I was on NSC before the reboot, but all the FGing and whatnot did my head in. The 'mailing list' was the place for me. Oh, and back in 2003 I rediscovered the joys of my job during the day . . . . anyway, I'm back and Kicking Bottom

witnessing a steward v fan related incident which was obviously going to result in some chucking out a very bizarre thing happened and i still have no idea how it occurred,there was some tugging,pushing and shoving then lo and behold the steward had been completely debagged.
He was just standing there in his high viz jacket black shoes and socks and some unflattering white Y fronts.
Next to him was an equally bemused Albion fan holding a pair of trousers with an expression that just read....."bugger"

At this rate you will double the number of posts in a ten minute period than you managed in total in ten years.

Brilliant posts.
Oh my memory is my father, map reading and being the excellent cartographer he is, mistook the services for a junction, sending us on a long trip up the motorway and missed the start of the game.

I remember the god awful long train journeys there and back. Good piss up though.
My mate getting a parking ticket when he parked down some side street. He was not best pleased that day.
To be honest like many have said, the football was so poor back then, that i have few if any memories of the games played there.
happiest day was when we left that hole!

Peter Smith's Bambi on Ice routine was legendary!
I remember this at half time a few times:
It gave me just a little bit of hope!

Yes...spoke to the landlady and she said,"It was nice to have Albion fans there because they were always singing but well behaved"....

And who could forget the magical silky skills of our loan player from QPR....one Michael Mahony Johnson....the worst p-layer ever to put on a Brighton shirt....
That proves how bad we were then. Minton was indeed class for us, but in general football terms he was a shocking player. After us, and with a well-overinflated sense of his own abilities, he went to Port Vale (in what is now the Championship) and sank without trace. He went briefly to Rotherham (where he was shit), and then went to Orient and failed there as well. Don't know what happened to him after that, I guess like all failed League players he went non-League where he could look good again.

Yep. Ended his career at Chelmsford City I believe.
I used to take my eldest, then a baby to Priestfield, he would sleep in the car and then sit on my lap for the game. So as not to disturb anyone else we would sit on our own. There was a female steward, who would regularly give us a pitying look, as we took our seat. Anyway one game I got there and looked down and there was a hedgehog under my seat. Well, I thought I best report this, as it seemed a little unusual, but the only response I got was "oh is there ?" and then she walked off.
Towards the end of the Priestfield era, I had to stop taking son number one. He was trying to get past the nappy phase and I had to take him to the toilet and managed to miss the only goal from a miserable run of about 5 games.
Great memories eh ! Beats queueing more than 5 minutes for a pie and a pint, or taking more than 30 minutes to get home from a packed modern stadium ?

He picked up a few injuries towards the end of his Albion career and I am not sure he was ever the same player again. Along with Culverhouse, the Ginger Prince, Richie the Bear and the sporadic Rod Thomas, one of the few worth watching from that era.

The best - the greasy spoon cafe just round the corner from the ground.
The worst- driving all the way there only to discover I'd left my season ticket behind and having to pay on the gate!
As for the actual games- I can't remember much about any if them, they were so memorable!
