Wembley 83 was before my time :( and play off final 91 was too young to go, so sunday is going to be my biggest game and I cannot wait it's going to be awesome.
 


Not my first, went to both FA Cup finals and the Semi. The playoff final at wembley. I was a season ticket holder (with my Dad) for the 1978/79 promotion season and the following seasons.

But i am sooooo excited :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I was old enough for Wembley 83 but not able to go, so this will be the largest crowd for an Albion game I have been to.

Don't forget:

Chelsea away in the FA Cup replay in 1967: 54,850

and

Sheff Wed in the FA Cup Semi-Final in 1983: 54,650

went to the first

:ascarf:

but not the second

:cry:

I agree with many others on here; this isn't a very big game in terms of its on-the-pitch importance. Hereford, Doncaster, perhaps even Wigan at home that season were ENORMOUS games for us.

But this is our chance to point out so much about Falmer, and to attract new support, and to have a good time.

So it's a big MATCH even if it's not a big GAME.

Oh jesus, I now sound like Richie Morris. Time for bed.

Newbury, Berkshire.
92,000 for the replay at Wembly was my 'biggest' game.

Anyone remember the attendance for the Liverpool FA Cup game at Anfield in 1991 ( or was it '92 ? ) I was at that one as well.

Went to Old Trafford for the League Cup game in '92, it seemed more than 25K at the time, but the Stretford End was being ' cantilevered ' to match the rest of the ground.

Went to a few big crowds not involving the Albion when at Uni in London, Chelsea vs. Liverpool and Arsenal against someone I've totally forgotten ( Villa ??? ) spring hazily to mind !

Funny to think that in 1983, Man Utd were getting gates only slightly bigger than Leicester & Southampton get these days innit.

Easily the biggest for me! The biggest I've been to before this was Sheffield Wednesday. But that was half empty as usual.

I'd forgotten about the Stretford end being rebuilt when we las went to Old Trafford.

Incidentally how many were at the game at Anfield in 1991? That must have been a big crowd.
