How many of the BIG games have you been to?

[Lifelong Supporter]

Yes a great chance for us to get there. Play offs are expected, 50/50 on the first round, then lose in the final, Barnes to miss a penalty.

hope i can get tickets for the play off final this time

 

[ExmouthExile]

2 out of 4 for me .... and to the 4/4ers

 

[Peter Grummit]

All 4 plus:

Liverpool (A) 83 in FACup
Newcastle (A) 79 for Div 1 promotion
Hereford
FACup SF Highbury
Leeds (H) 81 win to stay in top division
Bristol Rovers (H) 88 promotion game
Sheff Wed (H) 77 promotion game
Rochdale (H) 72 promotion game

Arguably the Big 12 Albion games.

By far the most important was Hereford.

The big games I've missed were
Watford (H) 58 1st ever promotion (not born)
Walsall (A) Champions last year (on holiday in Jordan: we won it too quickly for my planning!)
Villa Charity Shield 1910 (natch)

And Hereford, Sheffield wed, Walsall, etc...
Oh, and the big ones in a few weeks

 

[El Presidente]

Full set, Donny and Hereford in 1997 should be in the full set though!

 

[BearwoodSeagull]

3 for me - sadly working away in '91 so no full house.......but did go to Newcastle in '79 and Anfield and Highbury in '83

 

[Seasidesage]

All Four plus Hereford/Donny, Peter Ward's first game, err First at Gillingham, First at Withdean, first in Div 1, win at Forest to beat their unbeaten home record (52 games?) the 8-2 to Rovers. Christ what a waste of a life lol

 

[Upper Library]

2 for me - first one in 83 and play off final in 91.

Wasn't in the country for the 2004 play off final (still feel gutted i had to miss that one)

The cup final replay was my 10th birthday!!!! I still carry the pain in my heart to this day.......................

You've some great days/nights here, the only one I'd add to your list is the Div 4 promotion game at the Goldstone vs Darlington in April 1965 (3-1).

 

[pauli cee]

91 and 04, but the 83 cup final replay was the 1st football match i ever remembering watching on tv, (we got a vhs video recorder that day, and a new kitten), bless, happy days...

Yes it was magic that day.

 

[Mackenzie]

Two......three if you include Hereford, BIGGER than all of them.

 

[elbowpatches]

2 for me - the later two. 1983 was just a little 'un but I remember watching it on a black and white tv run on batteries brought out by neighbours on top of their car surrounded by umbrellas when there was a power cut. Glad that happened because I was listening to it in the car with my old man and it wasn't the same.

 

[Arkwright]

All four but being that must older does have an unfair advantage over some of the whippersnappers on NSC.

 

[Hiney]

Working in Jersey in 1983

Ignoring the purpose of the thread and poll (big games, being big stadia/events), I've been to about 360+ Albion games by my reckoning and I don't think I have been to a single 'big game'.

From memory...

'83 Final and Replay - Too young to attend
'91 Playoff - First season attending, missed out on tickets
'97 Doncaster - Watched from outside the ground in the pouring rain
'97 Hereford - School cricket match
'04 Swindon - Missed out on tickets and watched on TV
'04 Playoff Final - Broke down (with all my worldly possessions in the car) on the way to Devon/Cardiff
'11 Doncaster @ AMEX - Wedding in Bath

Other promotion clinching/relegation avoiding games were missed as well - apart from Ipswich @ Home.

I guess Nottm Forest and Mansfield @ Home ('99) were 'big games'.
