No poll, poor spelling and grammar and a swipe at the posts on NSC. Watch ya back for the NSCM. I was a regular in the North Stand but have decided on WSU. Free beer you see.

I suppose NSC is full of ex North Standers like me, who are now in their 40s or 50s & whilst the heart says North Stand the head says West.

The defining point for me at the presentation was that beer can be bought during the game in the West!
North Standers only can get a pint before or after a match.

Most of us have booked in large groups to avoid that happening. The grannies have to navigate five flights of stairs anyway. Thanks for your concern though.

I can't believe there are many Albion diehards out there ( 40+ ) who didn't go in the old North Stand at some time or another.
I debuted there in 1965 and made many sorties back over the years.
Now...well I've gone WSL....but I shall look across at the new North Stand, when the lads are in full voice and think back to those halcyon days when I was at the Goldstone. When the hair on the back of your neck used to stand on end, as the noise under that roof battered your senses. When you would jump and sing for the best part of 90 mins and come out afterwards drained to the core.
I might be in my more mature years now but I got the teeshirt years ago and inside every ageing ex-north stander there is still that glow of satisfaction when the massed ranks are giving their all for the cause.

I am 66 next week and was a North Stander at the Goldstone. I have already booked my seat in the Amex North Stand, together with my son, son-in-law, 3 grandsons and several friends with their kids.

40 years ago this year i first stood in the North West with my Dad, i watched from the East once or twice and plenty from the South, was never in the West Stand but sat on the West Terrace in April 1996 v York City after the game had been abandoned, and for my last game at The Goldstone in 1997 i was in The South again, but for the majority of my many Albion games i was in the North Stand and loved it! In the North Stand i reckon i stood on almost every step, (how many were there?) left, right or centre. At first we were always near the front and a little towards the west, later it could be anywhere, half way up behind the goal, slightly to the east later on. I liked to get there early and never left before the end. Seldom bought food or drink.

Falmer? wherever! Happy to be there as often as i can!

I only went in the North Stand once - the time they locked us out of the West Stand Terrace.

North was a second home, loved being one of the first hundred or so in there, getting a place on the crush barrier, watching the players warm up, the other stands filling up. Working a few weekends a month these days means a season ticket isn't for me and so I shall be sampling the view from all four sides at Falmer.
