The Jack Stephenson Effect.Following a conversation outside The Albert on Saturday I've upgraded to premium Futbology and started logging games from the past. It won't be 100% accurate as Mrs GB insisted that some of my older programmes didn't move house when we did but I'm doing ok by memory. It's amazing how little memories are triggered as you go through. Some of them football related:
That's the night Palace lost 9-0 (Wolves away) or
That's the day Kelvin Morton gave 5 penalties (Palace away).
But many not. e.g.
That's when that lad from Eastbourne puked all down the terraces (West Brom)
That's when Krispies held up a marrow and started singing On Ilkley Moor B'aht 'at (Barnsley)
That's when we told the Old Bill we were going shopping (Pompey)
That's when I slept in a luggage rack (Swindon)
I'm sure there'll be more.
This is my answer too. Otherwise I would be going nuts now in how much I have spent on the Albion over the years, it must be almost a pension, think of the compounded interest lost.Only in my brain.
You never went to Gillingham when it was our home ground? I don’t believe that!Yep. Started handwriting it in 1987 and then migrated it to an XL spreadsheet about 10 years ago.
It logs all manner of stuff on these tabs:

My family has a link to Spurs, hence a few games watched in North London.
And a few England games.
I started one for my son which I hope he will take over soon. He’s up to 300 games and just turned 21.
It says Priestfield above?You never went to Gillingham when it was our home ground? I don’t believe that!
It says Priestfield above?
Only 7 times though as had work/freedom issues at the time!
Good spot! I shall amend!Fair enough but not as a Brighton ground on your list
I do this via Concert Archives app and now log every game I go to via The 92 app.Nope. Would be infinitely more interesting to log every gig I ever went to. Tho failed to do that also
If your sons attended up to 300 games then he has done more than Murray has with the Albion, and he hasn't gone up the road to Crystal Palace.Yep. Started handwriting it in 1987 and then migrated it to an XL spreadsheet about 10 years ago.
