Here's a different one. Colchester at home November 63. Lost 0-1. But looking at my copy of Carder, it was the best Goldstone attendance of the season, 13,848, except for the home league game v Gillingham who were the eventual Champions. Back when the FA Cup meant something to fans. Then...

There are 3 classic photos of the Goldstone taken during the Big Freeze available online if you go looking for them. I could post them here but, having been out of the regular NSC loop for many years, I am uncertain of the copyright issue. Bozza? The corporation melting machine was used to...

Yeah, I was wondering whether anyone on NSC ever went to the Ringmer game. How many supporters did they take? The full village of 30 odd? Incidentally Albion's team on that day (in good old 2-3-5 formation and thanks to Tim Carder & Roger Harris) was Brian Powney; Stewart Henderson, John...

Will be the first time since May 2016 (Sheffield Wed Championship play off First Leg at Hillsborough) that neither Dunk nor Duffy have started for us...

A sad one from a different era, both bizarre and memorable. Torquay United at the Goldstone, 23 November 1963, the day after JFK was assassinated in Dallas. Walking up the hill at the back of the East Terrace from the turnstiles in Goldstone Lane, and realising that the usual hubbub of noise...

Thugwall, Harry Cripps and all, 12 September 1964 at the Old Den, a true baptism of fire. Despite Bobby Smith being in the side we lost 0-2. At the time, in the 1960s, Millwall were Albion's great local rivals, none of this Johnny-come-lately Palace nonsense...

Phil Gilbert - 27/04/1963 2 v Bradford (Park Avenue) Bobby Smith - 22/08/1964 2 v Barrow (as mentioned upthread) Kit Napier - 01/10/1966 2 v Peterborough Utd (as mentioned upthread) Didn't do things by halves in those days. Privileged to have been at the Goldstone to see them all. Adrian...

I haven’t posted on NSC for many a long year, but I felt that I had to add my sorrow at the news of his passing away and offer my sincere condolences to Roz too. Throughout the life of NSC His Bracknellship could be relied upon for producing the most cogent postings, coupled with a most acerbic...

From a different era, two home games in two days: 0-5 v Northampton, Good Friday 1963 0-1 v Bournemouth, Easter Saturday 1963 Northampton were well on their way to being champions, but Bournemouth were in the frame for relegation and this was a four-pointer in those days. The performance in...

The noticeboard shows just how much the good denizens of Falmer care about their village. The ivy creeps ever further over the poor neglected thing, and the snails have gradually munched their way through the drawing in the top left corner showing the plan for the Community Stadium... They...

Lewes District Council taxpayers and voters, these wonderful but now sadly derelict and dilapidated garages on the Brighton University site are what your Lib Dem Councillors and Norman Baker are fighting to keep! Cllr David Neighbour mentioned in his TV interview with Lord B that there were...

Division 1 2006/7 odds to win outright Post deleted - sorry!

Thugwall at the Old Den, 12 September 1964 - we lost 0-2 B*gg*r Palarse - in 1964 this was the real rivalry! Consulting the oracle our team that day (in ancient 2-3-5 format) was: Brian Powney: Alan Sanders, Norman Gall: Jack Bertolini, Robin Upton, Dave Turner: Wally Gould, Jimmy Collins...

:lolol: You cannot find something like that by random, mate! Own up - what were the search words?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Final points this season Yorkie, thank you for the translation from Shrimp-Speak. The mini leagues exist more in the mind than in reality imo, and change throughout the season. One other stat worth mentioning though, is that of our last 16 games left to play, 7 are against...

:lolol: It is truly depressing to see that the educational standards we associate with the slums in SE25 have spread to Lancing.

Re: Re: Final points this season Shrimp, read what I wrote. This is not how it will end up, but a starting point. With 16 games left there are bound to be shifts in form. Teams like Southampton (1 win and 6 defeats in 7) and Stoke (no wins in 6) are both in poor form and might enter the...
