What was your first Albion away game?

[whitelion]

Watford...23rd March 1968. As others have said we just went off with mates...only ever went once with my dad as a child and that was a Boxing Day treat.

As for the match all I can remember is the "Macaulay out" chants and fans from London clubs there which caused lots of trouble. I think Brighton fans had got into the ground overnight and painted the goalposts blue.

Early 90's Plymouth away it was during the Christmas/new year period. Kurt Nogan scored for us that day and I think it was a 1-1 draw.

Funny thing is Plymouth was also the first game I saw at the Goldstone as well.

New Years Day 94 ? Drove down

 

[Baron Pepperpot]

It was Reading funnily enough. They won the league that day and their was a massive pitch invasion at the end. We had a few thousand up there though.

last match of the season 1994.

Mine was the defeat at Watford in the F.A Cup 1984

My first league one was a 5-1 defeat at Pompey, same year.

West Ham think it was 89 lost 3-1 after going 1-0 up Steve Gatting scored unless my memory is all wrong.

West Ham think it was 89 lost 3-1 after going 1-0 up Steve Gatting scored unless my memory is all wrong.

I was at West Ham away when Gatting scored an own goal from about 30 yards. We lost 3-1 or 2-1 that day. We were 1-0 up, Gatting lobbed Keeley from 30 yards for 1-1 and Julian Dicks deflection and that was the end of it. Small scored for us/

 

[cheshunt seagull]

Orient away 1977. 1-0; Paul Clark from 30 yards.

 

[symyjym]

Liverpool FA Cup run 83. Will never forget the penalty against us that they missed, and we watched the ball fly into the Cop in slow motion.

Also got a brick thrown through the coach window as a send off gesture as well

 

[The Orange Seagull]

Tottenham Hotspur October 1981, Albion won 1-0, scorer Robinson.

Must of been a different game still had Nelson and Bremner up front. Getting old all the games seem to mold into one.

Aldershot. FA Cup 3rd. round, 1967. 0-0

 

[Oscar]

2-2 vs Liverpool. FA Cup 1991.

 

[severnside gull]

Aldershot. FA Cup 3rd. round, 1967. 0-0

I remember rhat one! Dank and deary day stood in a corrugated tin shed and the football was dire........ all in all a proper awayday

First awayday I can recall for sure was Leyton Orient in the early 60's although I can't remember the score for certain - a 0-1 defeat rings a vague bell
We lived in London then and got to most of the games against rhe likes of Leyton, Brentford etc

 

[steve-c]

derby league cup replay early seventies the old baseball ground, we went on the old seagull special and i slept in the luggage rack on the way home, dad made me promise not to tell mum, lol

 

[KZNSeagull]

Palace away. Early 80's. Not a pleasant experience but at least we won.

 

[33057 Seagull]

Peterborough - February 1986 - FA Cup 2-2

 

[elbowpatches]

Charlton away. 1991? At Selhurst Park whilst the valley was being redeveloped. We won 2-1 or 3-1, can't quite remember. Great day out though. It was the Small/Gall/Codner era if I remember correctly.

 

[Motogull]

Early 80s, no idea which division, but between Man City (lost 4-0) West Ham (drew 1-1 Gerry Ryan gave us the lead) or Fulham (no idea what the result was).

 

[Mackenzie]

Brighton V Kelvin Morton
