[Albion] Our average league gate will be over 26k..,

[Brovion]

We got to the quarter finals of the league cup in 78/79 didn't we ? Maybe that was the figure that I have taken into consideration so as to get the lesser difference in gates. That could well have raised the average. I do concede you are right on league attendances though.
My story of the Seagulls has overprints on those 2 years and I got it from the club for a quid along with the A to Z. Teach me for being a cheapskate.

When was the Wolves 3-2 defeat at home when Lauro got a belter ? That was a big gate that year wasn't it in the league cup.

We did indeed, that was when we lost 2-1 to Notts Forest. It was also the same season that we lost 3-2 at home to Wolves in the FA Cup (not league cup) with as you say Lawrenson scoring one of the best goals I've ever seen. (A crowd of 25,217 if you're interested).

The average attendances I've been quoting have all been for league games only.

as a kid I used to walk in and sit at the back of the north about 12.00 before they shut the main gates
