Well noted. I find it odd that some people can't remember their first game....my son can't (albeit he was about five when I first took him to the Goldstone...). :thumbsup:
My mum's second cousin, now agd 93, went regularly with her dad in the 1930s. But sadly she can't remember who we played or anything. Any really old NSCers (or relatives thereof) who have tales of watching behind the white rope way back when, I wonder?
South stand. Yes I remember lads with scarves round their wrists walking around the clay track from N to S or vice versa to be behind the necessary goal for the second half. Smoking Number 6. Gary Newton selling programmes at half time....smoking a Number 6....lot of smoking went on then :lolol:

When we scored we threw the bobble hats our mums had knitted high into the air behind the South stand goal. I was eleven (just) and me and my eleven yar old mate mate had walked all the way from Portslade to the game with our brothers (both aged 8).
Our parents...
