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.

Shit - that small fact has changed my life! For 30-years I've been spouting off that it was a goalless draw!

Amazing that it was the same game, though.

A drab 0-0 v man ure 1979. Two moments of note a Mickey Thomas booking and an Ashley grimes conversion from the edge of the box into the north stand. My dad never took me to another game it was that sh*t.

Haven't a clue, I was too young to remember and my parents haven't a clue as to which season it was, let alone which team and what the scoreline was

I think it was some time around 1981/82. Brighton 0 Stoke 0 at the Goldstone.

Makes you wonder why I ever went back.

I'm sorry! For what it's worth, I doubt many other people will pull you up on an otherwise non descript mid 80s game.
My eldest sister was going out with (and soon to marry) a Derby County supporter at the time, hence that game being carefully chosen. Dreadful conditions, and couldn't wait to go back!

Aldershot 0 Albion 0. FA Cup 3rd. round, January 1967.

First home match - 2-0 against Tranmere. I think Charlie Livesey scored them both.
