Seeing Steve Gritt is the guest at the Amex tonight, it would be interesting to know how many current Albion fans actually saw any of the "Great Escape" almost entirely built on our amazing home form at the tail end of that season.

season ticket for possibly the worst football I had ever seen (while Case was in charge) but just the best experience (after Case left)

I don't know how many I saw, more than one but not all of them

Anyone have a list of the games and the results under Gritt that season?

I don't fall into any of those categories, quite. I was an exile, as I was away at Uni, BUT did get to most of the home games, as well as a couple of the away games, including, most importantly, the greatest and worst day of my Albion following. hereford.

Went to the home games and a few away including Hereford.

I also still have the "True Gritt" tshirt which I am tempted to dig out tonight. I wore it for the Donny game at the Amex in homage to one of the men who helped get us there.

Too young, I do remember being in a field for the Herefield game (Camping with family) with my dad and brothers around a radio and all jumping for joy although I new what was going on I wasn't really aware of its significance. I would have been 8.

Brighton factually.....
Went to all the home games coming down from Camden Town every week, all the away that season with some great turn outs by our fans at Fulham and Orient, Cambridge and even Wigan Ath away that year. We had to do our bit that season and it worked.

wow that makes me feel old.... went to all the home games and of course hereford... got home and my GF at the time who had no football knowledge had decorated the flat with congrats and got a load of our friends round for an impromtu survival party - was a nice touch. She binned me that summer lol. Happy days will be great to see Steve Gritt a true ledge... I will be standing and applauding the man!!

Saw most of the home games with Gritt in charge.

I watched the Doncaster game from above the East Terrace, so my last footballing experience inside the ground was a top vs bottom affair against high-flying Wigan, armed with Roberto Martinez and a certain Mr Paul Rogers.

Back when it was £8 to get in and the programme was £1.50.
