[Albion] Stand or Fall

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

I enjoyed it but felt some notable names were left out who played big parts in the fight. Maybe they didn’t want to be mentioned.
I cried, I laughed and I remembered.

Who?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Who?

Tim Carder, Ed Bassford, Liz Costa.

 

[The Clamp]

Yeah. Tickets to screenings available on the club website.

Thank you

Tim Carder, Ed Bassford, Liz Costa.

Strange, they are greats. Especially odd re: Tim Carder given he's still on the scene. Does anyone know how Liz is these days?

I saw her a couple of weeks ago in Lancing. She’s doing ok for a woman in her 80s.
I did spot Sarah in the film but felt they left a glaring gap especially when talking about the two years at Gillingham, and the bus.
There was also the battle to allow us to play at Withdean.

Can't wait to watch it on TNT.

Hard to cram nearly 30 years into an hour and 45 mins. Wish it had been longer or split into episodes so things could have been covered in more detail.

My opinion, they could’ve skipped the Hyypia section.

Sometimes I wish I could erase that from my memory. The film did make me realise I no longer think I hate Potter.

Liz is ok, she attended a match at the end of last season , she won’t be attending regularly anymore ( she never got over Sarah ) but she’s spending time with the grandkids etc

Really....when was this announced?

When he appeared, I turned to my mate and whispered “I’d forgotten about him”. And I had.

Denial can be a powerful ally.

The film is excellent. Time constraints do mean that some elements of the story and those involved are glossed over, but for me it really communicated the struggle very well. It is an emotional film and very moving in parts. Essential viewing for any Albion fan and highly recommended for neutrals.

Out of curiosity, was it discussed/mentioned by anyone present what the delay was in actually finally releasing it?

 

[jimhigham]

Was surprised to only find one comment from @attila but when it came, by jingo, he was spot on. I’ve always felt it’s impossible to top that afternoon in Hereford. At the time, we didn’t know it would be another 14 years of hard slog. Right then, we’d been through the mother of all battles and made it out the other side. I simply cannot imagine feeling such pure, unconfined, unconditional joy as I did in that instant.

The desire to splice in the European Tour I would assume. 1997 - 2022 would have been a neat (and compelling) 25 years, but once we started threatening Europe, well...you can't leave that out can you ?

Appetite truly whetted. Roll on Sunday.
