[Albion] Your first away game watching The Albion

[Slum_Wolf]

2-1 defeat to Bury 27th February 1988...it was also my first Albion game.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Followed a month later by the defeat at Chelsea in the next round. Chelsea 4 Brighton 0

My first away at Stamford Bridge. We'd played so well to get a draw at home, but trounced in the replay.

 

[Bodian]

That would be Chester, four walls a door, no ceiling, walls covered in piss and a massive pile of shit in the corner

But at least it was open above to let the stench out and some light in!

 

[Wardy's twin]

Pretty sure it was Aldershot away 1974 when we lost 1-0 and they scuffed up the penalty spot before we took it....

 

[Van Cleef]

But at least it was open above to let the stench out and some light in!

Sounds like Selhurst.

 

[Hampden Park]

Smellhurst in the late 70's, got thrown out the holmsdale end, quite a few of us did.

 

[Ike and Tina Burner]

WeAreBrighton listed it as one of our 16 worst performances of all time. That's all I say.

 

[Dinner with Gotsmanov]

First away game, Luton Town , September 1982, lost 5-0.

First away win, Liverpool, February 1983, won 1-0. F A Cup-p, 5th round, on the way to Wembley.

 

[Mancgull]

Millwall away 76 if my memory serves me right. Lost 3-1

 

[knocky1]

Stoke City October 1980. 0-0 and lots of fog getting back to Sheffield.

 

[studio150]

Orient 1977 W 1-0

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Smellhurst in the late 70's, got thrown out the holmsdale end, quite a few of us did.

were you a very naughty boy, ex Royal Navy so I am guessing......

yes.

 

[Brok]

Bristol Rovers, at Eastville, about '75?
2-2
A bit like Withdean with a greyhound track round the pitch.

 

[Seagull on the Hill]

Gillingham September/October 1965
Lost 3-1
Johnny Goodchild scored for the Albion, if my memory is correct

 

[woody12a]

A bit of an eye-opener this one for you. Lots of trouble around the ground. Mine was portsmouth away 1973, this also with lots of trouble around the station, to the ground and back again. I think we lost 2-0.

Mine was Portsmouth away too, although it was September 1972, we lost 2-0, so guess it must have been the same game.

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Southend in the mid 70’s. We lost but not sure of the score.
I’ve been to Southend three or four times and never seen us win.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Might be this one

That’s it! I bow down to your googling skills

 

[heathgate]

Southampton at the old Dell.... 77/78 season.... That ground was a cramped shambles of a place, with a fair sprinkling of thugs.

 

[The Wookiee]

Palace v Brighton - Boxing Day 1986 - we lost 2-0

 

[PeakGull]

Aston Villa 2 (Allan Evans, Tony Morley) Brighton 1 (Teddy Maybank)
