[sydney]

i can still remember the buzz around the goldstone , the night games were best ....!! the roar of the crowd and the sheer noise...not recreated at the amex as far as i'm aware.......bring it on ...!!

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Your not a real fan unless.... You have been to Selhurst and seen us win.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Make it to Hull in 86 to step of the train only to hear the game had been called off due to a water logged pitch. D

I did that in a Mini from Worthing and we ended up in the home end at Scunthorpe which became an uncomfortable experience. Looking back I can't understand why we didn't go in the away end (Southend?)...!

You've been to Northampton town's old ground on a Tuesday night in the back of Richie Hanks mk 2 Ford Fiesta. Security fencing so over the top could not see any of the game.

You have a wooden seat from the Goldstone and it was obtained by your good self.

Not a proper fan unless you watched the York re-arranged game on a Thursday morning (or was it Tuesday) at 11am. I was at Hove Park Upper and I was visiting the dentist at the time. Honestly.

I think it was a Thursday. I was working at the Alliance & Leicester nearby, so popped down. Was it free entry ? I seem to remember only the West Stand being open, and possibly the South.

Oh dear, it must be the Xmas drink. I was in the north stand which I thought was the only section open, and game was for season ticket holders only. A very surreal atmosphere.

.........unless you remember that it was actually a Monday night (Bank Holiday). Also 'compulsory' supporter membership cards were required.

You saw Richard Carpenter curl a free kick around the then current England's number 1 at White Hart Lane

Saw Albion lose 2-8 at home and didn't walk out until the match was over

Some great ones in here, wasn't really looking for specific matches unless something out of the ordinary happened, for example that squirrel that covered more yards than Nathan Jones at Withdean that time. Or when someone (Preston?) put a dangerous looking ball into our box, but rather than someone being on the end of it, El-Abd and their attacker were rolling on the floor with each other, neither interested at all in the ball.

Tree Boy? For the jcl's

You still have nightmares every time you hear 'are you Challis in disguise'
