No but I have many memories of chants of "Falmer or we vote Tory". Seem to recall John Prescott going out onto the balcony of the Brighton Center during one march.
There was certainly one ten years ago this month. On the way to the march from the station, I was wondering whether I could be arsed to buy a ticket for the Palace game in October, with all the aggravation of a midweek trek to South London. I didn't.

Saw the thread, thought he might be a winger from Orient or something.

There is a picture of my Mum and my daughter on Page 5 Falmer March 2005, She is 13 now and been a season ticket holder since the first game at the Amex. Blimey, I will have to show her that picture

Its almost surreal looking back on those days. Albion fans, and NSC, was never better. The galvanising and pulling together as a collective towards a common goal for the survival of our football club was something we will never see again in our lifetimes.
The fortnightly catering moan-in doesn't really capture the same spirit of fight for survival, does it?
Oh well. Barber IN

Its actually WONDERFUL just to be grizzling about a cold burger or running out of Harveys these days, isn't it ?
But then again, some of the best threads ever on here came about through that campaign, some of which are preserved in Gold. I can remember logging on here cacking it at the latest breaking news or revelation from the club or the Argus or the Council, then waiting for the sage musings of [MENTION=6]Lord Bracknell[/MENTION] to interpret and guide us through the minutiae of some obscure piece of crap that was going to hold us up for another 6 months.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

Seem to remember one or several games when Two Jags came to Withdean, one in particular when we were on Sky (I think) can't remember who we were playing but we had BANNERS!

Marches, petitions, campaigning (and I was only a foot soldier) did make it feel a bit like following a political party at times.
As you wisely said .... It was the best of times ......
I think the way the Falmer for All team, made sure that everything that was done during the campaign, was peaceful and humerous, helped massively towards us getting the correct decision. It would have been really easy for us to lose patience and be outwardly aggressive, but that would have been counter productive. I also think some toff throwing an egg at Prescott during fox hunting protest helped, as he could not believe that football fans behaved so well in comparison.

The Hull game was the occasion when Norman Baker made a complete tit of himself by claiming that Prescott's meat pie was a bribe.
