If you read both posts again you'll see I did not actually say that Brighton had played their home games at Gillingham PRIOR to this incident. Even if I did, when has inadvertently missing a sentence been worse than British adults going all the way to Dorset and back because he thought...
That makes sense. Travel 5 times the distance to play a team in a town a 5th of the size, in a team 5 leagues below. it would not be so bad but they used to watch the Brighton home games at Gillingham,
I checked it cos I had a very vague memory of the same. I remember it was definitely home to Torquay and recall someone at the station saying the match was off [it wash't], I did not move down to Sussex till Autumn 1969, so just wanted to check I was not going madder.
