What was your first Albion away game?

[we hate palace]

Fulham away new years day 1988 Albion won 2-1

 

[Blackadder]

1-1 draw at Aldershot. 1975 ish? We just missed out on promotion that year.

We had about 8,000 in an 11,000 crowd. Goal posts were wrecked at the end.

 

[Blackadder]

Portsmouth away, Christmas 1976. Lost 1-0. I think Fozzie was playing for Pompey that day if I remember right.

I was there. We missed a penalty didn't we?

 

[Blackadder]

One of my favourite away games.....started off by being on the Shelf with a couple of drunken mates...

We were just in front of the shelf. Got their late and couldn't get in the Brighton end. That certainly was a hairy day!

1984 One all draw Vs Sheffield United at the Pig Sty

Yes we did although I could have sworn it was missed by Fred Binney, he put it wide of the keepers right hand post.

Not Wembley Cardiff etc
What was your first league/cup match away from Goldstone, Withdean, Amex.

Today is that first for Stat Club Juniors.

As Stat Father didn't take me to away games, I think mine might have been Hull in the FA Cup, the season we ALL went to Peterborough in the next round.


3-2 Albion - mid '80's.

Torquay away. 2001? We won 1-0, bobby with the goal.

 

[Herne Hill Seagull]

Reading at Elm Park in 1985. A wide-eyed 14-year-old, I watched terrified as it kicked off all over the town, inside the ground, at the station, bloody everywhere. A 2-1 defeat in which Trevor Senior handled the ball in controlling it to score the winner, last few minutes. Police opened the gates to the terrace and charged in afterwards. As a welcome to away supporting 80's style, it was pretty hairy.

Chester v Brighton May 1988

2-2, promoted that year.
