[Albion] 442 magazine, last day at the Goldstone

[PeterT]

It’s a long shot but does anyone know which edition of 442 magazine featured the last day at the Goldstone and, better still, does anyone know how I can get a copy?

There was a good picture of me in there digging up the pitch and someone gave me a copy when they were reading it and saw me in there. Unfortunately my copy went missing during a house move and I suspect by now that I won’t find it again. I did find another picture of me leaving the ground on a website, but it wasn’t as good as the one in 442.

Failing that I’ll just stand outside Lidl and recreate the picture!

Was it the feature on ghost grounds or did they do another story on it?

If I remember correctly it was just about the Albion. And to narrow it down I moved house around 5 years later and recall having it in the old house, so it must have come out between 1997 and 2002.

I think I may have "cuttings" from the article, yes I butchered it and put bits in a scrape book along with newspaper cuttings etc etc.
I will have a look on Friday night after work if you have no success, sorry can't look tonight after work as I am doing the weekly shop and I can't be arsed doing anything after I have done that and put it all away.
If I remember correctly there is a picture of some rather wet looking guys huddled together kneeling down tugging at the grass, while others were crowded around, someone was wearing a red away top with blue collars, I could be wrong.

Thanks. Sounds like the picture. I was in a brown coat watching on.

I probably cut you out then

I reckon it’s the May 1999 one, sounds about right to me!

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t prior to 1997.

Not for the want of trying!

Good article, I think I’ve read that one already.

It’s not the 2002 edition, I have got this one as there is a photo of me in there, there are no photos of fans digging up the pitch.

My missus was working with him recently in his accountancy role, no Sex Pistols playing apparently!

There was a copy of the 1999 one on ebay for a fiver, so I’ve ordered it. It can be returned if it’s the wrong one or else I’ll be advertising it on here soon for £4!

Hopefully it will be the one with your photo in.

Hopefully it will be the one with your photo in.

The ebay seller has sent me through some pictures of the magazine and it’s definitely the right one. So thanks to everyone on here who helped me track it down, a nice keepsake to have of a significant day.
