[Albion] Earliest Albion FA Cup memory?

[Anger]

The only time I ever sat at the Goldstone - in the South Stand. Don't know why we did - but at least I stayed dry!

You were one up on me then. I stood on the East Terrace that day.

1982 Fourth Round 0-3 defeat at home to Oxford United. Woeful game.

Mine as well.

 

[Since1982]

My first ever Albion game was the 1-2 defeat at home to Notts County in the 4th round of the FA Cup on 31st Jan 1978. As I recall the match was due to be played on Saturday 28th but was delayed due to bad weather - the programmes had the original date. Stood on the East terrace.

Anybody else remember, like me, the day we scored 10 against Wisbech Town, but then went out in the second round in a replay at Bedford ?

MY first memory

 

[perseus]

22,229, again from Tim Carder, and it was against Notts County

We got there at ten in the morning, queue four abreast at one o'clock down to Conway Street bus station.

 

[perseus]

I think I'm right in saying that that game saw Aldershot's record crowd, just over six thousand of which I was one.
I was also there 33 years earlier for the 0-0 in 1967.

14,000 for the 0-0,

Jan 81. 2.2 vs Man Utd in the 3rd round. Watching Grandstand and Trying fo find out the score. Likely had Rugby League on live. That was before we had The luxury of Ceefax!

Bedford Town at the Goldstone, Nov/Dec 1965. We drew 1-1 and then lost the replay 2-1. The Albion really didn’t do the FA Cup very well in the 60s and 70s. Apart from a creditable draw with Chelsea 1-1 in 1967 we achieved bugger all when I watched them in’t Cup. Further compounded by watching the glorious defeats to Walton and Hersham and Leatherhead. Hey ho.

 

[Barry Izbak]

7-1 home win over Hillingdon ( I think) circa 1972

 

[smillie's garden]

The first FA Cup match I attended was the 3rd round defeat of Scarborough that others have mentioned already. Stood in the SW corner.

What was the name of local lad who played for Walton

Think I remember the Scarborough match. They were non-league at the time.

Wasn't that the one with a woman in the chicken run constantly ringing a bell?

Earliest I can recall 3rd round 1973. Lost 2-0 to Chelsea (Osgood 2). I think John Templeman and Ron "Chopper" Harris got sent off for scrapping.

Do you know, we were 2-0 up at half time

Couldn't be sure,seems you've confirmed it

My earliest Cup memories are

WBA away - League Cup I think - we won
Ipswich at home - no idea which cup - I think we won
Derby Home and away - again no idea - we lost in the replay away
Forest away - no idea which cup - we lost

Those games could cover a number of years but they are the only ones I remember as being early in my Albion supporting days

They are all League Cup matches

I asked for FA Cup

 

[Jack Straw]

14,000 for the 0-0,

I thought it would have been higher at the 0-0 too, but I saw the 6,000 crowd listed in a list of record attendances.
I assume that the 6,000 is the record since Aldershot reformed in 1992?
