Special supporters..?

[AmexRuislip]

Have been looking through old Albion programs, and saw this report in the 1983 v Norwich edition, on 'special supporters', by Stephen Rooke.
Just intrigued to see if Peter Deacon, Linda Nardizzi, Paul Stonehouse, Mark Lauderdale, Michael Kemsley, John Soat, Trevor Godden, Nigel Black, Tony Clark and Stephen Wimble who are all mentioned, are on NSC?
There are others I have not mentioned, I guess maybe in Albion heaven

That was my first ever Albion game.

Those were the days.......a programme with action shots of players and backgrounds......for 5 seasons now we have had a player or a picture of a players face on the cover,one wonders when's the format going to change...

50p as opposed to £3.50 now..which got me thinking,when i first started going in 1988 it was £1.50 to get in...

Brilliant time to start watching! Your timing was impeccable!

Glory hunting JCL springs to mind,it's not as if he did what i did,watch Aldershot at home in DIV3 in front of 9,000 and thinking i will be back,2nd game 26,000 vs Arsenal in the FAC....nope,glory hunter....

Indeed. My introduction to the North Stand and that was it. I was hooked from then on.

Can't argue with that.

I am not envious in any way at all............... honest

A special introduction to the surge, after we had scored, then trying not to be cut in two on the metal railings.
Welcome to the North Stand.

Welcome to the North Stand.

As I was typing, I was going to mention "The North Stand Sway" but I then thought it might not have been known by that. Maybe I'm just having a senior moment.

Hang on a minute, Norwich had half the North Stand meaning regulars like me got stuck in the north west while some JCL was taking my place! You owe me a pint

Can't argue with that.

My first season was 76/77. Possibly the very best season to start supporting the club.

Don't ask me how we ended up there but I went with a group of mates who managed to get me in.

Curiously, my first ever game was against Aldershot at the Goldstone. Boxing day 1973. We lost 1 nil and I was smitten.

The plus side was we got on the pitch at the end, the north stand didn't!
