To put withdean in perspective. My old next door neighbour but one was banned from going to the withdean by his doctor. Reg was in his early ‘70’s and basically got pneumonia from sitting in the rain watching the Albion.
It was what it was. We never had any expectations other than surviving and hoping against hope that we would get Falmer. Every penny we had went to keeping our heads above water and that included keeping us at the withdean, the fact that we got to the championship was an unexpected bonus...
