Eastville, just round the corner. Football looked so much more fun in those days.

What's there now? I saw a few good games there, back in the day.

The weekend after that documentary was shown, (if my memory serves me right) we beat Millwall at the Goldstone 3-2, coming back from 0-2 down. F-Troop were in the North....for a while! Treatment (complete with surgical masks) were in the West fighting with the police dogs, (I kid ye not). I must have been 14 or 15 years old & watched the Bosun crew tearing into Millwall at Hove station before the game & in the North Stand during the game.
I can also remember being on the train from Brighton to Hove wearing a plain blue & white scarf, lucky for me I chose that one & not my red white & blue with the dolphins crest, as the carriage was full of Millwall heavies singing "You can stick your stony beaches up your arse!" I obviously kept very quiet.
Ricky Ball & his mates welcomed them at Hove station, big time!

Those were "The Treatment" they wore surgical hats & masks, very odd & quite scary back then.

I thought the whole 'treatment' thing was a piss-take by HtD and his mates. Whilst they were nutters the 'treatment' and surgical masks was made up to rip the piss out of the bbc wasn't it?

You could be right mate, but they turned up at Brighton the following week wearing all the gear.

We played Millwall as the opening home league game of the season, 77-78. I think that Panorama programme was a bit later, maybe October/November. Apart from that, your memory is correct. A whole lot of them in the North Stand with the surgical masks on, although from a distance they looked like J-cloths. Little groups of Millwall just about everywhere else in the ground, too.

Pretty sure it wasn't 1st game season & definitely prior to that date.
Some historian on here must know the exact date, I just remember plenty of trouble & a great game where we came from 2 nil down to win 3-2.
I could be wrong but pretty sure it wasn't an opening game & think 76/77.

Yip.
They had the "Millwall" actors wear them in the tube attack scene from the movie "Rise of the Footsoldier" too

27/8/77 Brighton 3 Millwall 2 (ht 0-2). It was the first home league game of the season, but we had already played Cambridge twice at home in the League Cup as it had gone to a replay after two nil-nil draws.
Panorama: F Troop, Treatment and the Half-way Line was first broadcast on 14 November 1977.

funny how memory plays tricks with you. I could have sworn it was an evening game and didn't steve piper score a couple that night.
I remember it as a brilliant game and afterwards having to cower in a doorway on Goldstone Lane as the Millwall hoolies raced down the road hitting anyone in their way

Nope, definitely a Saturday, drizzly I seem to recall. But Stevie Piper did get the third. Wardy the first, opp og the second. Have absolutely no idea who scored for them.

I'm sure we played Millwall in an evening game too , could have been a season (or two) earlier though.

75-76. Won 1-0. Binney. Lost the return 3-1 at Cold Blow Lane on Good Friday; thank god we lost, otherwise.....well, I don't think the locals would have shaken our hands and said 'Well done, matey' as the game more or less decided the third promotion place.
We played Millwall in two evening games in 78-79, one in the League Cup, one in the League. Won them both.

It was the only game that season where the away fans were put in the west terrace, as opposed to the NE corner.
The Millwall fans weren't happy when the third goal went in.
I'm sure that there were a few squeaky bums in the West Stand!
Yes, we did play Millwall midweek in the late 70s.
Can't remember that though.
Time to dig out the history books.
