When were these photos taken at the Goldstone ?

[WATFORD zero]

I think the pictures on here are a perfect summary of the time and exactly as i remember it. Across the 10 or so photos we have one person landing a punch, a couple more grabbing each other by the jackets and about 250 shouting 'hold me back'



Bit i'm sure it was because I wasn't ITK

It was one hell of a punch though!

But it wasn't really embarrassing at the time, it was normal......like now we take cctv and high density stewarding as the normal now......back in the 70/80's .... even the police were reluctant to stand up to some of the mobs we saw around the country......I repeat, not clever, just the sign of those times.

loved it , got nicked, got a slap, oh well

Yes it was. I remember going to the first game with the new roof. (can't remember who we played). Pretty certain it was several games into the 84/85 season.

From the Barnsley game, 20th October 1984.

Interesting comments about atmosphere!

Using an inflation calculator from 1984, Elkie Brooks tickets would cost £24, £21, or £18.

Top price Shirley Bassey tickets would cost £45 today.

are you bored ?

Yep.

There is an inflation calculator on the Money Supermarket site so it only took a minute. I always like to compare prices as people are always saying - it was so much cheaper back then...clearly not that different from todays prices...

When England fans still carried the Union Jack and not the flag of St George plus some Brighton fans in Blue and white it looks like Denmark or Luxembourg?
