Albeit in the bottom tier of the Jimmy Mac with my view partially blocked by the cross bar....underneath which The Beast just happened to save a Penalty!....my opinion is that is the most awe inspiring game I have seen the Super Clarets play in. Better than Wembley? Yes! Better than Orient? I have to say Yes, but then I was only 8! Marginally better than York City versus Burnley when I had my first vivid memory of my team being successful?
But to watch my team do what they did on Wednesday on the hallowed Turf, the place where I have an abundance of memories of looking to the Heavens as a kid wishing my team would 'please, please score a goal' and be better than they were - I have five little words...Proud to be a Claret....Followed by 1 word. WOW.

Great thread
Beautifully written
Proud - Too right
Best match - emotion close to Wembley
Enjoying the admiration from the "other" top flight fans
Bring on Everton and then the first organised Susse Clarets trip of season to Stamford Bridge.
Tickets are now on general sale I have heard.
Quite a few of us already have tickets.
Proud to be Premier League

Great thread. It certainly was a night to remember and made me very proud indeed of the manager, players and club as a whole - what a long way we have come in recent years. However, for me, Wembley was a day I will never forget and surpasses Wednesday's nights efforts as without that vital win we wouldn't be enjoying magical nights like that. UTC! For anyone that didn't make it, please check the photo section of the site for a few pics of a packed Turf and a video (yes that is me you can hear going mental!!! ;D  ) www.sussexclarets.co.uk |

I agree with the comments made above about the how proud it feels to be a Claret. I was lucky enough to be in the Cricket Field Stand for both the Man U and Everton games and saw both goals right in front of me. However, the atmosphere, passion and sheer spirit has to be experienced. It was sheer noise.
The last time I saw a game from the CF stand was back in 1969 when I was a ball boy and had to stand among the building behind a hoarding to retrieve the ball. It was good to be back.
