I wasn't there

My memory may be playing tricks Buzzer, but I thought Calde scored in the 2-1 away win at Charlton in the previous season - an evening game it was. Unfortunately going against the title of this thread, I was there.

Ah, was it? I knew he scored against Charlton for his first goal and thought it must be that.

I was working up in London for the day, knowing I had plenty of time to get back for the Brighton Leeds game 2015/16.

But thanks to Southern Rail I missed the first half!

And 4 goals!

The second half looked like a training game.

Working for Sky shoving satelite dishes up. I know exactly were I was though when 'that' goal went in as I was sat in the van for two hours listening to the radio outside a house in Woodingdean.

Also, to be pedantic, it was Peterborough 0 Albion 3.

As for me, since I have been actively supporting the Albion I think the only major milestone I have not attended would be the 1990-1991 Play-Off 2nd Leg at Millwall.

Albion & England forever.

Missed Newcastle, in Paris on a French exchange trip. (Although to be fair at 14 I doubt I could have gone anyway)

Despite being quite a regular at the Goldstone for a few years by then, for one reason or another, the first FA Cup game I got to in 1983 was ..... the FA Cup Final REPLAY. So take your pick of the "I wasn't there" moments along that particular journey. And before anyone points it out, yes, I'm perfectly aware of the bad luck charm I appeared to be in that run.
