Brighton play-offs

[mrverve]

Never forget the 1st game. Red and White in one end and Blue and White in the other. CG as jammed pack, scorching hot day, 4pm kick, on Sky, the atmosphere as amazing that day. We battered them for 90 minutes, don't know how we lost that game. Then in the 2nd leg, remember going crazy when Fallon scored and he came round to celebrate and then Virgo equalised. I knew we we're going to lose on pens. That season was brilliant though. Leeds in the CC was brilliant aswell.

the main thing that sticks in my mind - is the fact that with 5 minutes to go in extra time loads of their fans started leaving, then they heard the roar to celebrate Virgos goal (who for the record I fucking hate with a passion) and they all ran back in.

Then, when  they'd won on penalties the large majority of their fans were more interested in standing infront of our fans, giving us stick and the wanker signs than celebrating their win or congratulating there players.

Thus, why I hate Brighton have no respect for their fans or them as a club and wish them nothing but bad luck - which makes them being a bit good and doing well so fucking annoying.

That year we won at their place (after being behind no less) and they looked like going down was great, then they pulled off the great escape.

No club I hate more.

But like the Murphys........

I was only 11 but remember it so well.

Didn't have a season ticket back then so had to scramble all my stubs from previous games together just to get play-off tickets. Didn't make the second leg though but remember camping out in a friend's front room (we didn't have SKy back then) and going crazy when it looked like we were going through.

That season and 2009/10 are probably the best I've ever had as a Swindon fan.

I remeber that season well I went to every home match bunking off work for the games and not being missed good times

I ended up watching the Stanley cup, local side Calgary flames v Tampa bay lightning. Go flames go. I rang my mate to find out we'd lost, there were some good bars in banff to drown my sorrows.

Try living here.

Try having a housemate whose boyfriend is a massive Brighton fan

I presume your housemate was male?

Unbelievably I went to watch shitty st pauli v Bronby in a preseason friendly - nauturally I had my Swindon shirt on.
A group of english people asked me to take their picture at the game. We got talking and they were all from Brighton and went on & on about that bloody match.
Didn't hang around long, one because that pissed me off & the other from Brighton they were probably gay (Brighton Red is excluded from the 'everybody from Brighton is gay' jibe'

I was in a pub in Edinburgh, it was absolutely deserted and when I asked the barman to put Sky Sports on he muttered 'why do you want to watch that'?

We had already planned a group trip to Wembley when Virgo scored and that was the strawberries well and truly pissed on.

I think it may have rained that night and I got soaked walking home distraught.
