I travelled to Brighton listening on the radio to events unfolding in the USA.
At the Withdean we sat in a little stand with about 4 rows of seats on the side of the running track watching Saints win their first game of the season after 3 straight Premier League defeats.
We won 3-0 James Beattie a minute before half time and two Anders Svensson goals, also the first goals of the season in front of 6,489.
Anyone else make this trip. |  |

Yes went to this game.
Was in the pub in the lanes when news came through of the events in America.
After a bit of uncertainty the game went ahead but I seem to remember it had a strange atmosphere, understandably. |  | | |

Who on that night would have envisaged Brighton going on the path they have? |  |

Yes, I drove down to the game with another London based ST holder. Think we were both a bit surprised the game went ahead and as a previous poster has said there was a quite subdued atmosphere. We were also in those seats in the small stand.
A few days later I remember there was a huge backlash against the American comedienne Joan Rivers who’d said there were probably a few women out there that would have been relieved that their husbands had perished in the twin towers as they treated their wives like sh#t. Nearly cost her her career but for once she wasn’t making a controversial joke she was making a serious point. In the end the wife of a senior Cantor Fitzgerald executive who died in the towers came forward in support of Rivers saying she spot on and she was not the only one widowed who felt the same way. |  |

This sounded odd to me, so I googled. She wasn't making a serious point. She was making a joke about long term relationships. Here is it. It's in bad taste, but people are laughing.
