[BBassic]

My 12th birthday.

Well remembered.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

We were appallingly shit.

Were extremely loose

 

[Icy Gull]

The days when we were fans not customers

 

[zefarelly]

I was 25, with tickets to both games, we were indeed appalingly shit, but happy daze.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

These next two games could be season defining

 

[Brok]

At least 6 of that 4th division went on to the top, and win trophies between them. Only us and Fulham still here, at the moment...

 

[GT49er]

....and half of the PL in 1997 aren't there now - and of the ten that are left, seven of them were in the top ten back then.

Totting up, I've been to 63 of those grounds!!

The 'joys' of supporting Brighton years ago kids, was that we were hopeless and played at some real sh1tty places and grounds

What a journey though the club have been on

Quite liked that experience. Felt like we were a tribe, especially away from home on a dark cold Tuesday night in Rochdale in winter, with about 200 other Albion fans.

Totting up, so have I. But for one reason or another, down to about 45 now due to various changes.

Trying to remember how much Bury owed to stop them going out of business but it was less than Leeds got fined for asking where my boyfriend was,what exactly happens to the fines clubs get? Apart from the FA meetings in Mauritius 4 times a bloody year. What's wrong with having a meeting in Bury and donating the flight&hotel costs to #teamslikebury.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

At least 6 of that 4th division went on to the top, and win trophies between them. Only us and Fulham still here, at the moment...

And 6 from tier 3, three still in tier 1

Always being able to get an away ticket !

51. Madness!

I LOVED the experience!!

Expected to lose (the Zamora years notwithstanding) so anything gained was a positive

And never ceased to amaze me with the amount of supporters we would take (midweek) to far-flung northern outposts. Well in excess of 200!!

And no ticketing nonsense either

I have been to 80 as they were then and again more with some new ones.

A great reminder of how far we’ve come. What a journey. ️️
