The OLD BosunYes amongst other things, can't remember the name of the pub
Are you asking yourself the question?
Blackpool had a go , didn't last long really , i seem to remember Oxford tried it on in the N/W corner once but i maybe mistaken on that one , my overwhelming memory of Northstand takeovers was a friendly with spurs i think it was 1-6 to them it was literally rammed with spurs , i was only a whippersnapper but a small group of Brighton re entered the north after half time and had a right old ding dong battle which ended in a kind of respectful no mans land truce .
A teenage Sol Campbell played in that midweek August game in the mid 90's? Stood out as the best player even by then.
I was in the NS but never saw any aggro. Unless we played them another time?

This was the Port Vale game. Ended up a love in on the pitch.
Hard work trying to read that page with all the adverts
The Vale fan says the police wouldn't let them into town ( pubs I guess ) because of what the Stoke fans had done previously.
A friend of mine was in a marching band aged 14 and was marching along the seafront before the match when the whole band were confronted with the Portsmouth mob and had to turn tail and quickly run the other way. I was in the NS that day and remember 4-5 fans with coshes running in and causing mayhem among the Brighton.I’m not sure if Pompey (#twats) count as a lesser known club, but they always turned up in numbers at the Goldstone.
One particular occasion I remember was Easter Monday 1973, when ( apparently aided by fans of some London clubs whose teams weren’t playing that day ) they invaded the North Stand, and The Albion fans were forced towards the West side of the NS and eventually onto the North West terracing
There were outbreaks of fighting throughout the match as Brighton made attempts to retake the North, but we were outnumbered and forced back each time.
Lots of trouble in town before and after the game.

Did aldershot bring a mob ?
I don’t remember anything happening?

I remember a scaffold pole going through a train window on Hove platform after the game.
Just checked and it was a league cup game in ‘84 not ‘88.
