I bunked off school to go to Forest away when we lost 2-1 in the league cup, that was a fun day!

I had no idea of any connection. Perhaps they just took us under their wing, although we were a better side than them from 79-83. Perhaps we're just a lovely club!

I wish I did 'know it'. But nevertheless.

Bless yer :laugh:

Well yes, but I'm not sure what you're getting at?

That's what I mean, Brighton have been shit for many years, so what if Chelsea were too, happens to everyone.

We were shit for many years, your point?

They were a really good Div 1 side when I first saw them, I think I was about 4!!! 1967, ended up in the Cup Final v Spurs with a legendary team including Ossy, Chopper, Webb, Houseman, etc. I remember sitting in the West on the wooden benches. Good days.

I have a confession. My first two ever league footy visits were at Stamford Bridge. I was actually supporting Chelsea at the Goldstone. But having moved to EP and taking in my first Brighton game as a 9 year old I was totally changed on the spot to Brighton. I went to the Goldstone regularly...

Now you mention it, my mum would never have let me go to football on a school night.

The player that got me loving football, Ossy I mean. What a player.

I went to the game in the back of a Transit van with about 10 others, I was only 9. They all shoved me to the front when we were standing in the north west. But I am so confused because I could have sworn the lights were on and Chelsea were in yellow. Oh shit I'm getting old.

I could have sworn Chelsea played in yellow (obviously not). I could have sworn it was an evening game (obviously not), have I got the wrong fixture? Did we play Chelsea early 70's midweek with them wearing yellow? And did we lose 1-2? However I was standing North West, pretty much where you were.
