I was at that game. A bit of a classic. I was 15 - my dad let me enjoy my first pint pre match ! Happy days!

Beat Man City 2-1 in April 1989. I still vividly remember Ian Brightwell scoring the winning headed own goal!!

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

We lost 2.1 away to Port Vale.

 

[Napier]

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.

1973 and Osgood scored both in the FA Cup. I was there too.

First game for me was April 1971 and a 0-2 loss to Halifax.

1969-70 Bradford City at the Goldstone, 1-0 ( I think)

 

[Sussexscots]

0-1. Home defeat by Blackburn Rovers. March1975.

Sat 15 Mar 2003 Albion 1 - 0 Forest, I'd only moved to Brighton the summer before and a kind bloke from work gave the ticket to me because I was poor and he knew I loved football. He knew exactly what he was doing! Not seen him for years and then bummped into him at Norwich away last season. Top bloke, although the wife might want a word with him.

 

[Spanish Seagulls]

19th Nov 1977 drew 0-0 at WHL. Attendance 48.6k

then

15th Apl 1978 lost 3-1 (Chris Jones netted for us) at the Goldstone. Attendance 32.6k.

I remember that 0-0 as being a great game. One of the best 0-0 you could hope for, as a neutral at least.

6th January 1962 v Blackburn Rovers, FA Cup 3rd Round - lost 3-0 in front of 20,405 cold souls at the Goldstone.....but I was hooked.

 

[AZ Gull]

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.

Albion 1 - 1 Birmingham

November 7 1981

I had a similar experience to you - after a goalmouth scramble my mind was waiting to see the replay! Quite bizarre

1-1 at home to Middlesbrough, March 2012

 

[oldboyroy]

remember like yesterday 3-1 to the Brighton boys against Scarborough fa cup 3Rd Round tie back in the seventies

 

[severnside gull]

Can't recall if it was 0-2 or 1-2 against Villa in the old Division 2. We definitely lost but I was still hooked.
My clearest memory is olfactory - the smell of linament as the players ran out of the tunnel - we were right there by the halfway line at the front of the standing terrace under the Goldstone West Stand. Think I only saw a couple more games that season and for a number of seasons after before we moved down permanently in the early 60's. Up to then my regular home side was Charlton.

Brighton 0 Bournemouth 2 at the Goldstone

[BUTTERBALL]

3-1 vs Aldershot, 1984

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Brighton 3 2 Bristol Rovers Oct 1966. 2 0 down with 15 minutes to go and a real comeback. I was there aged 11 and had never heard such noise and support. Yes I was hooked and we went on to draw 1 1 with Chelsea shortly after. I phoned Archie Macaulay (who was in the telephone directory living in Shirley Drive.... how times change) and asked him about ticket availability.
