Which season would you like to see again ?

A glutton for punishment perhaps but I'd like to experience 96/97 once more purely for the surge of home wins with Gritt, the last game at the Goldstone and away to Hereford!

I really enjoyed 90/91 season. Ok it ended with defeat at Wembley but was a good ride. Two games against Liverpool, the then best team in England, the last gasp free kick from Wilkins against Ipswich to send us into the playoffs, two beatings of Millwall and a day out to Wembley.

Think we also had a semi final game against Palace in the Zenith Data Systems that went to extra time as well, remember the Goldstone being rammed for that one.

That season was class. Liverpool and Millwall at home were brilliant and a whole season of Small and Byrne. My main memories were Garry Nelson getting two late goals against West Brom and winning 2-0, and if course Wilkins curling (and I seem to remember) incredibly slow free-kick against Ipswich

76/77

The season we went up with Gary Nelson in the team. Think it was 88

Agree with this -

Purely coz I went to 80% home and away that season and it was brilliant!

Bremner's header against Rovers was a great finale...and the end of season party at the Goldstone.. snuck on to the pitch and had a kick around and scored in the South end and then snogged a bird (a directors daughter) in the dugout. At 16 years old what else could be better!

Season 85/86 for me. Nothing to do with the football but a girl i was seeing who was pure filth

Agree with you - 76/77 was wonderful. We played such uninhibited attacking football. I'd give anything to see that 7-0 against Walsall again.

AND THE 7-2 YORK GAME! IN THE LEAGUE CUP WE KNOCKED OUT IPSWICH 2-1 IN FRONT OF 26,000,THEN WENT ON TO BEAT WBA AWAY BEFORE DRAWING WITH DERBY COUNTY IN FRONT OF 33,500 BEFORE GOING DOWN 2-1 AT THE BASEBALL GROUND,129,000 WATCHED BHA V PALACE THAT SEASON MEETING 5 TIMES,ALBION ONLY LOSING ONE GAME AT HOME ALL SEASON AND GETTING PROMOTED 2 POINTS ABOVE THE PALACE,THE SEASON HAD IT ALL

I'm not sure I've felt any better as an Albion fan than just 3 years ago, during - and particularly at the end of - the 2010/11 season.

1) We weren't just the best, we were by far the best in that league. We bloody walked it. No, we didn't really bother in the last 4 games but that doesn't matter in the slightest.
2) The Amex was about to arrive. We could watch it being built - hell, we could (and did) even watch the grass grow via a bloody webcam.
3) The imminent impact of the Amex meant even going to the Withdean didn't depress as much.
4) Some ruddy brilliant matches (though this could apply to most seasons). That 4-3 v Carlisle, that other 4-3 v Dagenham to secure promotion, 5-0 v Orient, 4-0 at Charlton, 3-0 at Peterborough, 3-1 v Pompey in the cup.
5) March 2011. Win Win Win Win Win Win Win Win - surely the best month ever for the Albion?
6) Watching the tika-taka, pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass football style.

Disclaimer, before anyone calls me a JCL for picking something so recent - I only started watching the Albion regularly in 2000, so no I can't really pick any year before then. But it still blows out of the water any of the 3 other promotion seasons since the turn of the century...

What was great about that season was even when we played awful we still found a win. Memorable away games at Exeter, Brentford and Dagenham. I'll miss away games like that which is exactly why I'm off to Yeovil
