[Football] What was your first home game?

[blockhseagull]

Huddersfield at the Goldstone think was 85

Finished 4-3

 

[Worried Man Blues]

All I know is we wore blue shirts white sleeves and I remember seeing Charlie Liversey, so that makes it 68 ish!

Oldham Athletic - October 88 2-0 Albion May & Gatting two headers just before half time.

 

[Ding Dong !]

October 1981

Brighton 3-3 Liverpool

Also hooked

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

Boxing Day 1967 Vs Gillingham - I was 7 so Dad & Uncle took a milk crate for me to stand on in the Chicken Run - still have the programme

15/04/1992 - Brighton 1 - 2 Derby

Just discovered a really poor quality highlights video of the match. First time I've seen these goals since I was 8!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Which part of the ground?

Going with an older brother I did the NS, with Dad the Chicken Run. Once I had a free rein, always the NS, although initially we would freely wander between stands. A far cry from the tightly managed control these days.

South stand. Yes I remember lads with scarves round their wrists walking around the clay track from N to S or vice versa to be behind the necessary goal for the second half. Smoking Number 6. Gary Newton selling programmes at half time....smoking a Number 6....lot of smoking went on then

2nd of March 1980 Division 1 Brighton & Hove Albion 1 Aston Villa 1

Arrived really late so was heralded into the Away end with my then girlfriend. Cheered when we scored only to realise we were in the Villa end when they equalised and they went mental. I was hooked and had season tickets at the Goldstone. Went to a lot of The Gillingham games and Withdean games. Season ticker holder first three years at The Amex, now go to 3 or 4 games a year.
Love The Amex but still miss The Goldstone and even Withdean. But life as a Brighton supporter has never been better.....love it.

Just discovered a really poor quality highlights video of the match. First time I've seen these goals since I was 8!

I remember that game well. As a 12 or 13 year old I got in a ruck with a Junior Ram!

Little prick deserved it!

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

My mum's second cousin, now agd 93, went regularly with her dad in the 1930s. But sadly she can't remember who we played or anything. Any really old NSCers (or relatives thereof) who have tales of watching behind the white rope way back when, I wonder?

Walsall-1955

 

[Wardy's twin]

Hartlepool late 60s we won 2-0 ...I think.

 

[Sheebo]

Vid Arsenal - Dunk & Murray scored.

 

[Wilko]

Brighton 2-0 Wimbledon, think it was 1985.

 

[Lindfield by the Pond]

Jan 76 Brighton 6-0 Colchester. We were mid table in the Third Division, but still drew 16,000. Under Peter Taylor initially, the club were about to rise.

Until that match, I knew little about the Albion, but got hooked immediately.

Did the 6 goals help?

Don't know my first game - wish I did - but it was late 70's in the chicken run.

Steve Foster's testimonial when Hoddle played.

 

[pocketseagull]

First home game I saw Murray score a brace.

Just a shame it was for Reading :

 

[Surf's Up]

6th January 1962 v Blackburn Rovers in FA Cup - lost 3-0 in front of 20,405 souls and I was hooked

 

[mothy]

Absolutely no bloody idea at all. 1989 ish
