A few things i recall, Big black Millwall fad mid week in 70,s-middle of north stand did have a swan off shot gun.Was not picked up by the police as stated here befor but was attacked by police dogs outside Hove station after the match. Brighton/Charlton fans fighting on the platforms at...

Greetings All,I can only say i was part of the WSF from the mid 70,s to early 80,S as moved to sunny Australia. The WSF or bosun was not just boys from the Bosun but a lose collection of other pubs who in need would meet up to support the albion or to meet on friday/sat nights.The Bosun was...

Showing my age here but liked the old song sweet molloy molane as she wheeled her barrow thourgh streets,wide and narrow singing Albion. Or the wolves fans we sang clap if you got a job,could be bloody quite in the whole ground nowdays. or too Peter shilton-DOES YOUR WIFE KNOW YOUR HERE :albion2:

Luton tickets no tickets,no problem.Just do what we did in the 70,s at Luton.Get there an hour befor kick off and kick in the gates and take the home end.EASY. Then get kicked out by the police and end up being chased back to the station by mad Luton Fans,Oh happy days.

Train poll Well had to be the train most times.I can recall away to rochdale with a big group of bosun back in late 70s.Can recall being chased all around london by Man utd at Euston station then stoke and man city fans when train stopped at manchester.The train up to rochdale had the buffet...

Most times paid the cost but not when using normal train service.Still getting someone under 14 i think to purchase child ticket but we all looked mid teens and older but never stoped by the old bill or ticket collectors.Mad rush back at brighton to get over the rail lines to unused...

I think I remember back in late 70,s that there was a 2nds match that you had to go to to get a voucher to be able to buy a ticket for Albions FA cup match the following weekend and there was over 20,000 to watch.Cant recall who we played but makes the 4395 seem so small.

West St firm Must admit to being in the Bosun drinking team back in late 70S early 80S.As the Bosun was so dark I and a few friends used the Vanguard as our main drinking pub and would meet their most friday nights and sat befor going to the game.I knew most of the Bosun crew and the orginal...
