[Albion] What memorabilia did you get from the Goldstone?

[oldboyroy]

Just my memories

One of my best friends told us Lewis Dunks Dad was in our year at school. . . I honestly don't remember him.

I remember him lived in Rosslyn Avenue and he was a tall kid.

 

[lefty]

got turf lost in the old mans garden and still have a piece of the original goal net

Just my memories

Exactly this.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Sink from west stand toilet still in garden full up with flowers

Excellent mate, I didn’t know about this. Did you take some tools and remove it?

After the match I went to the gents at the back of the North Stand and this bloke was trying to rip the cistern off the wall above the urinals

I was going to ask if you want it fitted in your bathroom.

More turf dug up by me. Put in my garden in North Peckham about a mile from the New Den. Matched in with the lawn and survived. Forgot I’d done that till I saw this thread.

 

[Seagull]

Seat back, East Terrace concrete, turf planted at my parents, still there, piece of North goal net cut with a blunt instrument, took ages ... made an artwork incl the match ticket, previously posted on NSC ...

 

[brighton terra]

I’ve got a couple of bricks with some white paint on them. I did have a wooden board with the Ground Regulations on it, but I’ve somehow managed to misplace it!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Christ, no.

I'm not a looter.

Or a grave robber

My first visit to that place after we left was before the first pre-season friendly at the Amex. A drive-by tear.

Everything would have gone to landfill, so recovering any items should hardly be considered looting or grave robbery!

 

[Whoislloydy]

All I got was a chunk of turf which I put in my parents’ back garden at the time, it took and survived to this day but now just looks like any other part of the lawn.

I wish I’d got more, I’m sure the better organised than me managed to get more than that on the day and even crush barriers or turnstiles if you went back during the demolition!

I got a piece of the old Wembley turf which I stuck in my parents back garden! It's gone now, they built a conservatory on it.

 

[SeagullinExile]

I got a turnstile believe it or not. Sat in my dad's garden in Eastbourne for a few years, eventually we donated it to Eastbourne Boro when they were upgrading Priory Lane to move up the League's.

As far as I know it's still there.

 

[Comrade Sam]

Had Goldstone turf growing in a large planter on the edge of my basement yard. Was on the go for a couple of years. Went away for a week and on my return discovered the planter was on the window ledge on the flat upstairs filled with flowers. My neighbour was so mortified when she realised what she'd done that it tempered my seething rage. Also got 2 West Stand wooden seats that one day I will make something with, or so I have said for 25 years.

 

[pure_white]

Toilet seat from ladies. Still on by loo today.

No seriously, many happy memories and some turf.

 

[Comrade Sam]

One of my best friends told us Lewis Dunks Dad was in our year at school. . . I honestly don't remember him.

Did his Dad have a brother called Stephen and live in Henfield? If so I stayed at their house.

 

[portlock seagull]

I lump of concrete from the Upper East Terrace, which sits on my windowsill to this day, as well as turf transplanted into my parents lawn. Must remember to the tell the estate agents when we come to sell, will put another £5k on value surely?!

A patch big anough for a goal and a penalty spot must be worth £50k, you'd pay that for a lock up in Brighton.

Concrete is under rated. . .pride of place in the display cabinet next to the few trophies I've won over the years for driving round in circles.
