We beat Wigan 2-1 (edited), invaded the pitch and sang along with Knocky.

We've stayed up!How did it all go wrong?
Are the only two that were on that promoted side that are still on the team today, Dunk & March?

Definitely 2-1. I can still feel the stress and fear of Wigan getting an equaliser after getting one back with 5 minutes to go

Yep today is my birthday, so the present of promotion the Albion gave me for my 61st birthday was one of the best ever!

My son and I missed the pitch invasion as it is my Dad’s birthday on this date and we had a family dinner to celebrate his 75th birthday to get back for. I told him he wouldn’t miss anything as it had been made clear there would be no pitch invasion etc. so we dashed out on the final whistle to get home.

Glad you posted this, funnily enough I was watching the Football Focus that was at the Amex for our first PL match v Citeh.

A jobsworth steward targeted my son in trying to prevent him running on seconds after final whistle, despite 1,000’s streaming on. A charge from Dad at the back of that particular scrum resolved the situation

What a day, goosebumps even now. I’ve never remembered much about the football, have never watched it back … just the tension, Powell was their best player, Solly The God
.
Other highlights …. incredible mass singing before and at HT in the NS concourse …. so rare since! Knockaert the choirmaster of the Tomor song, that was such a great chant.
Disappointed that I didn’t see the players crowd surfing on the train or the tour of players/fans in West Street …. but that would’ve meant hanging around for endless hours.
