Apologies, and thank you for the correction, I had it in my mind as Wigan.

Apologies, thanks for the correction.So special and emotional that you have forgotten it was played on a Saturday afternoon in April
I see it has already been mentioned on this thread that we played Barnet in the last evening match

Yep, got a bit of the Goldstone Turf after that game. That was a belter as was the league cup game against Derby. What a season that was.
Wigan was a rip roaring 3-3 Saturday game I recall?
Another shout out was for the England B game against Italy when Gazza was playing and Schillaci for Italy. Great atmosphere that night I recall.

Must have traveled with you to most away games. Which one did you miss ?
The West Ham match- seem to remember they were all over the Albion that night but somehow we won.
Newcastle away which was a Weds. I know Raf and a few others were there. Having just double checked on 11v11 I have no recollection of going to Northampton for the League Cup either.

Yes, it was postponed from the December. The famous match that was cancelled whilst we were in Jesmond. I didn't go to the re-arranged one either. I went to Northampton, the first time I had seen football there. Albion lost if I recall.

Beating first division Luton 4-1 in the FA Cup.

Snow? If so I was on the mini bus that day and we turned round at Toddington. Me and a couple of others got smashed in the Hove Park when we got back with Steve Foster as Luton's game had been called off too.

Yes, it was foolish of us to go up on the Friday. Utter waste of money.
Pretty certain Munday's goal against Leicester was at Filbert Street and wasn't a free kick!

Thats certainly right.
I'm trying to remember the first legf of the tie at the Goldstone, I was definitely there, was it a 1-1 with Nogan scoring? or did we win the game?
edit - it was 1-0 Nogan

A bit left field but for an evening match the reserves vs Arsenal, which I beleive was Ian Wright's debut, ended 5-4 to Arsenal with Wright getting a hatrick.
Best reserve game I'd ever seen.
Whilst on slightly odd games, and this may've been in daylight; another 5-4 vs Steau Bucharest. I beleive it was a friendly as part of the Stefan Iovan transfer. From memory they'd just won UEFA cup or similar and we were 4 nil uo at half time before they got it back to 4 - 4 and we then scored a late winner.

Phew! I thought so too.
What a night. Another tense encounter. The North Stand collectively sucking the ball into the net as Baird scrambled the only goal across the line with his chest.
I remember walking across Hove Park after, reflecting on the final evening match at The Goldstone, when I looked up and saw Hale-Bopp in the sky, clear as a bell.

The thee that standout to me have already been mentioned:
Liverpool in the F.A cup in 91. Blew my 10 year old mind to see the Albion go toe to toe with the mightiest team in the country. And we got Eubank parading his world title belt at half time as a bonus.
Leicester in the league cup, 94. The only time I've ever been scared in an Albion crowd. I swear there were twice as many people in the north stand than was safe. But we won! against a premier league team! Great performance and even better atmosphere(when I wasn't getting crushed and lifted off my feet)
Barnet, last ever night game, 97. Not much more to add other than we won , our imperious home form continuing and fueling the dream of survival and the atmosphere was fantastic.
