I was right in the centre of the North Stand that day. Only missed 2 homes games all season as I remember and we lost them both (blackpool 3-1 & Notts Cnty 5-1)

I was there, I remember it well, biggest crowd I ever saw at the Goldstone. I made a big(ish) flag which made it half way across the north stand, and I nicked a load of bog rolls from the train on the way there, to throw onto the pitch......those were the days!

Rix appears to have been momentarily distracted by the Junior Seagulls supporters stood just behind the goal!!

Shame the blurb on the back has the typo. Surely it was Garry Nelson?

I'm far too young for such shenannigans, although I did watch us lose 4-0 to Arsenal in a preseason friendly around that time at my first game...

EDIT: Having just seen that date of that game, it would have been a couple of years previous I went to that friendly I think... Anyone else here watch us get battered that evening?

I was sitting in the West Stand that day with my brother and my Dad about 10 seats along. I was about 10-11

Yep, the last game was against Bristol Rovers where we clinched promotion behind champions Sunderland with (I think) a 2-1 win, Nelson and Bremner on the scoresheet.

But does anyone remember the Rovers player falling over? Back then at the last home game of the season they had this board advertising something which was in conjuction with the player-of-the-season award infront of the tunnel. It was tied and pegged to the ground much like a tent and when the Bristol players came out one of them tripped over the ties. Made me laugh anyway.

Albion & England forever.

I remember that, think it was the "graceful" Devon White

I was there but I don't think Gary Chivers was.......Robert Issac perhaps or Kevan Brown certainly not Chivers ..........

 

[D'Angelo Saxon]

Is the goalie John Lukic?

I remember that also, I was in the East terrace and as far as I recall the whole ground erupted in laughter. Poor Devon, he certainly looked sheepish.

 

[Dave the OAP]

i was there

 

[NewtownRoad]

Tom "Curly" Watt was seen and had to endure some friendly insults in the South Stand. Arsenal fans wore red & white tam o'shanters.

 

[The Wookiee]

Anybody remember the fire at Hove station after the game ?

 

[Napper]

i was there . remember keeny sansom whacking the ball into the west stand as hard as he could and it slapping some bloke square on the cheek. St Johns got involved and everything
