What was the first game the Albion played after you were born?

[Hercules Rockerfeller]

I say this because I was looking to buy a mate the first programme after he was born and noticed for me and him it was a 1-0 over none other than Crystal Palace, a great start, been mostly downhill since!

Lost away to Shrewsbury 2 - 0 but we did win Division 3 South that year!

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

Lost at home to Stockport 1-2 later on the day I was born. We were in the fourth tier so the only way was up!

[Smithy]

1-1 draw away to West Ham in August 1981. The season we finished 13th in the top flight.

Finished 7th in the table (6 places above Palace though!)

[Lord Bracknell]

On the day I was born ... Bristol City 1 Brighton & Hove Albion 2. And Newport County stuffed Palace 3-1.

I don't take the Brizzle result as a portent, though. We finished bottom of the league that season.

If that was the 1974-75 season then that was also the first game after I was born and my first ever game as a 2-month old baby on the East terrace (thanks Dad!). Spider Mellor scored the winner I've been told

 

[Gully]

We lost 2-1 at home to Hull on the day I was born, 28 August 1965, which left us bottom of the third division. That was the season that we recorded our record win (10-1) against Wisbech Town in the FA Cup, we also beat Southend 9-1 in the league, so it wasn't all bad after a shaky start to the season.

Thanks for the link to the statto site, that is brilliant!
