It's an unwritten law that your first Albion game is complete crap. It's a cunning plan to sort out the right sort of fans. Normal people would say sod that for a game of soldiers, I'm not going there again. The sort of person who is a potential seagull fan is someone who says well, this can only get better.

Commander's first game was a God-awful 0-0 draw, I was almost embarrassed to have taken him.

Exception to the rule here, my first game was Malcolm Allison's 3rd division Crystal Palace high flyers 0 Albion 2. Harry Wilson had about to be picked for England Peter Taylor, in his pocket that day.

Yet to be beaten in my Albion following days 33k crowd that night.

I was at both. Went to practically all games when a teenager, then became a part-time attendee as life got in the way. Back full-time at Amex.

So to calculate the number who went to both are we going to wait for all the " I went to both " responses and add them up. It could take some time guys.

Anyway I reckon 4996

That surprises me because when you're on The Albion Roar you sound as if you're in your fifties.

For the record, I'd probably done at least 20 aways by then.
