All thse who SHED A TEAR today say...... AYYYYYE!!!

[jimhigham]

As it happens...aye. I sort of felt on the verge of tears at several points during the day but the final whistle just did it for me. The happiest I have felt at an Albion match since Hereford.

 

[catfish]

AYYYYYYE!! - the flag display got me - what a superb sight that was.

 

[Southstandfaithful]

Ayeeeee watching all the flags before kick off and the Donny fans applauding!

 

[pottert]

Shed several,what a day one of the greatest of my life

 

[Byrne & Small]

did you feel the need to let a tear go, i don't blame you if you did....i was watching live link and felt it....AYYYYEE!!!!

I Shed a tear today. I lost my father of 59yrs old in January to the Evil cancer, We would go to the game together every week, he was a STH for atleast 25yrs but so cruelly he wasnt able to hang in there long enough to see us in our Superb Stadium. He would have been so proud of us 2day.

Im sure all our loved ones who have passed, Were there with us all.

Such a Great day and a Great Team!!!!

Welled up a little, but managed to tough it out.
The flags looked fantastic.

 

[itszamora]

Yep, flag waving and the videos, and GOSBTS. Amazing scenes.

A tear listening to Road to Falmer this morning before setting off and another in the East Concourse watching the family groups. But once out to my seat there was sheer bullish emotion.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

I'm not the emotional type, but I walked to the seats and all the flags were waving. I let go and for 5-10 minutes couldn't stop. Really surprised me, and I can't put my finger on what it was. I think it was the lost generations of kids who were seeing a proper home match for the first time.. Don't know. Just a marvelous occasion.

And much better to win as we did rather than a 4-0. It's going to extend the honeymoon period for the new fans

Flags again.

Seen Albion at many a big ground over the last few years but always as part of a noisey away section nad having to compete for noise whilst heavilly outnumbered. Today was really strange that, apart from the Donny contingent, it was all 'ours' and everybody was up to party.

Also, when their players were injured and the long delays, that's when the flags came out and I think really lifted the team.

Aye, Flags moment will live with me forever, shed tears and was so so proud.

[Marshy]

I did on the pre game video memories of last season

But the highlight of my day was turning to my 8 year old after Buckley equalised and i saw him crying with joy, that did set me off !

Great Great Day.

2:50ish. The flags, the singing, the big screen montage - I just lost it. I'd been to both games before today and truly believed I'd finished "the journey". I clearly hadn't.

I sobbed my heart out. We were here in a proper home after so long.

What a day.

Watched the game today on TV in my country (croatia). Nice new stadium, we cheered for you to turn it around...and Buckley did! Great day for you, enjoy it )

 

[Lindfield by the Pond]

Yep - let it go at about 2:50. Brighton are back, Brighton are back, whoa, whoa. Eyes welling again as I type. I f***ing love my club. My ears were hurting from the atmosphere. "We are Brighton, and we have an idendity".
