Is this the one we lost 1-0 having missed a penalty?

Was it the nil nil draw? In which case that was also mine, 1977.

Yes it was, iirc we wore an all blue bukta kit, Keith Burtenshaw was their manager!

I can’t be certain but i think it was Oxford in around 83/84

Think mine was Charlton somewhere around 1990. Seem to remember we lost 1-2.

Same here. I had been going home for a few years but this was my first away day.

FA Cup 4th round, 1991, Liverpool, 2-2.

The memory of the come back from 2-0 down early in the second half to draw made me smile for years afterwards. In fact it was years and about 20 away games later until I saw the Albion win away.

Brighton vs Sundeland 21 July 2010 in Albufeira, Portugal

Coming from a family who weren't into football I had nobody to go with. I was allowed as a teenager to have a season ticket at the Withdean but not allowed to go to away games. Then at uni from 2007 so had no money.

Bounemouth 1994 fa cup lost 3 1

Northampton 2nd round of Worthington cup in 97 or 98, we got beat 2-1 and Storer scored for us. Was my first ever game too.

Gwylan · Mar 25, 2018

Hereford; no, not that one. It was in 1976 and Taylor surprised us all by dropping Fred Binney and played this skinny kid called Ward. Whatever happened to him?

sjamesb3466 · Mar 26, 2018

Gillingham at home I think!

In all seriousness I think it might be the playoff final in Cardiff. After that maybe Peterborough away a couple of years later.

DurringtonGull · Mar 26, 2018

It was Dec 27. For years I thought it was Boxing Day, apparently not.

Guinness Boy · Mar 26, 2018

Southend, September 1987. Lost 2-1, went on the Costa fun bus and it kicked off in the corner terrace. 87-88 was a brilliant season for aways but that was the only one we did on the coach :lolol:

Edit - just remembered that’s not right. Did all the other local ones on the train (Gillingham, Brentford x 2 and Aldershot stand out as lively) but did Chester on the coach as I remember playing football at Toddington services and hearing that an evening game at (I think) Notts Co had gone our way and promotion was still in our own hands.

Luton Away, September 1982, lost 5-0. Things could only get better........

.....as proved by next one being Watford away, when we held them to a 4-0 defeat.

Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
