At Royal St Georges getting wetter than I’ve ever been on a golf course

Haven't a clue!!!!, so I googled it and the only thing that came up was that, 'NASA's Dawn space probe enters orbit around the protoplanet Vesta', I presume, in anticipation of intercepting Ulloa penalty

anyone got the Albion line up?

 

[Spiros]

I was there with my youngest daughter. An emotional day. On the park and ride bus from Mill Lane as it come down the hill past Coldean and the stadium came into view it went very quiet as everyone just took it in.

It would have been my dad's 72nd birthday but sadly he'd passed away a couple of years before. He'd have loved it, as a man who started watching the Albion in the late 40's and saw his last game only a couple of months before he died.

I was there, what a day it was

 

[Insel affe]

Yes, took the wife and one and half year old, who was running about and went running in the mens toilets !

We sat across from Gus, I was in heaven at the Amex our home and within spitting distance of our saviour, oh and Gary scored !!
glorious sunny day, everything was perfect.


I had been several times before, as we did some flooring in the suites, and Dicks bar, it has changed so much, those empty corners are now full.

One thing I am sure of is, but never materialised, is that once when I was walking round during the build was that there were booths or stalls within the concourse and someone who was showing me to where I needed to go, said the they were betting stalls for Ladbrokes or William Hill. Glad they did not to be honest, I could be wrong, but I am positive I had that conversation.

Anyway, it was a glorious day, I could relax after years of hurt and anguish, The Doncaster game surpassed that day obviously with the end result, I cried on the way in and the way out....

We did it

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Moi

I was theree.
