In the snow ?

Yes, in the snow.

Wearing a special red seagulls scarf to match the red away kit.

 

[NEASTGULL]

Crystal Palace 1 Albion 1 (Ward) 05/04/80.

I remember that this was actually my first match, (I can't actually remember when my first match at the Goldstone was) and for some reason we were in the palace section, down the side of the pitch.

I was taken by my uncle, and his mate and mates dad. As we were in the palace end I was told to keep my mouth shut, which I managed to do until on the was out after the match, when I said that I didn't think much of their programme!

 

[Paskman]

Pompey Dec 76 lost 1-0 Horton missed a pen

Same game for me. I think David Kemp, ex Palace, scored the winner. We wore green shirts I think [emoji848]

 

[jasetheace]

I bet it was

I was 14 at the time and remember not being able to see the match
Not unless I jumped up and down,which was nigh on impossible in the crush

People were literallly "hanging from the rafters". I recall the crush. Dad put me down the front only to be rammed against the fence after the multiple "kop style" surges..

 

[Mackenzie]

WBA 1-0 Albion

Must have been 88ish. Lost the game, England lost at the rugby, we got soaked and then coined at Rolf Street station.

Happy days.

 

[pasty]

Genuinely haven't got a scooby. One of the earliest I can recall is being at Aldershot sometime in the mid 70's when it kicked off all over the place. Scared the whotsit out of me as I would only have been 10 or 11 at the time.

Mansfield Town, 1999 (I think) by train. Loads of police with fluffy dogs at Nottingham, they tried to pack all the BHA supporters straight on a train out to Mansfield but we managed to dodge them and went for a few pints near the station. Mansfield weren't very friendly, found the whole day very exciting and got hooked for several (expensive) years

 

[Westdene Seagull]

I really can't remember when but it was Cardiff - their old ground. It was rough !!! Never had so many coins thrown at me !

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Leeds Utd 1979. Where better than the home of the Champions of Europe ?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Discounting our stint at Gillingham, I think I went to a cup game at Spurs, probably 1982 or 3, I went to Highbury for the cup semi 1983. I went to the p/o finals at Wembley 1991, and 2003 ... and that's it, I think. No interest, really, apart from that.

 

[BLOCK F]

Can't remember; it was so long ago.

 

[Postman Pat]

Other than the play off final in 1991.

Brentford Mar 1994, drew 1-1. Away end was absolutely packed.

Cracking day out.

 

[wellquickwoody]

Palace Boxing Day 86. Lost 2-0 but best action was off the pitch.

Oh my

Carrying on the thread, Barnsley 1981?

 

[The-Libertine]

Brentford away in 1987 and THAT goal by Nelse

The best goal I've ever seen.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

March 3 1974, Aldershot. A 1-0 win.

 

[Right Back]

1979 I think. Fulham with a 1-0 win. Behind the goal with no roof and could see the Thames.
