What were you doing 15 years ago today?

[Rugrat]

Living very nicely in California, great life, home and job ......... then the (ex) Mrs went and fecked it all up, or rather I did seemingly

 

[jamesy's]

I was on that bus, we had to wait for a replacement at Boxhill. The party at Newbury afterwards was something else.

I too was on that coach, and if remember correctly we had a camera crew with us. Does someone know of the were abouts of the video?

 

[Seagulls4life]

Probably doing whatever a 2 year old would do.

 

[LukeOwen]

I was a 1 year old

 

[Surrey_Albion]

I also remeber being scared witless as a huge group of welsh mentalists smashed up a coach on the duel carriage way, that was about two hours before kick off!!!

 

[Max Paper]

I was 18 years old and doing deliveries in my dad's van that afternoon, I remember it like it was yesterday, I listend to it on the radio all afternoon. So tense.

 

[somerset]

I think I was just contemplating the next 13 years of Labour government and economic mismanagement....

 

[bhafc99]

Right now, I'd be on the Gulls Eye coach to Hereford.

We stopped at a pub, and sat in the garden cheering any Brighton cars that passed by. Then someone put porn on the coach video, which seemed just... inappropriate, really, for the mood of the day. Picked up some folk whose car had broken down near Hereford. Got to the ground and managed to smuggle a smoke grenade in down my trousers, which was then used to greet the teams.

And then watched a nice game of football.

 

[somerset]

I was also ticket less in Hereford, in a pub, keeping a low profile, whilst getting the TV updates and local radio commentary via the landlord.

 

[Fungus]

1998 I had no chance of getting a ticket so we were glued to the TV that afternoon. Dreaded to think what would have happened if we had lost.

Yes, I hear all the tickets had sold out by 1998.

 

[madinthehead]

Sitting in a pub in Bath.. Keeping a constant eye on the telly for the football scores...

 

[daveinprague]

Now I realise its the Hereford game, I was sitting in the FrameRelay section of IBM in Zoetermeer in Holland with an Aston Villa fan who kept saying all afternoon....I have no idea what you must be going through....

 

[Winker]

It was my 40th Birthday, getting ready to party!

 

[5mins-from-amex]

coming up with another excuse for not doing my homework.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

about this time on that day I think I'd just got off a coach to visit a pub.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

On the way with two other chums.

Into the Hereford end we went, no way was I gonna miss that. It was hard keeping quiet.

 

[Bold Seagull]

I was genuinely celebrating Labour's victory and getting caught up in the whole excitement of it all back in May 1997...

 

[bhafc99]

And don't forget Katrina & the Waves won Eurovision that night too. It truly was a momentous day.

 

[itszamora]

I was 11, and whilst I had yet to be formally introduced to the Albion, I do remember watching a report on the game on TV. I don't think I fully appreciated the gravity of it all, though.

 

[Vicar!]

At this very moment, in bed in my luxury hotel in Chicago.
