Neither have the 50's for proper long term supporters though, just JCL's.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Towards the end of the 1983/84 season, April sounds about right, a rescheduled evening match v. Carlisle United. We won 4-1 and l have been hooked ever since.

First game was in '89 for me. Four years old and I had to held by my Dad for the full 90 because I couldn't see a damn thing.

1990. I hated football before the World Cup

07 May 1988 - Brighton and Hove Albion v Bristol Rovers W 2-1 (League Division Three)

Was about 5 or 6 and remember there being a pitch invasion at the end of the game. Saw me and my old man on the TV highlights when I got home holding my scarf upside down

First saw the Albion in 2004, and became a fan then, but didn't really fall in love with the club (or the sport in general) until 5 years ago or so.

Thread fail....50's for me but I'm sure support began before that. ..

It was a poll about the future not the past

 

[Gregory2Smith1]

I'm told it was Notts County September 1971 as a birthday treat

but the very first game I remember was the 7-1 thrasing of Hillingdon in the cup from the same season

 

[B.W.]

Mid-70's, just before we started our rise to the top flight. Those were the days.

 

[Dover]

Brentford away 1997, and The Goldstone was a demolition site.

For me early70s. Before that only played the game then got asked to sell some tickets for I think Horsham v Jimmy Hill 11 and got a free ticket to that game, as I had sold most of my tickets to mates we had a great evening, one of the friends used to take the Supporters bus from Horsham so I went along and that was it I was one of the wipper snappers that used to be down the front of the North stand until I was big enough to move up with the big boys. Remember learning very early on to have a dislike for Palace and the fights on the way back to Hove station if I took the train. Also the excitement when you knew match of the day was filming and we could watch the game that evening. Funny thing is I don't remember loosing a lot of games well at least until Teddy Maybank turned up and that was my first experience of slagging off one of our own.
