[Albion] When was your 1st Albion game ?

[darkwolf666]

March 5th 1969

Brighton 0 - 0 Plymouth Argyle

I got very lucky with this game. Taken by an older brother.

16,000 was decent core support for a mid-table third division team.

Note the future Everton manager in goal for them.

I got Seven (7)

17th November 1973 v Chesterfield. 0-0

Can't remember anything other than my team, St Francis U12s had had a tour of the Goldstone prior to the game. Didn't go again until 1976/77 v Halifax. Regrettably, not stop going since!

Early 1970s vs Bradford City

27th December 1982

Brighton 0-1 Southampton

In the chicken run, Sammy Nelson played for us that day.....that’s about all I can remember.

Away at Aldershot, FA Cup 1967. Bunked off the coach home after a school second XI morning match at Farnham or somewhere thereabouts. Scintillating 0-0 draw. As the crowd filed out at the end, the crush was such that I was able to lift both feet off the ground at the same time - and keep them there!
First home match soon after - Charlie Livesey's goals secured a win against Tranmere.

I was at the replay at the Goldstone when we won 3-1, there was a big crowd as we had drawn Chelsea for the 4th round tie. My abiding memory was the North Stand doing a very naughty chant of “Whose the goalie with the big fat arse? Godfrey! Godfrey!” - their tribute to the Aldershot keeper, Tony Godfrey.

Can we have a poll with dates from about 1960? I Think we would be amazed how many posters have been following Albion for 40 years plus.

March 1953. My dad took me for my 8th birthday. I'm pretty sure it was Swindon and we lost.

When similar things have been looked at before, it’s remarkable how many got hooked in the mid 70’s.

Mid-60’s Sussex births!

August 15th 1970 ...Home to Torquay ...0-0.

Sept 1958. Liverpool at home 2-2 draw.

 

[Mexican Seagull]

My first game was a 0-0 draw in 1962 home to Liverpool in the 2nd division, we got relegated and Liverpool promoted at the end of the season. I was also at the Aldershot FA Cup away game as well as the Chelsea home draw.

April 69. Home v Gillingham. Last game of the season. Gills needed a result to stay up.

They got it! We lost 0-2.

Count me in! December 1965, my first Albion game was a draw with Bedford Town in the FA Cup, 1-1.

Blimey, that makes it nearly 55 years - I think I’d better go and lie down for a bit.
