The South Stand used to be seated at the back, with a standing terrace at the front, up until the late 70's, when it was made all seated.

cant remember who we played but brian powney was in goal and he was absolutely shit, and we lost 2 or 3-0. Can remember being really gutted. Any of you historians guess at the opposition? the 2nd game i went to was not that long after and we won 1-0 with a Fred Binney header in about the 15th minute or something and it was great, i think it might have been halifax for that one.

The first game I remember going to was the quarter final against Norwich in 1983 - I think my uncle took me to a couple of games before then though...
The first away game I went to was away to 'Boro in 91 in the playoff run in, which 'Boro won 2-0... I'll never forget the away announcer shouting "And the second goal of the afternoon goes to STUAAAAAAAAAAAAAART RIPLEY!!!"
Don't ask me why that has stuck in my mind, because I haven't a clue, but I have an irrational hatred of all tannoy announcers now (Especially Buono at Leyton O, remember him?)

Brighton v Crystal Palace in the north stand at the Goldstone 1975 I think. Sammy Morgan scored both in a two-nil win if my memory is working properly. Was 9 or 10 and went with my Dad, Uncle & Cousin. Got the bug and became a regular in the north stand from then on.

That was my sons first game too. Didn't put him off tho! Mine was about 1972 against Rochdale I think.

Wrexham at Home 8th April 1972.
Won 3-2.
Sat in the south stand with my dad, and will always remember walking up the steps and seeing the pitch, the other stands and a packed north stand.

Was that the game that Case scored a hatrick and we were 3-1 down with about 5 minutes to play. Excellent game.

Did Mullery come on in that game and take a penalty?

My dad took me to the Goldstone to watch Brighton v Barrow. It must have been 1968. Cant remember the score, but it was amazing because i had never been with so many shouting people before in my life. It was in the south stand.

1993 (I think), 0-0 vs Exeter. Stuart Munday had an amazingly long throw, that was what impressed me the most. Christ, I am so drunk that took me a long time to type.

Well dine Bob! happy Albion Anniversary.
looking throught the thread, I am amazed how so many Albion fanatics started with such awful games, just how did they become hooked? Somebody mentioned a 0-0 with bristol rovers in the early 70's and I remember that game for it's sheer awfullness as an absolutly inepotent Albion team played a Rovers team with no intention of crossing the half way line.
Before 3 points for a win there would be many away teams who would play to hold the point they started with.
