Must admit we thought that was the one. We are still looking forward to the first one out of the ground
It's a rare sight these days with the advent of redeveloped stadia.
Nothing used to generate a "Yeeeaaahhh!" from all four sides of the ground quite like a clearance or shoot that resulted in the ball leaving the ground entirely.

Has one even made it into the upper tiers yet?
I can't remember one, not even from Barnsley.

We had the same conversation when it happened but then remembered Ulloas penalty last season which is apparently still orbiting Earth.

Anyone remember Danny Cullips shot at Withdean, which while it didn't make the railway line, it certianly cleared the Burger Vans?

T.Elphick and Adam Virgo, under the tutelage of Guy 'ClearYerLines' Butters, were always a clear and present danger to any aircraft on the approach to Gatwick during the Withdean era.

Was it a Gardner shot?

I used to enjoy it when balls were hoofed on to the roof of the old West Stand. You'd hear the ball start to roll, and would have to guess whether it was going off the back, off the front, or getting stuck behind the advertising hoarding that was up there.

Silly old bat
Dunk's shot, which nearly cleared the stadium, did land in the East upper.

Shurely shome mishtake? As I recall it, the entire Goldstone was always a pulsating, raucous cauldron of noise.

That's the one - much like the game as a whole it started very promisingly, but then dropped off very quickly.

I don't think that particular clearance was anywhere near as high as it first appeared. Optical illusion.
More comical were the efforts of the crowd at the south end of the East Stand to retrieve the ball for a late Wigan throw in. Must have been dropped behind seats at least four times in the process. Imagine if a manager like Warnock was involved: he'd have been apoplectic

From East Lower it looked like it could have gone over. I was praying for it coming down near me to get my head on it.
Remember the one at Withdean, when we were defending grimly, holding a 1-0 lead, when Hinshelwood smashed it into the woods. Everybody cheered,and the defenders stood admiring it.
While one of the opposition garbbed another ball from the ball boy, took a quick throw, and they ran unchallenged on goal and scored
