Bored as bored can be. I was eventually taken to an early match in Division One in 1979. Didn't start going regularly till the first season back downstairs in 83/84.

Peter Ward winner in front of the North Stand ?

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Sometime in 1968 Blue shirts white sleeves and remember Charlie Liversey and not much else!

Away at Aldershot, FA Cup 1967. Bunked off the coach home after a school second XI morning match at Farnham or somewhere thereabouts. Scintillating 0-0 draw. As the crowd filed out at the end, the crush was such that I was able to lift both feet off the ground at the same time - and keep them there!
First home match soon after - Charlie Livesey's goals secured a win against Tranmere.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

A week before Christmas. Came from behind to go top.

My only memory is being fascinated by the sight of what seemed like a wall of people standing on the East Terrace. I was 10 years old and opposite in the West Stand seats with my uncle and aunt. We also sit together at the Amex.

Did you go to the Chelsea game in the next round?

 

[Mike Small]

3-2 V Charlton August 1990

 

[Weststander]

I got very lucky with this game. Taken by an older brother.



16,000 was decent core support for a mid-table third division team.

Note the future Everton manager in goal for them.

Did you go to the Chelsea game in the next round?

No, no chance! Was still living at home, a long way from Brighton and working for my A levels - it was a while yet before I was away at Uni. .............................. and FREE!

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Monday 3rd March 1980. Brighton 1 Aston Villa 1

I was so naive going to my first game that myself & gf of the time ended up in the North east corner.....the away end. I was hooked on going to Brighton as soon as i could drive after following them on local football coverage. This is a classic case of a Man U fan being hooked by live football. I thought the atmosphere with 23k present was electric (it was under lights) and i never looked back. Still like United but always want my true love to beat them at every opportunity. More of a connection with a local (ish) club who you have travelled the country to follow playing home games at 4 different home venues,the protests and marches in troubled times all add to the deep affection that grows as each year passes.



*Wow looking at here about other posters first game and i am a NEWBIE of just 40 years.
