THE GOLDSTONE GROUND !!  - How did I manage to go to this one ?!  - Mum didn''''t want me to go but i biked upto the railway station to buy the tickets and rode back shaking.  - Told Mum I had brought the tickets and made my way to Hove for the game. Saw a fight at Brighton Station and thought what have i got myself into !  -   - Stood in the home fans terrace and when Brighton scored I was whisked into my first "crowd surge" Great memories.  -   - Left the game just before the final whistle and ran back to Hove station to go to Brighton.  - Upon arriving at Brighton it dawned on me that I had missed the connecting train to London Victoria ( Oh Shit sprang to mind ) Got on the next train and got back to Liverpool street missing the last train to Stow.  - - Got on a Colchester train and Mum had to pick me up from there, where my first question was " did the game finish 1-0 ? "  -   - Not quite what Mum wanted to hear.  -   - Cant believe I got away with that one !!
