[Albion] Fans United Video (possibly rare)

[Sompting_Seagull]

Great day, and the only game I saw from the east stand. Really liked that view.

Great memories, it was a cracking day out and the five goals scored day contributed to us staying up on goal difference.

I still have the document we issued as a press pack prior to the game.

Goals FOR. They changed the rules, for that single season, from GD. If it HAD been Goal Difference, we'd have gone out of the league!

Goals scored were decisive before goal difference in the football league from 1992-93 up until 1998-99.

Great day and maybe we should remember this before we accuse clubs that helped us as being 'Noddy'

Are you sure?

All the league tables since the end of goal average, show goal difference, apart from the excellent experiment with goals scored in 96/97

That tallies with my recollection.

I found this footage I had taped off an obsure cable channel whilst clearing out some old VHS.

It has some interviews pre and post match, one of which includes the origins of the 'customers not fans' argument!

Hopefully it's of interest.

Brilliant.

I've got a DVD of loads of the reports over the two years leading up to the final game.

Thanks for posting that, great video and really brings it all back

Shows how far we've come (but we'll never forget)

Have a look at the above link showing the div 3 table from 92-93.

Scarborough in 13th had a goal difference of -12. Scunthorpe in 14th had a goal difference of -7.

That's my wife at the start of the video. Chewing gum and waiting to get in to the north stand. She wasn't my wife then, but is now.

Can we put our hands on our hearts and say we Have we reciprocated the gesture to other clubs who have suffered similar ??

Ok we've supported Plymouth recently, but lots of clubs have gone tits up since that original fans utd day, and let's be honest, have we helped like they helped us ?

Brilliant.

There was a DVD made after the final game (I think) they went into the eclipse after the game and interviewed some fans (including my brother) I had a copy once but can't lost it. Any ideas what it was called?

I think it was just called 'Fans United'

I'll dig it out tomorrow and check.

A fair few of us went up to Wrexham in 2004

Thanks for that. What a day that was.

Such a great video! Wasn't around during that time but i'm sure they were dark days.

 

[kevo]

Excellent, thanks for posting that. A unique day and a shame it got virtually no coverage at the time. The national press in particular completely ignored it.

 

[mikes smalls]

Very emotional watching that footage. I remember the gates of the Northstand being flung open and watching fans stream inside.
Is there a list of all the clubs who were represented that day?
