Anyone remember the "service" in the bar at the back of the north stand. People moan at Withdean catering but f*** me it was SHOCKING in the North stand. No chance of getting served before the team came out for the second half, half cooked rat burgers at about £3 a pop (a fortune 15-20 years ago). It was f***ing horrible.

Probably only the Town Hall car park can match that these days.
Big relief here. Saves spending a few £££s on domain names...
Yep there was but the best one was at the side of the West Stand. It used to sometimes stay open during the game so you could continue drinking. That all ended when we played Birmingham and the Brum fans broke in during the game and a near-riot broke out. After that there was no more bar.
Yes yes i remember that now you mention it.........will never forget the Brummies comming in the west stand terrace......i was in there that day and we had to hop on to the pitch a bit swifto......was after the fences were removed and they had a couple of bar/barriers to keep you of the pitch!

The brums came into the north west,they didnt realise a small group of lads stood in that spot by the bar,recall brums trying to open emonia bottles before they got lamped, they got run out and chased by a brighton fan whacking the last one on the head with a broom,as he went through the gate he found himself infront of ten or so police just looking on

If this is true and there's plenty of singing,i might be tempted to give up stewarding and
come back as a fan,miss the goldstone days.

I really can't see the new North Stand being very noisy all the time.
The old North Stand was noisy on occasion but that was the exception rather than the rule. The way football has changed since then won't help the vociferousness of the new stand at all either. I'd love to be proved wrong and this post to be bounced in years to come but I really can't see it. I'll continue to enjoy the atmosphere at away games in the mean time.

could do with a under 16 section within the singing section of about 200 seats let the youngsters get involved with the atmosphere
if the club dont stiffle the new north section it could take off

What Memories!!!! The old North stand Pisser.............
I remember seeing a programme on tv about this woman that holds her breath for five minutes and goes diving with the whales,( very fit bird btw). They were all going on about how amazing she is to hold her breath for such a long time. I thought Bollocks!!! I remember holding my breath for longer than that in the north stand Karzi on a sell out.
