I was on the coach to Plymouth in 1989, first of 6 visits I’ve made to Home Park following BHA. Plymouth yobs tried to attack our pub in Union Street at lunchtime don’t think they realised there were 100 Brighton lads drinking inside that spilled out onto the street and chased them through the...

Plenty of people willing to sing etc but scattered all over the stadium so end up sitting on their hands. Terraces are the obvious answer but we ain’t going to see them anytime soon if at all.

Yes tough one isn’t it. Certainly didn’t have to have meetings about creating an atmosphere in the 70s 80s 90s it came naturally with terraces and the close proximity of away fans etc. Even at my age of 48 I would love to have a sing song in the ground but get looked at by those around me like...

Yes there’s probably a bit of truth to your comments but the general football experience has changed beyond recognition for the older generation. I’m aware that criticism of Uncle Tony’s stadium will have the anoraks in a fluster but The Amex was not designed with atmosphere in mind and it...

I met a couple of mates and watched the game in a pub as I couldn’t be arsed to go to The Amex but I did go to the Sheffield Utd match last week so maybe I’m NOT an Albion fan

But still have time to have an ‘alldayer’ in Brighton. Saw quite a few of them at Sheffield Utd last week btw

The pub in Brighton I watched the game on TV in was packed with blokes that have been following BHA for 30/40 years all saying the same sort of thing, that they aren’t interested in going to The Amex as it’s so sterile and boring with over fastidious stewards. After watching the smoke bomb...

Palace are Brighton’s rivals I would struggle to think of any others in 2019. Some of the other clubs mentioned such as Oxford/Cardiff, most Brighton fans would have been oblivious to any ‘rivalry’ as only the couple of hundred hoolies involved in the shenanigans would have been aware. And the...

Used to go to Sterns in the late 80s in my college days, Thursday nights were free to get in, dress code was collar, trousers and shoes. It wasn’t unusual for many to wear full suits, and l have many recollections of violent incidents that took place about this time (lager louts) .In about 89/90...

Football fans getting the blame for this one, chanting at each other in the bar before punches started flying apparently.

Woody was a 'big' lad with a brown leather jacket 1986-88 ish

The Amex is a nice ground and all that but not designed with any thought whatsoever in helping to create an atmosphere. The Northstand is too small and too far from the away fans. The West upper should not be relied on for atmosphere as its miles from the pitch and cut off by 3000 prawn sandwich...

Unfortunately the blatant campaign to belittle the FA Cup has turned this competition into a joke

A little bit disturbing that in 2017 the police reported to national TV news cameras that weapons were found when they weren't. Sounds like they were covering their arses at the expense of football fans - all sounds familiar

I did read somewhere that they expected 5000 deaths before the competition kicks off. FIVE THOUSAND!! Unbelievable

More people will die building those stadiums than died on the beaches on D-day...blood on their hands indeed. Disgusting

He wakes up every day and works in good old Sussex by the sea at one of the best training grounds with the best bunch of players, staff and chairman a football manager can only dream of. The stadium and fans are up there with the best in the country and we're 8th in the premier league. He gets...

You clearly have a problem with the type of people on the march rather than the march itself. If it was a load of milkmen marching, for example, your blood pressure wouldn't be off the scale. Do you think marching against knife/gun crime is a waste of time?

There's been a few marches against knife crime in London over the years. Is this a waste of time and just posturing as some on here think? Not worth marching against any crimes then, knife, gun, corruption, paedophiles

Some people squirm at the thought of tens of thousands of 'lads' meeting up and marching against extremists. I suspect the same people think it's perfectly fine to march against the result of the referendum not going their way
