Crystal Palace 1 Albion 1 (Ward) 05/04/80.
I remember that this was actually my first match, (I can't actually remember when my first match at the Goldstone was) and for some reason we were in the palace section, down the side of the pitch.
I was taken by my uncle, and his mate and mates dad. As we were in the palace end I was told to keep my mouth shut, which I managed to do until on the was out after the match, when I said that I didn't think much of their programme!

Same game for me. I think David Kemp, ex Palace, scored the winner. We wore green shirts I think [emoji848]

People were literallly "hanging from the rafters". I recall the crush. Dad put me down the front only to be rammed against the fence after the multiple "kop style" surges..

WBA 1-0 Albion
Must have been 88ish. Lost the game, England lost at the rugby, we got soaked and then coined at Rolf Street station.
Happy days.

A different kind of pasty
Genuinely haven't got a scooby. One of the earliest I can recall is being at Aldershot sometime in the mid 70's when it kicked off all over the place. Scared the whotsit out of me as I would only have been 10 or 11 at the time.

Mansfield Town, 1999 (I think) by train. Loads of police with fluffy dogs at Nottingham, they tried to pack all the BHA supporters straight on a train out to Mansfield but we managed to dodge them and went for a few pints near the station. Mansfield weren't very friendly, found the whole day very exciting and got hooked for several (expensive) years
I really can't remember when but it was Cardiff - their old ground. It was rough !!! Never had so many coins thrown at me !

Discounting our stint at Gillingham, I think I went to a cup game at Spurs, probably 1982 or 3, I went to Highbury for the cup semi 1983. I went to the p/o finals at Wembley 1991, and 2003 ... and that's it, I think. No interest, really, apart from that.

Other than the play off final in 1991.
Brentford Mar 1994, drew 1-1. Away end was absolutely packed.
Cracking day out.

The best goal I've ever seen.
March 3 1974, Aldershot. A 1-0 win. 
1979 I think. Fulham with a 1-0 win. Behind the goal with no roof and could see the Thames.
