Yes, I’m sure the Amex full of kids and and tourists watching a group game at the women’s Euros was better than watching Pedro slam in a last minute winner against Marseille, in front of a raucous home crowd. Or being 1-0 down in the 89th minute of the first ever game there after 15 years without our own ground, only for Buckley to score two in 2 minutes and send the place into raptures. Or watch us destroy a Man Utd team containing Ronaldo 4-0. Or smash Chelsea and Potter and the others they’d just nicked from us 4-1. Or watch local lad Solly March score the goal that got us promoted to the Premier League, sparking a mass pitch invasion and a party that went on on the concourses for 3 hours after the game.

No, the group game at the women’s Euros wins it for me. 🤣🤣

Europa
Donny
Utd
Potter
Wigan

Exactly and a few more i've probably forgotten (but not necessarily in that order) :wink:

Hard to choose...

Loved the 4-0 against Manure in 2022 and seeing Ronaldo's reaction.

Wigan promotion day

St. Patricks Day Massacre

Donny in the last minute

Potter humiiation against Chelsea

Marseille Europa

4-0 up against Dirty Leeds in the first half, and most of the ‘Best supporters in the world’ ( trademark) had gone home.

St Paddy’s day massacre.

And of course the Chelsea demolition.

Beating MASSIVE, 2-1 with 10 and them losing their heads and ending up with 9 on the pitch. That was the game I knew we were going up.

The Amex - 4-0 v United.
The Goldstone - Sheff Weds 3-2 to win promotion, although one of the actual best games I remember was a defeat - 2-3 against Wolves in the FA Cup in the snow.

3-2 v Man City. Didn't think the three of us would get tickets given we were in band 4. Surprised and delighted when we did.

Quite apart from the comeback, the atmosphere was electric. So good to have a beer beforehand and to be back in the ground. Brought home just how much I had missed it all; and to never take it for granted again. An evening I'll never forget.

Close second, beating Liverpool 2-1 in the Cup two weeks after turning them over 3-0 in the league. Didn't think lightning would strike twice. Elated when it did.

it’s the wigan game, indisputably, for me. i mean, it more or less confirmed that we (f***ing brighton !?!?!) would be in the premier league. and then there was a huge pitch invasion and a massive booze up in town. what more could you ask for?

1st place - 3-2 against City.
Close second 4-1 Chelsea.

City just tipped it for me as previously mentioned we'd all been locked under COVID rules and wasn't it the first game with fans too.
3rd or 4th game with fans I think, maybe a few more than previous games

I think that 3-0 v Liverpool was our best Amex performance. Completely dominated the whole game

Same.

That game also had the Stockdale double save from a penalty.

Brighton
BHA 4
Chelsea 1

best atmosphere, best response to recent occurance and the best result ever against them
It's also my favourite because I eventually got £200 compo from some of the chels who tried to hit me.
Not being much of a betting man it's easily the most profitable game I've been to.

Still in Brighton
Ronaldo is probably the "greatest" player I've personally seen in the flesh so.... to see his team torn apart and him humiliated to the point of laughter, that has to be the "best" game I've been to at the Amex. Of course, Donny and the his-dog's-called-John brace game, Vicente's magic vs Derby, Murray's hatrick vs Norwich, the promotion game on my birthday, Pedro's celebration vs Marseille also v special (plus every time we've beaten Palace at the Amex of course).

So true. Complete tosh.

For me was City at home last season. We were f***ing brilliant. As good as the best team in Europe. Never seen a Brighton team play as well as they did that day. Truely elite.

For me 27/09/2011 was a great game but the 13/05/2013 was better.

I trust this question is for everyone that frequents this forum ? 😉
No, it's not for everyone. So feck off! ;) 😁

I was watching the footage from that yesterday and re-reading the reports. Even looked at the comments on the match thread on the Man City forum (how sad am I...). That was probably the best individual display by a Brighton team. We were superb, scored the official 'goal of the season', and shoulda won.
