Same here, I don't recall very much of the match. We got a train from Brighton at about 7am and my brother's mate got on at Hassocks with a crate of Stella, that was finished by the time we got to London.

Brentford away about 12 odd years ago , on the train back from Victoria the next stop was supposed to be East Croydon as we were going to get off and have a drink there but it made an unscheduled stop at Selhurst and I got out and fell onto the gravel as the platform was obviously shorter , bit dangerous really as I got back by climbing on the wheels .

Orient away for Russell Slade's first ever game. Turned up late, had to beg the stewards to let one of our mates in and then the fun really started when we tried to identify who was playing for us. I think there was Tommy Fraser and AEA and the rest were all loanees I'd never heard of, didn't recognise and frankly, didn't give a shit about. Another of my mates was so pissed he got confused and started celebrating Orient getting a penalty. I went on a walkabout around that big stand they always give us, lost my mates and ended up in the Gun Inn around Liverpool Street picking fights with plastic Man U fans. I did try to arrange to meet up with friends but apparently I couldn't give an exact location for where I was. My mates said that all I could confirm was that I was in a newsagents and they sold Mars bars.

Two which spring to mind
The Withdean game when they gave away free champagne, we kept walking between the different places they were giving it away downing it and getting another until they ran out. That was in addition to the usual 5 pints in the pub pre match.
and the other was Grimsby away when we got relegated from the championship. Drinking in a mini bus all the way up there then into some dodgy ex servicemans club place and more drinking and I seem to recall they were serving beer in the stand as well. Slaughtered by kick off. I remember going mental at the grimsby player gesticulating that we were going down. (Michael Keane?)

Villa away in the cup few years back. I remember going absolutely potty for Elphick's equalizer, then I slumped down in my seat and fell asleep. The fell out of the cab as I got back to Birmingham New Street.
Newcastle 1979 so pissed when we scored playing in yellow and seeing Newcastle in identical Bukta kit but black and white , thought we went one down and was most annoyed . didn't help throwing up on the concourse too ! 17 and my first experience of Newcastle Exhibition ale

Southampton home at The Amex when we beat them 3-0. Got the train home considerably inebriated, fell asleep on said train and subsequently woke up in Portsmouth
Whilst on the subject of falling asleep on the train after watching the albion, last season I did the same thing on the Brighton to London. Trouble was when I woke up the Brighton to London train was by then the London to Brighton.

Possibly the game in Le Havre , drinking all night on the ferry , then a few hours kip then started again about 8am , drinking all through the day and evening then went clubbing . Chucked out of the club then walked but couldn't find my hotel so I slept in a car which I found open .
Woke up not too bad but started to walk to the ferry then I could see it sailing away , forgot to put my watch forward 1 hour
fortunately my cousin took my luggage from the hotel and left my passport at the customs desk . What a trip

oh well i had a decent kip.
Someone mentioned on here already once did at least 2 laps of the Circle Line...
I recall GUPPY getting completely wasted at Plymouth, and being even more obnoxious than usual, and as a consequence he was ejected from the ground. He stumbled back to the station, got on a train without checking the destination, fell asleep and ended up at Penzance, which is as close to Lands End as you can get.

how pissed do you have to be to stick one of them old 80's Brighton ski hats on you head just as you walk past a pub with about 200 Mackums standing outside?

I'm a bit hazy on this for obvious reasons, but in the early 80's I was not able to get to go to football at the Goldstone due to being married with a young family and a big mortgage. So, I would go local and support Worthing at Woodside from time to time. They were a good team about that time and matches were often high scoring and quite exciting.
One year they made it to the Sussex Senior Cup semis against Brighton and the match was due to be staged at The Goldstone although I think I recall only the West Stand was open. Having had a thin time of football and beer to economy costs I rather went for it like a dog eating a bag of hot chips, I was comfortably pissed but not a mess but I learned a valuable lesson in life. Worthing beat Brighton That day 3-1 but I missed all three Worthing goals, including a 25 yard thunderbolt (allegedely) as I was in the toilets having a leak.

Haha I have never heard that part of the story before! When drinking in Sunderland if you go to the game hammered you will only be the same as all the home fans.
Worst for me at a Brighton match was a Friday night game a few years ago cannot remember which and me and a mate had been doing Jager bombs to try and wake up after having a heavy week at work!
