[Franks Wild Years]

1974, can't remember who it was against, but Cloughie was in charge and I was very young. My dad took me and my sister and I remember him pointing out Cloughs kids in the dugout. I was hooked and went to every home match for the next 10 years.
I know its a cliche but its the only thing me and my dad ever did together. He was a total bastard most of the time but for a few hours on a Saturday he was a nice fella.

 

[FamilyGuy]

An evening game, about 1980, some bloke at work (in Worthing) was going and invited me along. We beat Wolves 3-0 and I was hooked!

Foster, Grealish, Robinson, Moseley, Ryan..........great days.

:yahoo:

 

[Wilko]

Won 2-0 vs Wimbledon around 1985 I think. My second game we beat Carlisle 6-1 and the third lost to Charlton 3-5 - so a pretty impressive start to my Albion memories

 

[Uncle Buck]

Against Middlesborough in 1991. It was a 1-1, Mark Gall I think scored for us and they equalised with a penalty, which was iffy as Crumplin was pushed over in the box and the ref gave handball against him (I think).

 

[Carrot Cruncher]

Middlesborough in 1984, last home game of the season. Sat in the South Stand.

We won 3-0, I think Danny Wilson scored a penalty, Neil Smillie scored and there was an own goal.

I was hooked...

 

[unnameable]

Albion v Sunderland. August 26th 1972. Drew 2-2. I still have the programme.

BHA 0 Grimsby Town 0, Division Three, 19/03/88.

 

[Eastleigh Seagull]

I think it was against Swansea in 1981 in the lego stand before moving to the proper West Stand the following season. Row A seats 2,3 & 4 (not all for me) for the next ten years.

 

[bhafc]

3-2 win against Sunderland in 1983, we were 2-0
down at half time.

[Dave the OAP]

1974/5 Palace home won 1-0 I seem to recall.

have been hooked ever since

( I must have done something really awful in my previous life)

having said that:

FA Cup Final at Wembley

many Championships

promotion to the first division ( when it really meant something)

many relegations

great players , crap players , excellent managers , dreadful ones , good owners , bad owners , WANKER owners

met some really good people who I am happy to call friends.

 

[Jello]

Mansfield at home 2nd April '77 it was an early 7th birthday present. Had a seat in the south stand, think we won 4-2 and they had a player sent off

[hans kraay fan club]

It was in 1981, when I was ten, but I couldn't tell you who it was against.

Walked up Sackville Road from Prinsep Rd where we lived, lugging a big pile of old papers, which we'd swap for a free portion of chips from the chippy, then down the O.S.rd eating them.

£1 to watch from the South East Terrace, and that included your program.

Happy days

 

[John Boy]

First game of the 1994/1995 season, against Rotherham (I think)

 

[ali jenkins]

Home to Bmuff in the mid-90's i think, cant remember the score or the date but i loved it none the less and it was AWESOME!

Ah, i remember it was an EVENING game as i was allowed to stay up after my BED-TIME for it!

 

[Scotty Mac]

wolves at home, sometime in 1988ish i believe
