[Albion] What was your first Brighton away game?

[Return of the Rev]

I THINK it was at Dean Court in our promotion season 71-72. We drew 1-1

17k crowd a 70's aggro to boot

FA Cup at Selhurst in 76. We were late and missed both goals!

After that, the next was Pompey on Boxing day.

Identical for me, I was at Fratton Park too, plus we did the second replay.

QPR early 2000’s.

We lost. But young me was very excited to see a police horse for the first time.

Pompey away 72/73 season

Oh my

Let's just put this delicately - my first home match was a 2-0 victory over Tranmere that same season. Sadly for me, Charlie Livesey scored before I did!

28th January 1967. Ald ershot. FA Cup 3rd round. 0-0. Pouring hard with rain. Pitch a quagmire. Thousands of Brighton supporters. No segregation. Usual mayhem of the time.

Remember that one well. Went on the train and it was rumoured all the way that the game had been postponed. The resultant reply was a magic night as we won 3-1 and booked the 4th Round tie with Chelsea.

Not my first away game though. That was at Aldershot on Grand National Day 1964 (ko at teatime) Picked my first winner (Jay Trump I think) We still lost 1-0 though.

Feb 1981 against Norwich.

Thoroughly miserable day as a) we lost 3-1, b) large-ish gang of Brightons twats sieg heiling, c) the bloke driving the minibus (youth club leader) made us leave 2 minutes before we scored our consolation goal.

FFS!

Closer to 28k wasn't it?

 

[Let's Have A Winner!]

Watford in the FA Cup, 1984 I think...maybe 5th round, year they got to the final? Aged 10ish and somehow in the director's box with my dad...no idea why?! Lost 3-1 I think, vaguely recall Danny Wilson scoring? They had John Barnes, Mo Johnston etc...

 

[The Rattler]

Sunderland, Roker Park 1986?

Lost 2-1

Hooked!

Like my first ever game I'm not 100% sure, but I believe it was Palace away 1977. I think we lost 3-1 with Vince Hillaire scoring twice (I definitely remember bits of the game, especially him scoring), but my abiding memory was being chased by Palace fans after the game.

I was only 9 at the time.

Gillingham 1974.... 14 th birthday present. We were bottom of the league. 1-0 up @ HT lost 2-1.

2nd Feb 1980 Ipswich 1 Brighton 1 Gary Stevens late first goal for us

 

[Invicta]

Mine was the Kelvin Morton game at Selhurst Park on Easter Monday 1989, and I was in with the Palace fans!

Same for me, but in with the Albion fans behind the goal. I think Palace missed most of their penalties at that end.

1983, Notts County, lost 1 - 0, think it was game Foster got booked in to earn cup final suspension
