We could fill any empty seats with them, also they make more noise than the prawn sandwich brigade. Gouranga.

I'm not sure, but it was against a background of various clubs' fans flaunting inflatables, most infamously Man City with big yellow bananas (I think?). I think that if we did it today, minus any particular context, it would look just a little bit silly and ever so slightly gay.

(Boxing Day match wasn't it?) it certainly was and we gave man city all of the stand to our right[opp butler st having a brain spasms cant for the life of me remember its name] and they were very vocal and waving their bananas about and the bastards took the lead. but step forward chris kamara and we turned the game on its head winning 3-1 and serenading the man city fans with "you can stick your fucking bananas up your arse" happy days

They brought down something like 8,000 that day & had their bananas shoved firmly up their shitter

I had a relative over from Aus that Xmas and we(few lads from the pub) Corky's as it was called then, took him to that game. His first footie match. A packed Boothen all on form and singing their hearts out.... happy days. One of the very many best sights of the day was seeing this Aussie been pushed to the front of our section C of the Boothen, with a massive grin on his face after we scored!!! Mind you he wasn't smiling later after the Pedigree from the Rigger made him bad, if you know what I mean..

The bananas came about because they had a player name Imre Varadi. Who for some reason became known as Imre Banana. After that other clubs just picked random inflatables

Brighton away when we were relegated under Alan Ball some youth was dressed in a pink panther costume. It must have been the hottest day of the year that day, poor sod.

Please no to a return of the pink panther (no pun intended), they were cringeworthy at best. But those Manchester City fans brought all sorts of inflatables that day. I can remember seeing a paddling pool and an inflatable Newcastle Brown bottle in the Butler Street Paddock that particular Boxing Day. I know I'd had a few drinks but I'm sure that I saw a fried egg inflatable! Those were the very early days of the Oatcake Fanzine too.

What a day out that was. Lpl I got the mail train down to Euston just after midnight and had beers with Widnes RL supporters before getting on the tube to Victoria at 6am and hitting Brighton Prom at 7.45am. The last my mother saw of me I was going for a pint at the Smithfield at 7pm. The next time she saw me was Sunday, a day out indeed

Yes they did. We gave Man City the whole of the Butler Street Stand and Paddock (pre exec boxes) and the Stoke End paddock so there was at least as many of their fans as there was Stoke. Surely the only time this has ever happened??

West Ham had Hammers funnily enough but I honestly don't have a clue why we chose Pink Panthers. Mine had a slow puncture and by the time I'd walked down Whieldon Road it was virtually flat

Although there could very well have been a few up in the stand as well.

You're probably right,my memory is shot to shit these days. It was a strange decision either way to give them so many tickets.
