Later on this month, it will be 50 years since my first Albion game. I've written a few words about it.

Congrats....that match was my first game and my Dad took me too.

Did your father have you stand on a box like mine did?

Thanks [MENTION=118]Hiney[/MENTION] a great read, brings back similar memories of when my dad started taking me to watch the Albion , way back in 1976.

Lovely stuff!!

It was great to share a small part of your half century with you and your family on that sunny day at Withdean

A little ahead of you but the sentiments are the same

It's my half century this coming season as well, but my first game was either against Shrewsbury or Tranmere. I could check the dates but I won't

 

[Seasidesage]

Coming up on the half century myself and we share the same birthday strangely. After all that time I feel we are finally starting to realize our potential. I doubt very much I'll last another 50 years but I'll give it a go...

Bleedin' JCLs! Where were you in 1966 eh? eh?

Anyway, congratulations. We've seen a lot over the last 50 years and I still can't believe we are where we are.

(And I loved the shout-out for Charles Buchan’s Football Monthly! Great mag.)

When was the Wisbech FA Cup thrashing, anyone ? 10 - 0 I think ? .

 

[Worried Man Blues]

Good stuff, I am with you started sometime in 68 when we had Blue shirts with white sleeves. Was annoyed when we went to the new fangled stripes, yes I know now!

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Just realised, this is my 45th year... blimey already. I'm only 36, honest guv.

I mis-read that. I thought it said : “Did your father stand on a box like mine did?”

P.S. Upturned milk crates were also the go-to height adjusters in those days.

My golden anniversary of Albion watching was December 2015, 4th December to be precise, when the Albion took on mighty Bedford Town in the FA Cup fifty years previously. We drew 1-1 and lost the replay 2-1.

Still, at least I can say I was there when we were shit!

Well done Hiney, award yourself a gold embossed programme!

Made me think, i was 9 when my Dad took me to my first game so 51 years ago now. Can't even remember who we played but do remember it was a reserve team game or at least i think it was!

50 years for me too this season. Charlie Livesey, the Napier Bros, Brian Powney, Stood in the South stand in the section in front of the seats. Was hooked from my first game which I believe was against Bristol Rovers.

Another half-century here. First game was 16 March 1968 v Mansfield. Kit Napier!
