When I started supporting the club nearly 40 years ago we were 3rd in Division 2, now we're in first place we've moved up two places

Thanks for posting that pb21. Every Albion fan should study this to understand where we've come from. The graph illustrates just how much time we've spent in the lower tiers, which makes our recent years' performances even more impressive in context. The rise (and occasional fall) since 1997 is mind boggling. It is very hard to convey the magnitude of the Albion's Withdean and Amex-era achievements to anyone unfamiliar with our history. I can recall most seasons since the late 60s and each step up and down on that graph invokes a lot of personal memories.

I thought it was funny. Some people need to get a sense of humour.

Serious hat now, the post of the league table where Stockport are 15 places above us hit home, as in that time I've still got the same job, same wife and same good looks

As someone on the cusp of the dreaded 30's, that graph hammers home that I've been an Albion fan throughout one of the most 'interesting' periods in the club's history.
Bottom division to top, numerous stadiums and a plethora of decent (and bloody awful) managers/players.
Wouldn't change it for the world!
Edit; I'm not sure we can follow the trajectory, there are no more promotions for us to chase...

We can't complain, even the proper shit times, at least it was NEVER dull, imagine supporting a team like (with respect) lpswich or (not as much respect) Leeds who stay in same division for years without much happening

40 years?

Well it's only 1978, the amount of people on here that can re live the Cloughie era, or even the sixties (some even the 50s) is incredible

My first game was in November 1981, about a month before Albion reached their highest-ever league placing of sixth in Division One. It was pretty much downhill for the next 16 years! Culminating, of course, in two successive next-to-bottom finishes in the entire football league.
What a journey.
