ALBION QUIZ QUESTION: Can anyone tell me the significance of this match, and how it links to our game at the Amex against Manchester United next month?

 

[stewart12]

was it the last time we've played a match in the top two divisions under a Labour government?

edit- no, no it isnt

 

[Gazwag]

Was that the last home match of the season and we played them first home match next season

was it the last time we've played a match in the top two divisions under a Labour government?

edit- no, no it isnt

Last time at home under a 'proper' Labour Government?

 

[Eeyore]

It was our last home match of the season and led into the promotion match at Newcastle.

Beyond that, dunno. We played Manchester United in our last home match last year.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Both opponents are from oop t'North?

 

[Lenny Rider]

Both attendances will have been cosmetic.

Who, of a certain age will forget August 1979, when visitors Arsenal opened our top flight history, apparently a number of the 'clickers' malfunctioned on the turnstiles and they was only under 29,000 recorded in the Goldstone, when it was nearer 34,000

As dear old Mr Bamber used to say, "cash is king"

Ah, but it may be the last home match we played in which the government changed to a different party between that and the next home game in the following season.

Actually, it may not be.

Is it Teddy Maybank was useless and so are Man U?

Was that the last home match of the season and we played them first home match next season

I thought we had this with happen with Man Utd already. Last home game of the first season in Prem with Gross’ winner and the goal line technology, then beating them 3-2 in first home game of the next season with Duffy, Murray & Gross

Next home game was Arsenal.....our top flight debut.

 

[KZNSeagull]

There seemed to be an awful lot of fannying around at the back but not in the way we are currently accustomed.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Cracked it.

Blackburn was on 28 04, Man Ure is on 24 08.

Easy when you know.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Given today's computer fuckup....both matches pay on the gate?

 

[The Albion Roar]

Answer: A few people were very close, but just skirted around the exact answer.

Man U at home next month the first home league game at our permanent home under Labour since that Blackburn Rovers game in April 1979 - 45 years 118 days (or 16,555 days).

Well that was more like a political quiz than a Albion related quiz. Were you really counting the days?

I wonder which way you voted

That’s some fact thanks. Similar to being at cricket and a ripple of applause rings Out, only to discover its the 1400 wicket to fall on a Tuesday day 2 of a championship game before lunch.

Well, you could look at it that way. But only if you want to.

Which way I voted is absolutely nothing to do with you. So you can wonder until your head wobbles off its moorings, if you like.

This weekend there were 65 games played in the English and Scottish Leagues. Only one was goalless .

Have the Albion ever achieved this before ?

AI says "Yes, Brighton and Hove Albion have achieved goalless draws before."
