thought it was great until the players came out and all the fans in front of me who had been sitting down on the terracing stood up and I never saw another thing until half time, Same happened in the 2nd half. I remember having to ask my Dad what the final score was.

 

[GolfingGull]

My first game was in the 70`s as I was just a wee nipper, taken along by my Uncle to see BHA v Pompey at The Goldstone. Only trouble was, he was a Pompey fan and we were in the away end

 

[Davemania]

mid '80's for me. 1984 to be more precise but cant remember any other details. Could have been Charlton who i used to call Charlton Pathetic

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

Went in the mid sixties with my Grand Dad who played for Brighton Boy's as did my Dad.
Remember being put down the front of the chicken run around ten years old while my old man stood up the back.
My first real memories are around the early seventies when I was fifteen or so before I discovered beer n wimmin

 

[papajaff]

The swinging Sixties, 1966 to be precise.

 

[The Modfather]

1970's ('77 V Port Vale)

[jonsey]

1974 at the grand old age of 6, cant remember who but then again i cant remember much these days either

Nothing changes

I think you'll find that the last game of the 1957-58 season at the Goldstone was when the Albion gained their first promotion to Division 2 by beating Watford 6-0, Adrian Thorne scoring 5 goals and the captain, Glen Wilson, scoring the other from a penalty.
