[Football] What did you call Withdean?

[Westdene Seagull]

The Wet Place ..... I'll never forget that sliding tackle by Gary Hart where he appeared to slide half a pitch length !








But in reality as a local at the time it was always Withdean to me.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Truly alarmed to note that there appear to be at least TEN daft feckers, in addition to MA, who called it The Withdean. Weirdos.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

That bloody running track.

 

[knocky1]

Withdean in the 70's, Withdean when we played there and Withdean when I do my track sessions on a Monday night.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I like saying The Withdean, but only because I know it's wrong.

Exactly. Like the Ukraine. We have several Ukranians at work.

Withdean or if I was telling someone that I was going to a match and they had no clue about football or the Albion, I would say Withdean Stadium.

I called it Withdean Stadium before the Albion played there.

 

[melias shoes]

Withdean.

 

[Return of the Rev]

Withers!

 

[blue-shifted]

I used to call it the Withdean. Then i'd go to the Sportsman afterwards and see if I could watch the Arsenal on the telly

 

[dejavuatbtn]

The Goldstone.
The Amex
Withdean (purely because I always knew it as Withdean Stadium)

 

[Barham's tash]

Personally ‘Withers’ but it was Withdean Stadium.

I would say to my chums, “See you down the Withdean”

 

[Soul Finger]

There was a 'this is the Withdean' sign as the players left the Portkabin dressing rooms.

Must have really intimidated the opposition.

As it sunk in they'd be facing Charlie and Chippy.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Thee Withdean

 

[Jaxie]

Withdean. The use of "the" was only acceptable when given its full title of The Withdean Stadium!

Seems like such a distant memory now, the time spent there.

 

[GT49er]

That would explain it but as I remember it before it was a stadium, it will always be Withdean for me. Do you refer to The Falmer Stadium as The Falmer?

No, but I refer to The Amex Stadium as 'The Amex'.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Withdean, since my Balfour primary school sports days.

Correct.
