Tel, as you and I ... and a few others on here ... know, Brighton away was always one of our highlights of the season ... even with a broken nose ;-)
One of my uncles was a bit of a Skin then and regularly travelled away....I remember his cheesecloth shirts, braces levis and DM's makes quite an impression on a young kid. Different world back then.
Ahh Tel, cheesecloth shirts, remember them well, quite the trend in the Covered End for a while. Remember a bunch of us travelling from Charlton to a Gillingham game, resplendent in boots jeans and showing off new cheesecloth shirts that one of our number had 'appropriated' from a store in Woolwich ... and of course the obligatory silk scarves tied round the wrist.
Ah the silk scarves....wonder if they will ever come back into fashion here? I had a cracking light blue cheesecloth shirt, levis, dark blue braces, but long hair...lol oh and dm's painted red...what a mixture.

I went to the Socceram Footy Fans downunder event in Sydney a couple of week back......got talking to a Brighton guy who formed Seagulls downunder a couple of years after we started ADU. Anyway, we were talking about games in the seventies (Bus station in particular) anyway, I explained the origins of Goodbye horse....he was really surprised as he hadnt heard the tale.....he got onto rivalries and of course they hate Palace with a passion...he was again surprised when I said that I had always hated Palace more than Millwall and our rivalry went back to the early-mid seventies.......Godbye Horse, Goodbye Horse, he was saying goodbye to his Horse....
