How could you forget the perpetrator of the murderous assault on Mr Sharp?

 

[AZ Gull]

Gus Poyet was "sent off".

 

[AZ Gull]

I think two players made their debut; CMS as a starter and Buckley as a sub.

Oh Gary, oh Gary, oh Gary Dicker!

(Macarena)

Attendance was about 19,256. Plenty of spare ones in the South that day.

 

[somerset]

Only due to unsold away seats surely?!.

Ankergren-Greer-Dunk-Painter-Calderon-Sparrow-Lua Lua-Bridcutt-Dicker-Barnes-Mackail Smith. Subs were Noone and Buckley. Was Poyet sent off? Debuts were CMS and Buckley. Attendance - maybe about 19k? Best moment was the 98th minute, but from 14:30 to 15:00 was pretty memorable, and arriving at my seat was also a highlight.

 

[grubbyhands]

Can't answer any of them as I was crying my eyes out. I never thought I'd see the day we got our new ground. Too emotional!

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

A very surreal day.

I thought the Sussex Senior Cup Final was the first game

 

[Grombleton]

I can still remember that day so well.

The first walk over the station towards the stadium, finding our seats and seeing the incredible sea of flags. Feeling nervous when Sharp scored but turning to unbridled elation when Buckley stole the show late on.
My brother-in-law to be went to the game with me, and we still fondly talk about that day - i've not since lost it with joy in the way I did in the 98th minute.

A magical day.

This.

Those who deny it are those that didn't go.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

That was the first game at the Amex that I got soaked at!

Oh Gary Hart, Gary, Gary, Gary, Hart!
