Remember that well, really inpressed me . Also years later found a group of geordies supporting the Albion when we were away at Harlepool I asked why , they said it all atarted in 1979.. Newcastle fist but Brighton their second favourites. So was there in 1979 and will return this Saturday...

Highly likely, just an easy jaunt up the A1 from Donny. Going into training though for the everest like climb to the away end.

Feel for those travelling up. On top of which away fans get a pretty poor view of the match. We are, if it stays as usual , given seats high in the sky. So pack some binoculars and for us of more advanced years some oxygen.

Thanks for that. I last saw the diary in 1976 and there were no copying facilities where it was held (Regimental Museum in Beverley). So had to write my own notes which I have mislaid over the years. All the best.

Two of my uncles, Sussex boys, signed up to The East Yorkshires . Soldiering was their profession so they, on return from India, were sent with the regiment as the British Expedictionary Force. Later becoming known as the 'Old comtemptibles'. They were in the 1st Battalion but after most were...

Do remain voters regret voting Conservative last year? Just wondered as where we are now is down to that vote perhaps more than the one on June 23th. Remember only UKIP and the Conservatives had this option.

Living in the Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire, I have to agree. This is Labour heartland and you are hard pressed to find any who want to Remain.

Good. Anything to discourage the slow agonising suicide caused by this habit. Loss so many friends.

Yeah great idea!!! Just like Middlesborough making the more elderly support have to stand to see or block the view for my deaf lad leaving him with a totally miserable experience. If he can't hear and can't see whats he got left?. Sit down.

A number of our players were caught up in that, saw Sidwell defend himself, really worrying.

Driving up , the train was too expensive as my self plus son to pay for. Takes about an hour and a half from Donny.

Ok will cheer on your behalf. I was also at the games you mention, at Rotherham some Donny supporting mates also came.....somewhat embarrassing as I rather bigged us up and we were really poor. Did you go to the supporters match v Donny supporters, we might have met there. All told I have come...

Am in Sprotbrough. Near the Ivanhoe pub.:) Had sticker in car until someone took exception to it and smashed my car window one night:angry:. Will be going to Middlesborough are you?

Sorry to disturb you knowing you like your own company but as possibly the couple you refer to.....Hi! Should you ever feel like breaking out of your solitude we are happy to talk all things Albion.

Stockdale 4 Nervous in the warm up, it got worse, gifted goal to Lafferty throw out hit Birmingham player, he is prone to these lapses e.g Cardiff, Reading. Bruno 8 - Classy as usual but a little tired perhaps. Goldson 8 - Really solid with a great goal Dunk 9- MOM really excellent and you...

My personal hell was Hythe area ,Kent. Never have I met so many bigoted abusers. My disabled boy and wife suffered terribly.

Opposite for me loved the place or rather many of the people, I was at Uni back then , lived in Hardwick Street and just loved those Friday nights in the pub with the locals. Yes I know the crap bits but that is everywhere.

Loved his skills and the total football of that era . Can't believe it, a great from the wonderful 1970's has gone.

Different players for different positions. Goalkeeper- Peter shilton Centre defence- Bobby Moore Full back- Wayne Bridge Midfield- Billy Bremner Forward- Seen many including George Best but for me Peter Ward and or Alan Gilzean.

Yes qualified aged 16 but was a better player than ref, probably a better support than ref. Though I do know how hard it can be to make instant decisions and always be right. So I cut them some slack.....most of the time.
