What a fantastic day, congratulations to the club for another day that will live in the memory for a long long time.

If you had to pick one highlight from yesterday what would it be?

For me it was the video they showed after the players arrived which included the Goldstone and Gillingham days, thousands stood in silence watching it on the big screens, looking around and seeing grown men crying. Something that will stay with me forever.

It was closely followed up by Dale Stephens 'worming' onto the stage :lolol:

The fact that Brighton are back, in style, having clearly captured the hearts and minds of the younger generation of Sussex.

By the seaside in West Somerset
Watched on YouTube with tears in my eyes.
How far have we come!? As these things go I thought it was seriously professional and well focussed. Yes that video was brilliant but there was a moment when they cannoned the streamers into the air and the camera panned up over the crowd and into a blue sky that just summed up the sheer joy of the occasion. Lovely stuff!

Being stood on Hove Lawns belting out GOSBTS with all the others is my favourite moment.

Just far enough away from LDC
For me, walking away at the end with my 10 and 8 year old sons and 4 year old daughter dancing down the middle of the kingsway with a huge flag and trailing streamers.

I turned to my wife and had a tear in my eye. Because clearly we've done something right as parents

Solly's reaction to his sunglasses falling off after heading a football. Head in hands! They may have been recovered by a steward but I am uncertain.

As said elsewhere:-

the fella wearing Liverpool shorts, proudly displaying his Liver Bird leg tattoo, and an Albion top.
Legend.

Silly old bat
Being stood on Hove Lawns belting out GOSBTS with all the others is my favourite moment.

Not the best highlight for me, but when we were waiting for a bus on Church Road, to go home, this busker starting playing SBTS on his clarinet, so we joined in with the words. I'm not sure the bus queue enjoyed it, but we didn't get anything thrown at us.

I enjoyed the class and respect shown by some of the quieter yet just as proud players - March, Rosenior, Hemed, Kayal, Uwe, and of course the definition of class .....Mr C Hughton.
Loved belting out GOSBTS.

Held it together until the players bus arrived at Hove Lawns + Sweet Caroline started up once again

Seeing Knocky on the team coach afterwards. As it was driving down the road he was leaning over the very understanding coach driver whilst he was continually pumping his horn, looked like he had nicked the coach to me :)

One thing is hard -

The sea of blue and white in Zone A

The sheer professionalism of it all, how far we have come from a few 100 fans at Hove town hall watching the Freddie mercury tribute act

The whole crowd bouncing in blue and white during the party sing-a-long section

Goldson and Dunk's double act introduction

Baldock crowd surfing again

Such a lot of special things to remember from a very memorable day.
Difficult to choose one moment but for me it was just the sheer spectacle of a sea of blue and white worn by young and old alike, and to top it all, the sun shone brightly on our parade.

Spot on about Hughton's class. Wont take credit for anything.

Hes the kind of bloke who when proposing to his good lady and she said she loves the ring, would answer by paying credit to the jeweller, the diamond miner, the car park attendant and the person at the bank who authorised the credit card transaction.

The lost generations...they're back. As are The Albion. Those trips to Gillingham and god knows how many rain sodden seasons at Withdean have all paid off-took longer than we all thought but WE ARE BACK!
