[Albion] The scoreline at your first ever Brighton game

[MattBackHome]

Can't remember the exact game but it was early Nelson era so probably a win.

Brighton 7 York 2 1976 what a game to open your account.

I'll see your first game and raise you Brighton 7 Walsall 0

1-4 at home to Liverpool.

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

 

[Tricky Dicky]

BHA 0-2 Chelsea. Was a cup game or friendly, I can't quite remember, probably 1974ish - the only Brighton game my data took me to. I have no idea of the first league game I went to.

 

[Yes Chef]

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.

Brighton & Hove Albion 2 Barrow 0

Which according to Tim's History book was a Third Division fixture played in front of over 21,000 fans.
September 1969

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

 

[DavidRyder]

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!

Parents took me to the Goldstone aged 11 but we were split up and Dad was in the North Stand and we were in the Family section.

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.
