Must be well over 1000, as started on 1963, home games, mainly and continued all
My life. Having a 'break' in the 80's when playing Saturday football, but went to evening and early and late season games. Pretty much full on since the Archer days and only missed a few homes since then and go to about 2/3rd of away games. Seen some crap in my time to be honest, but would not change a thing, even the Archer times made us better fans.

I don't know. Somewhere between 400 - 600, I'd guess.

What I do know though is that I age at about 50 times the normal rate when watching a game. I reckon I must be at least 145 years' old by now.

Saw most home games and a few away from 62 until Ieft England in 1971, since then just games when I am back in Brighton, which has been a least a game a season - though since Premiership actually see nearly every game on the box - good old Sky!!

Great question. Never really thought about it.
I'd guess at somewhere in the region of 300 games.

Over 800 at least, but could never give a truly 100% accurate figure.

1968 - 2020, so 52 seasons, some well attended, some not for various reasons. I’d guess about 800

From '85, Goldstone and Withdean season ticket holder. However, lived in London for over 20 years and see between 5 & 10 a season. However, Premier League ticketing has made away games around the capital problematic and now have to watch away games from home ends (which is pants except watching West Ham). Somewhere around 300 or 400, I really have no idea.

About 300. Been to only a small number in recent years as I tend to follow via radio and TV.

Of those about a third are away matches.I used to go to the vast majority of games from 1990-1997. Missed one year abroad.

I've been to around 80 grounds, about 65 with Albion. Never been to Leeds though. I've missed a few BIG clubs in there.

My first season was 1964 so I’ve probably seen more than 1000. I lapsed a bit during the late 80s but came back for the Great Depression ( otherwise known as the Archer and Bellotti years) and have been a season ticket holder ever since.

I'll claim 1250 - a bit over 25 a year for a bit under 50 years.

First match in the late 70s and been a regular ever since bar when I was away in the Navy 92-97 so I estimate 800+. My Dad has been going since the late 40s when football resumed after the war and rarely misses home matches so well in excess of 1000+ and I doubt there are many alive that have seen more over as many seasons!

Started end of 76/77, hardly missed a home game for the until 84/85 and did a few aways each season in that period. Then a period of playing Saturday football so missed a fair few. From early 90's had a period of doing all home games (ended up getting a North Stand Season Ticket) and around half the away games. Missed a few at Gillingham the first season but then got another Season Ticket ready for the return to Withdean and held one ever since.

Using some very rough maths, I reckon I must be somewhere in the 750 region including cup games.

Must be around 1,000. Had a season ticket since 1977 other than at Gillingham where I still went to most of the games. Did every game in 81 season when we had our highest finish.

I reckon about 350 since 1st game in 1979. Played Saturday football until age of 36 so limited me in those days. Cant wait to go again !

A monstrously JCL 80-90 live games where I've physically been there.

As willy-waving goes on this thread, I have a winky the size of a 20/20 vision cobbler's thumb.

Now there’s an expression I haven’t heard in ages. I chap I worked with spent a night indulging in ferocious carnal activity. The following morning he declared to all and sundry - “God! My knob feels like a blind cobbler’s thumb.”
