Your Brighton Anniversary (Uber fan?)

[Marty McFly]

25/11/2000.

A rather wet 4-0 win against Shrewsbury.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

68-69 season. Either Tranmere or Shrewsbury, either 1-0 or 2-0, or both games. I s'pose I could look it up but I'm getting older and won't remember anyway

Can't remember the match but it's 40 years next August

6th March 1976 I believe (5-0 v Peterborough) so over 40 years.

8 January 1983, FA Cup 3rd round v Newcastle United. My memory of this is fragmentary.

Boxing day next year will be my "golden" aka 50 years ago my dad & uncle took me to the Goldstone to see us play Gillingham - still have the matchday programme.

I'm thinking of writing to the club closer to the time [dad will be 90 then] to see if they can help us make a day of it - hope we're playing at home.

Inspired from a post of another thread... what is your anniversary this year?

My first game was January 1973 so I am celebrating 43 years.

I made my debut at the Goldstone the same day as Alan Duffy. January 1970, so 46 years coming up for me shortly.

Trick thread title.
Should be: Who is the oldest **** on here?

 

[sully]

Couldn't get anyone to take me to a game until I was 9, so my first game wasn't until 1970 when an Uncle finally heeded my plea's. Bradford City at home, South Stand seats.

Pretty sure that's the same game as my first one (and Alan Duffy's) as just posted.

And Duffy scored an absolutely blinding goal - we thought we'd unearthed a superstar rather than the overweight boozer he turned out to be

I can still remember all the old wags laughing at the size of him!

April 1987, so it will be 30 years this season.
We beat Palace 2-0 (Wilson and Hughes) and it was Barry Lloyd's first win.
Sadly there is no clip of it online.

And, as fate would have it, my next game (god-willing) will also be against Birmingham - at St Andrews on December 17.

I think I'm right in saying that just one month after this fixture, Albion would reach the highest league placing in their history to date - 6th position in Division One. Which means that with impeccable timing, I managed to start my Albion roller-coaster ride at the very peak, and unbeknown to me had embarked on a long, slow but inexorable descent into the nerve-shredding, stomach-churning ordeal that would be Edgar Street 16 years later.

Still: tens of thousands of miles, over 500 matches and eighty-odd grounds later the passion burns as fiercely as it ever has, despite living abroad for 14 years. I suspect that the next 35 years will, on average, provide a little more success than the previous 35.

Wolves away. we won 4-2, was the same night that Palace got spanked by 9 against Liverpool.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Just passed my 40th Anniversary. October 2nd 1976 home to Crystal Palace, 8 years old, North Stand, hooked from that day on!

Any bowel situations near that time?

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

September 1960 vs Bristol Rovers; we scored six (my age at the time), four by Adrian Thorne. One of the stewards at Ashton Gate on Saturday asked me about my first Albion game, looked horrified when I said it was against the Gas but cheered up in hearing the result.
