Sod all the misery.....

[m20gull]

Here are ten things I wouldn't have done if I didn't follow the Albion.

1 Win a lion glove puppet from a tombola at a services on the way to York.
2 Watch the 1997 Eurovision song contest in a pub in Hereford.
3 Go to a cup final in a bright blue jumper with an FA Cup badge pinned to it.
4 Get my picture on the back page of the Guardian, sat on the terraces at York looking miserable BEFORE we lost!
5 Shelter from the snow in a pub in Wigan, full of Albion fans
6 Watch Torquay lose at home to Enfield (the same week we'd played at Plymouth on the Saturday)
7 Drive all the way to Huddersfield in the snow, laughing at all the other fans travelling to cancelled games, and us winning 3-1
8 Sit silently in the Home End at Ashton Gate as we win 1-0
9 Watch cricket in Burnley in the sunshine.
10 Share my dad's love of his home-town club

I would never have danced on the pitch at Withdean and hugged Dick Knight after beating all the odds against Swindon.

 

[geoffreyp]

i'd never have had to break up a fight on the way home from Rochdale between my mate and a rather drunk Willie irvine.Kenny Beamish helped as well! 71-72 i recall

 

[GNF on Tour]

I'd never been able to throw the ball violently back at Graeme Souness from the East Terrace in the Div 1 years and get a good kicking from my dad for doing so.

 

[Braders]

4 Get my picture on the back page of the Guardian, sat on the terraces at York looking miserable BEFORE we lost!
