That was mine as well. It was, what would you say, eventful. At halftime the pompey nutcases (and there were some proper mental cases) came into the Brighton "end" - I do not recall there being any proper segregation - we left well before the end of the game. Then when we got on the train at Fratton - we were attacked again this time with blokes wielding bits of fencing. How the train got back to Brighton I do not know. My memory is that it was fairly systematically dismantled.
"How was the football dear ?"
"Fine. We had a good day".

Friday 1st Jan 1988. Fulham. 2-1 to the blue and white stripes. Went on the coach from the Goldstone. Trying to get a train back to Worthing was a bleedin nightmare!
Actually, scrap that, it might have been Pompey the season before when Richard Tiltman replaced Dean Saunders. I think that may have been Deano's last game for us?

The only game I can remember was at Bournemouth in the very early seventies?
This ages me
but my Grand Dad took me to the Goldstone when I was around ten years old.I remember being passed down to the front of the Chicken Run while he watched from further back.
He played a good standard as did my Dad (Brighton Boys).
Unfortunately the footballing tradition went downhill with me-22 years Sunday League - starting off in Div 14 and finishing in Div 3---loved every minute of it tho.
