Is Cardiff the first MASSIVE Albion game for most NSC'ers

[Icy Gull]

How many are going to their first 50,000 plus crowd game in which the Albion are involved?

Must be loads of you as the only other ones were the two FA Cup finals and The Notts County playoff game.

I've been to all of them and I'm still as excited as a little boy on Christmas Eve, can't wait

 

[chips and gravy]

I also went to Old Trafford twice in 1993 where there were over 50,000!

 

[rrruss]

First big stadium game for me with the Albion.

However, I think Hereford was a bigger game.

 

[Adams score 0]

No .
For me there have been lots.
This is not that big compaired to others.

Are you sure about that, wasn't one end closed for those games?

The cup games.
I am sorry but the strettford end was not in use for them.

I forgot all about that.There was no way 50,000+ that night.

 

[Trigger]

I was at the Notts County play off match

 

[Gully]

Didn't get to either of the Cup Finals but made it to the Play Off at Wembley, was at the FA Cup Game at Old Trafford, Adams is right in saying that the Stretford end was being rebuilt at the time so I guess the crowd might have been about 40k or so, we did take about 6k of that.

My tickets arrived this afternoon and I am starting to get more than a little bit excited, off to Pompey tonight due to my work, hopefully we can go back there again the season after next...

 

[Turkey]

Yep.

 

[Braders]

um, yeah i guess it is

the championship games where huge but this so far has got to be my biggest away game

 

[Johners]

Old Trafford Oct 1979 - 52,000 had the pleasure of watching Eric Steele and Gary Williams fighting each other in front of the Stretford End. Gary Stevens, in one of first few games, broke his nose that day early that game & carried on throughout - saw him at Southwick Rec next morning when he had a complete shiner.

Wembley 1991

 

[Rambo]

I was at the 91 Play off final at Wembley.
Didnt make the 83 cup final (was 9)
Cant wait until Sunday, we are due some luck in a big game.

This game is a run of the mill game compared to many games in the past.

Every game after Steve Gritt became manager were bigger. Hartlepool on Fans Utd was HUGE, Doncaster last game at the Goldstone was HUGE and Hereford was HUGE.

It will certainly be the biggest crowd i've been in attendance though.

To clarify, I meant MASSIVE as in attendance not as in IMPORTANCE, nothing will surpass Hereford (except if it happens again )

 

[somerset]

League games 79-83 at old Trafford, probably over 50k, but cant be sure
5th round '83 Anfield.... certainly over 40k
Semi at Highbury, definitely over 50
2 x Finals '83
Notts county Play-off


and to be really flash (but only because the memories are still ggod).... a good number of 30k plusses at the Goldstone.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Didn't get to Wembley in 1983. So this will be the biggest crowd for an Albion match I've been part of.

There were only 59,940 at Wembley in 1991.

 

[somerset]

Oh .... and there was a third round FA cup away to Man U.... we were leading 2-0 at half time (Wardy I think).... we got beat in the replay at home..... that must have been 50k

 

[Icy Gull]
