I am and your post count whilst good is not as good as Gold's so there!!! Jcl newbie

Cool story bro!

Myself and Mrs LK made that one. Definitely the lowest number (87 was it?) of Brighton fans present at a game to which we've ever been.
As great as the recent two seasons have been, I much more enjoy attending smaller, friendlier clubs (Exeter excepted) than the bigger city clubs in the Championship.

What about the Albion fans who went to Swansea for the LDV Vans Trophy game in 2001?

There must be THOUSANDS of them.

Pre season friendly at Scunny with 63 others.

As a teenager I once decided at the last minute to go to Ashton gate to see a midweek game, missed my link train to Bristol, turned up anyway for the last 20 minutes with us 2-0 down. Then on the way home i was miss directed, missed the last train back to Brighton and had to sleep rough outside Portsmouth and Southsea station, you could say I've had better match day experiences.
Do I win anything ?

There is a picture of the fans who were there that game on here somewhere.

Voyeurism?

Brentford away in friendly August 1981, Jimmy Case's Albion debut. Je suis un rock star was a popular ditty at the time, we sang it on the way home to cheer us up.

I went to an away match and there was just one Albion fan - me!!! How poor a
show was that.


(it was Coventry versus Port Vale)

Your correct,they are the true heros

I was the only Albion fan at a reserve game at Orient(circa 1975).I was returning back from Southend crown court that day(And proved I did not do it,the geezer got a shoeing but my Loakes were clean) do I get a special Hero badge?

But, who amongst us saw the team lose 1-0 away at Swindon Town on Boxing Day 1949

Love to know how you travelled, and what an away trip was like then !

 

[Hampden Park]

There was abou 10 of us at the everton game....what about Sunderland way one tuesday night in the 80's ? I got home at 3 in the morning after beating off huge skin heads outside the ground...again there was only a few of us there that night.


...or Swindon away where we were 4 or 5 nil down and the tef abandoned it

twas a right pea-souper, if i remember correctly (Swindon).

Barrow away late 60's.
The earliest train out of Brighton got you there for 2.20pm - and it was late. Howard Wilkinson and Nobby Lawton were actually waiting for us outside with the complimentary tickets. More free tickets than Brighton fans - tried to give them away and failed !

Naa. TRUE fans were those of us who went to the Barnsley v Brighton League Cup game in 1981. I think there were about twelve of us. Seriously.

Hey Brovion - I was there too!

1981 was during my Leeds Polytechnic days. I went with a couple of mates and sneaked in the home end. Needless to say we kept our gobs shut!

Seem to recall that we got well and truly turned over by BFC?!
