In what DECADE did you FIRST see an Albion HOME game ?

[Moshe Gariani]

1983 Cup Quarter final v Norwich.....
Seem to recall some very unhappy Norwich supporters in the Little Chef on the way home on the A23....banging on about "offside" or something?!

More of a foul than offside wasn't it...?

1990s

To be precise, Albion 1-1 Hartlepool on 21 August 1993.

Ahh, that'll be it. I was too busy cowering behind my dad at the time.
Looked a perfectly good goal from behind the goal, although i spent the next 10 minutes trying to find one of my shoes. All went a bit manic...that i do remember.

I think this poll result is really interesting. Expected a lot more newbies TBH.

Yep, if the pole is representative of Albion's fanbase generally, then it proves there are far less jcl's than our friends up the road imagine.

60s for me

2000's

70's for me.

Anyone who says the 60's or earlier is lying, because they would be far to old to operate a PC.

You're right, 1960s for me - 1965 to be precise. Now, do I press button A or button B to put this message through?

2005, Boxing Day fixture at the Withdean against QPR. A family friend gave us some tickets to see the game, and I still have my own ticket stub from that same match. IIRC, it ended 0-0.

EDIT: It actually finished 1-0 to us, I checked on Wikipedia.

1958 for me. First time promoted to the then Second division. Don't recall my first match, but do remember the game against Middlesborough, we lost 4-6. Dave Sexton got a hat trick for us inside 3 minutes.

18.Dec.1954 B'ton 1-2 Millwall

My folks' nextdoor neighbour saw his first game in 1932.

Boxing day '67 - Gillingham - Uncle & Dad took me to walk off Christmas - think we won 3-1 - I was only 7 - stood on a little fold-up chair in the East.

Managed to find a programme of the game on eBay a few years ago - makes for interesting reading

Boxing Day 1979 for me. Came away with half the price of the train fare in silver, have always loved the Goldstone.
