The dull part of the south coast
Last Saturday, when we played Bolton, there was talk of when we last played them - Jan.1993, as it turned out. But apart from new entrants to the league, e.g. Fleetwood, Burton etc. in recent years, which team(s) have we not played for years and who are they. One that springs to mind is Everton, last played 1982/83. Any others?

In a similar vein, are there any teams( again apart from the new entrants) that we have never lost a league game to or never beaten in the league?

We havent played Chelsea competitively since 89 and West Brom or Man United since 1993.

When we play Blackburn next month, it will be our first meeting in 20 years.

Re league records against clubs, I fear our record v Chelsea reads p4 l4; 1983-4 1-2 and 0-1 1988-89 0-2 and 0-1. I saw them all.

BLACKBURN ROVERS :

Saturday 14th March 1992 : Brighton 0 - 3 Blackburn

Remember that Scottish twat David Speedie flicking the V's to the north stand this match.

Went and saw the Manic Street Preachers after this match at the Brighton East wing as a four piece. Never would have thought they would be still around now then.
