And sausages

Four on a seat to fit everyone in? Long as I’m sitting on the other three ok….bit of a negative on queues for the toilets/food though

I miss Withdean- there I’ve said it! Could we not play Europa and Top 4 games at the Amex and cup games and shit teams there

I remember having a paper season ticket for Withdean and tearing off the games from a booklet/stubs. Wow. How things have changed.

either you have lost the plot or this is a wind up

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Can I go against the grain here, sorry but....

I hated Withdean, it served a purpose I guess, but I really hated the stadium.

there I have said it, bad me.

Once a season, 100% we should be able to do this.

How? There's no South Stand, just a grassy knoll

 

[Tubby Mondays]

You forgot the availability of chips.

Did anyone ever eat all of their chips with curry sauce there?!

I’d get some ever 6 weeks/2 months on the basis that ‘this time it would different’ as nd it never was!

Binned before I got to my seat with three quarters uneaten.

Until next time.

 

[Bakero]

Good times

 

[Hotchilidog]

Good times

Cracking 2-1 win against the odds in that game and I believe we were down to 10 men for most of it. Happy days indeed

Not just you. Everybody hated Withdean. I would happily have stayed at Gillingham until the Amex was built.

..."An element of compromise." Yeah, no kidding.

Thank you, Tony.

Oh cool, I used to love the synchronised foot stamping to make the scaffolding stand rumble...

 

[faoileán]

And we had a drum back then to bring a bit of coordination...

Disclaimer; I lived Surrey/Kent border at the time so Gillingham was an easy drive. It was also a proper football ground though and I much preferred it to Withdean.

I miss Mr Whippy perhaps we could have one outside the Amex in the summer Im sure it would be very popular lets bring the best bits of Withdean to Falmer

Fair enough if it was an easy journey for you.
I honestly think the club would have ended up non league if we had stayed at Priestfield for longer than 2 seasons.

Not everyone hated Withdean at all. I think an awful lot of people were very happy to have the Albion back in Brighton & Hove. A decade+ in Gillingham would have killed the club - no doubt about that.
