When BHA ran out with those shirts on, just about everyone around me pissed themselves laughing....and they were the BHA supporters

I would have been 5 at the time and don't recall the match as was not into football at the time. Though have heard of the game from older Albion fans years later.

You are correct sir. He was crying his eyes out and said something along the lines of "we played really well and lost 3-0..."

I remember Brian Moore saying in the commentary that to get to the new Premier League could mean as much as a million pounds in extra revenue to the club.

Actually, it might not have been that game he said it, but it was around that time.

But the Premiership didn't start until 92/93, we would have been in the 1st dvision in 91/92, before the big money started to come in.

No point wondering where we might have been "if only" cos there have been more than a few clubs who have been in the so called promised land of the premier league, but are now in dire straits.... and I don't mean the band.

Aww, wish I'd gone, despite the fact I was 3 years old at the time. For people that went to this and Cardiff, which one was the better experience (result aside) atmosphere-wise? Did we outnumber the County fans at Wembley? How many Albion were there? Once I left Cardiff, I had a feeling I would never experience such a euphoric atmosphere ever again. But I was wrong, I went to Selhurst a year and a half later

we took just over 32k with county having about 27k

All I remember about the amtosphere was the County's feckin song:

"I HAD A WHEELBARROW, BUT THE WHEEL FELL OFF. I HAD A WHEELBARROW, BUT THE WHEEL FELL OFF"

Repeat ad infinitum!!!!!!!!!!

No,We were the better team both Walker and Wilkins hit the post and their first goal from a corner should not of been a corner.

Not only that but Im sure I remember Regis goal came off his chest and Johnsons other was a bit of a fluke.

Tubes that day were excellant fun !
Not a patch on Cardiff occasion looking back.
Had we got up there I think it was prob a few years too early to really of made a difference to the direction of the club.

Great Season that was !! Great memorys !

You're right about the Regis goal. He sort of almost ran into it and met it chest height.

I can't actually remember how we got to the game. I assume it was by tube.

Cardiff was in a different class though.

ahhh....2nd June 1991, i remember it well, it was my 26th birthday
i can't believe that was 16 years ago...

It was also my 26th birthday

Think it was probably one of my worst ever though. I realised very early on in the season that the play-off final was on my birthday so just 'knew' all season that we'd be there and get promoted. Everything was going so well...till County spoilt it. I won't forgive them for spoiling my birthday.

 

[Spunk Bubble]

We hit the woodwork twice in the first half. Clive Walker, who had been shite for most of the season, had a great game that day. The kit we wore that day must be the worst in football history

 

[Deleted User X18H]

I shagged Heather Mason the night before a far more enjoyable experience

 

[Seagullible]

remember it well. their first goal coming from a corner that should've been a goal kick. Walker creaming a header onbto the post, John Byrne comning on and hitting the bar, Deano fogetting he'd scored
haten them and warnock since
