0-0 at home to Derby, 1987. Six-years old, East Terrace, torrential snow and I still came back for more.

Amazing, my first Brighton game too. However, sadly I have to report that we lost 1-0. I was in the South Stand, a couple of years older than you, and was fixated on Eric Young's brown headband.

Yep twas a great season to start, I thought it was normal to score a minimum of 4 goals per game.

I have absolutely no idea.

My only memory was the surprise of not having commentary during the game - I'd been watching too much TV obviously.

Brighton 3-1 Darlington, 1964/65, the year we won the 4th Division Title.
I know I watched a few games that season before the Darlington game but this one sticks in my memory, as I believe it was the match that won us the title [can anyone confirm?]. 36,000 crammed into the Goldstone, I was 10 years old, awesome memories. Floated home after that one...
Thanks for the thread. UTA!

1979? That was mine too - snap. Taken for my 12th birthday.

Yep, November 10. Funnily enough a friend who is also a Brighton fan says that was his first match too. I stood on a milk crate in the chicken run, aged 10 years, and never felt so excited.
