It was known as the Withdean by you. But if you have any proof it was officially called ' The Withdean ' rather than Withdean Stadium I will be surprised. I have heard Brighton Race course called Race Hill, I've always called it the Race Hill.

Rookery or Rockery anyone? :rolleyes:

Born and lived in Brighton for over 30 years before moving out this way, never heard anyone call it the Withdean until the Albion played there. I think the sign near the stadium now says Withdean Sports Complex, I suppose that covers the gym, tennis courts and the stadium.

Ever heard anyone referring to Wembley Stadium as "The Wembley " ? No, thought not.

This Only when the Albion played there, not by people from Brighton beforehand. The school I went to did our sports day there, nobody ever said "the Withdean " Eh? Going TO Withdean Stadium or down Withdean Stadium. This :thumbsup:

Freshfield Industrial Estate Eastern Road is there now, at the back of the estate is a boarded up tunnel. Station closed to passengers in 1933 but was used for freight until 1971. 26 June 1971 a special train for passengers ran to mark the closing of the line.

I just about remember going on the very last train journey from Brighton to Kemp Town station.

Born in Buckingham Road Brighton.
