I can actually remember that old wooden West Stand, which burnt down after the game, when we beat Watford for our first ever promotion to the old division 2.

Brilliant! Thanks for the link. Grea to see a snapshot of 1930s style training (and humour).

I had no idea that the 'Tamplin's Ales - Brighton's Winning Beers' advertising had lasted so long, from 1930s to the early 1970s.

Also, very interesting to see the players doing work with the ball in training. Wasn't the received wisdom at the time that if the players didn't see the ball during the week it would make them all the more keen to see it on Saturdays during the match?

Maybe they didn't see much of the ball during the game

Golf Club is West Hove, used to run to the edge of West Blatchington Junior School. Used to have Nine holes. It features quite a lot in my younger life.
I also remember the Goldstone with the old wooden stand, the thing that sticks most in my mind is the picket fence all the way round the edge, after the war it was painted white.
