Albion 83 x 2, Music It's a kind of magic, and Hell freezes over, Steve Foster's cap vs NI, and many other England games, vs Brazil New Wembley. ELP, Dire Straits Wembley conference (?) venue if that counts...

The old Wembley probably about 30 times. This includes all 3 Albion games there, a lot of England internationals, concerts by Genesis and the Rolling Stones and a marching band competition that Burgess Hill Scout Band were in. Oh, and a League Cup final between Arsenal and Liverpool.

New Wembley just for two England internationals so far.

Not sure, definitely 3 times watching the Albion plus about another 7 or 6 qualifiers and maybe a couple of friendlies (Brazil and Holland I think). I was fortunate to be there to witness the great Geoff Thomas attempt to lob the keeper from distance! All at the old Wembley although I have done the stadium tour of the new one which I would recommend.


edit: forgot about concerts. Saw The Boss on the Born in the USA tour and Madonna on the Rain tour (saw the Albion at Orient earlier in the day).

Never, got invited to a few NFL games there and an England qualifier but I'm determined to make my first time there an Albion based experience.

Recovery Parkrun planned today but spotted friend's son 100m in front on the final 500m. Went flat out and overtook him at 5.04 mile pace. Gave him the obligatory finger only for the whippersnapper to speed up and gain 10m on me over the final 50m. Good fun.

I love that spike in the graph even if it lost.

loved the old place

first time was a schoolboy international 74/75 against Holland we won won 4-0

last time against France (Zidane & Co) lost 0-2

in between,once with the Albion and around a dozen watching England

amazing to think you could watch greyhound racing there

done the tour and walking out of the tunnel was something else as was walking up the steps (39?) to raise a cup with cheering over the PA

never been to the new one and that could be 'a once in a lifetime trip' now

Only saw Albion in 1991 at the old Wembley. I've seen Harlequins play a couple of times at the new one.
