Yes, you totally outplayed us at the Rec - I’ll admit I didn’t see the first leg at the Goldstone so I can’t comment. I do remember those bloody milk floats parading around the pitch at halftime! Just like the Albion that night - well and truly skimmed. Sorry! :rolleyes:

Could have been but I’m not sure. I do remember the crowd was around 11,000 and probably 8,000 were Albion fans. Our chance of promotion went with our defeat to Millwall on Good Friday. Peter Taylor resigned at the end of the season and Alan Mullery took over - and took us to the top tier in...

My memories of the Recreation Ground are varied - the awful Milk Cup tie of 84/85 (I think that was the season) where the Albion were appalling and lost in extra time on a two leg tie. A convincing 4-1 in the league in 1987 and the other one was an Easter weekend game in 1976 when we drew 1-1...

I posted something like this before, anyway here goes - in 1978 I was working in Manchester and decided to go to Maine Road for a mid-week match between Man City and Nottingham Forest. At the time Forest were top of the old Division One and close to winning the title. When I arrived at the...

I, too, was at that game. I remember that they played a recording of the commentary of all the goals on the P.A. after the game - b*****ds! P.S. Was that the game that Willie Young played for us - or gave a poor imitation of it?

The Bournemouth game was played on the 27th as Boxing Day (26th) fell on a Sunday. Me and my pal were driving back from a party in Bognor when we passed dozens of coaches of B’muff fans. As we passed each one we waved, they waved back followed by a flurry of w*nker signs and two fingered up...

In 1969 (I think that was the year) didn’t a load of Brighton fans cause trouble at Kenilworth Road and burned down Luton’s supporters’ club hut? Didn’t improve the appearance of the ground though. :drink:

I thought that was Barnet?

It was back in 1966 at the end of an Albion match at the Goldstone. At the time you could “hire” leather cushions for comfort if you sat on the hard wooden seats of the West Stand. From what I remember the game was crap, the Albion were crap and the ref was crap. When the final whistle blew...
