[Football] What did you call Withdean?

The Wet Place ..... I'll never forget that sliding tackle by Gary Hart where he appeared to slide half a pitch length !

But in reality as a local at the time it was always Withdean to me.

Truly alarmed to note that there appear to be at least TEN daft feckers, in addition to MA, who called it The Withdean. Weirdos.

That bloody running track.

Withdean in the 70's, Withdean when we played there and Withdean when I do my track sessions on a Monday night.

I like saying The Withdean, but only because I know it's wrong.

Exactly. Like the Ukraine. We have several Ukranians at work. :lolol:

Withdean or if I was telling someone that I was going to a match and they had no clue about football or the Albion, I would say Withdean Stadium.

I called it Withdean Stadium before the Albion played there.

I used to call it the Withdean. Then i'd go to the Sportsman afterwards and see if I could watch the Arsenal on the telly

The Goldstone.
The Amex
Withdean (purely because I always knew it as Withdean Stadium)

Personally ‘Withers’ but it was Withdean Stadium.

I would say to my chums, “See you down the Withdean”

There was a 'this is the Withdean' sign as the players left the Portkabin dressing rooms.

Must have really intimidated the opposition.

As it sunk in they'd be facing Charlie and Chippy.

Thee Withdean

Withdean. The use of "the" was only acceptable when given its full title of The Withdean Stadium!

Seems like such a distant memory now, the time spent there.

That would explain it but as I remember it before it was a stadium, it will always be Withdean for me. Do you refer to The Falmer Stadium as The Falmer?

No, but I refer to The Amex Stadium as 'The Amex'.

Withdean, since my Balfour primary school sports days.
