Swindon Town 1st Jan 1977. Our family had travelled up from Hove to Oxford for a party to see our extended family. Me n my brother persuaded our parents to allow us to get a bus rather than stay at the party. Incredibly they agreed as we were 'responsible' 15 and 11 year olds. As most of you will know the game was abandoned after 67 minutes with us 4 nil down

Charlton 0 Brighton 4 (16 Oct 2010)
What a game that was. We ripped them apart, and the same with Peterborough 2 weeks later.

I look nothing like him!
That was one corking day out. Flares going off. Punch-ups everywhere. Brighton took over the place as they did regularly at Luton in those days.
If I remember correctly, we made the National News due our shenanigans!
"...and if you pass, the Oak Road End,
you'll hear old Stocky say...Ohhhhhhhh,
I've got a luverly bunch of Luton ****s!"

Them were the days, another kid called Bristow (I think) was very quick as well.

Crystal Palace in 1989. The game when Kelvin Morton awarded 5 penalties. What’s more I was standing in the Holmesdale End with the Palace fans!

We drew,so Mansfield won the league

Bradford City away c1972. We went 2 0 down before Kit Napier pulled one back. We still lost and it caused Saward to drop Henderson and John Napier, move Bert Murray to right back and Goodwin to centre half. We then sped onto promotion.
It was my first trip up north and boarded up houses and shops together with the cobbled streets were a completely new experience for me.

Lincoln 1-3 Brighton. 18th March 2000
Sat in the front row as a young lad and 4 Lincoln fans got up to celebrate their goal only to be clobbered all over the place and saved by the stewards. Very lively away games in that stretch of years.

Ninian Park 1984. That was the day I also said goodbye to a straight nose.

Me too. 0-0 in front of an official attendance of 48,617 but i swear there were far more than that. Probably approaching 5 figure Albion there and the "shelf" looked like it was going to collapse under sheer weight of numbers.
All very overwhelming for an 8 year old...

Me too.
Me too.
Me t.......... No, actually it was Reading away on November 15 1986; I'd started at Surrey University that autumn and so being based at Guildford, it was a no-brainer.

Was it the nil nil draw? In which case that was also mine, 1977.
Same here for the first two games. My mum wouldn't let me go to any earlier away games as apparently I was 'too young'! First 'genuine' away game would have been Watford away in the cup the following year.

Mine was Walsall back when Dinosaurs roamed freely around the land! we lost that I do remember (No we did not see below!!) and there was only about 5 of us there and we had the crap beaten out of us at Birmingham station by Sunderland fans they thought we were West Brom as thats who they played that day (this info might be wrong as well as regards the teams....we were very drunk and thats my only excuse for not remembering the details correctly!).........great day out though, well apart from the score (might have been 3..0?....(3...0 is correct except we won!!)
Opps.....i'm old!! just checked it was 1970 25th Feb and we WON 3...0
I couldn't resist
WBA & Sunderland didn't play that day
Midweek game?
Possible candidates for dishing out shoeing are
Newcastle played at Chelsea that night
As did Darlington at Aldershot
Timings seem out,unless they never made the game
The only other game that night was
Leicester v PNE
I reckon it was Preston fans

J'les aurai!
I bet it was
I was 14 at the time and remember not being able to see the match
Not unless I jumped up and down,which was nigh on impossible in the crush
