anyone recall eastbourne v billericay 78/79 ish?

[Return of the Rev]

Was it the quarters of the fa vase? Bit of a crazy day

 

[pork pie]

I do.

Revenge for trouble at Worthing I believe. I cannot remember what round. It was Estbourne United at the Oval, Borough had not even left the local park league at that stage.

Why was it crazy?

And in the park and car park outside.

It was rally Brighton fans v West Ham fans. It was mental. Without old bill or stewards, there was nothing to stop real fighting rather than handbags.

I thought you meant it was 9 - 8 with 4 red cards or something along those lines.

I recall Seaside Rovers v United Colts 74/75 season at Seaside Rec! It was carnage as we lost 15-2 to the United junior team due mainly to the the fact that Enzo our Italian cat of a keeper had been replaced by a very able keeper but for the fact that he was 4ft 2in high!

What happened at Worthing ?

What happened at Worthing ?

A load of Worthing Brighton supporters got a kicking in an earlier round. Or at least that is why we all went down there to get revenge when the numbers were a bit more even. Worthing lads came over as well.

I remember Lewes v Billericay around the same time (possibly even same season), they had a huge following for a non-league club at their level. Billericay were runaway leaders of the old Isthmian League Div 2 (or possibly Div 3). Lewes were second at the time I think. They brought loads to the Pan - attendance definitely in four figures - but can't remember it 'kicking off' at all. Great game - finished 2-2, last minute goal. I seem to remember some old fella fan died of a heart attack that day tho.
