Video highlights - The last ever match at the Goldstone 1997 - with commentary!

[Goldstone Rapper]

Tomorrow, it will be exactly 14 years since Brighton v Doncaster Rovers at the Goldstone Ground.

Thanks to the wanderbus for supplying the video. After much editing, I've synced it up with the Tony Millard's commentary from South Coast Radio.

Enjoy this über-emotional occasion:

And check out the premature pitch invasion before the real thing!

very emotional . never forgotten

Can you find the first game at the Goldstone and splice the commentary into that? That would be much more impressive.

Just watched the entire thing whilst ironing my shirts, have to say when it came to the goal and the final whistle there wasn't much water needed in the iron to provide the steam.

Still the only goal celebration to bring the hairs up on the back of my neck. The biggest roar I've ever heard at an Albion game.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Just given me total goosebumps. I was right behind the goal when Storer scored and I will NEVER forget it!!

 

[fire&skill]

Great job, GR - a very enjoyable watch.

It's amazing there isn't an official commemorative DVD of this game, but there is of the Saints game last season. Just shows how far things have come technology-wise and sort of shows the complete lack of interest that Archer/Bellotti had for the club they were attempting to destroy.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Superb,just saw myself on the pitch when the goal went in!.Jim Proudfoot gave that Everything from the commentary box.

 

[Martinf]

I was on the East. What a day. As Fat Boy says - we've come a long long way together.

 

[Smithy]

Awesome footage.

 

[Caveman]

Such a long time ago now, but like yesterday.

Very moving and sadly miss the old place.

But roll on the Amex in the Championship!! The struggle and the fights were worth it in the end

Unfortunately, we can't find this video! Either it has been deleted, or it never existed in the first place.

The best thing that Ian 'Bonkers' Baird did in that match was get sent off with Moore, who went on to play in the Premiership, and was all over us that match.

 

[alan partridge]

that sir, is brilliant. Thankyou.

 

[blue2]

thank you great and at the same time sad memories, I think I can just pick myself out with my boy in the south stand

 

[Simster]

Great vid. I watched 20 mins of it last night and concluded that:

a) we really were f***ing SHITE back then, especially considering that match represented a massive improvement on the first half of the season.
b) Donny weren't really trying very hard. And yes, I know they were theoretically in danger of relegation themselves at the time.
c) I don't remember seeing the whole Goldstone as passionate as it was on that day.

 

[gripper stebson]

Great to watch but also really sad. I loved that place.

 

[Bwian]

Thanks for that, I honestly didn't remember much about the game itself apart from the goal so you've filled in a lot of the blanks.

Any chance of a copy? Please!
