[Albion] Any “I was on match of the day at the Amex” stories?

[HeaviestTed]

I’ll start:

My son was ill so I took my daughter and we were sat near the tunnel, when the players came out some fella in a massive yellow coat stood up in front of me to video the players coming out of the tunnel. On match of the day you could see the man in the coat, then my daughter and then an empty seat. When my wife saw it she asked “where the f?£k were you?” I obviously said I was in the bar.

So this is actually an ‘I wasn’t on Match of the Day at the Amex’ thread.

Ernest was probably on MotD in a big yellow coat and will start a thread about it soon.

 

[pasty]

Being in row V of WSU I’m highly unlikely to ever be seen on MotD

How about mine? I was seen clapping the players off after the Man City semi final. And I can be seen on the ITV coverage of the away Millwall Play Off semi final.

Also, I was ball boy when MotD came to town but they just showed the goal at the South End when I was in front of the North. I have loads of stories about not being on MotD at the Amex

There’s a great shot on the Withdean Years DVD of Hammond & a few players celebrating staying up in a huddle with one imposter who had been very quick to invade the pitch… Ipswich game.

I was on MOTD away at Stoke - just before a shot from Izzy hit me in the face

How sad am I? I watch again all the away games on MOTD and freeze the picture on the crowd, working out where I am in amongst 2999 others.
On a different angle to this, row V in East Upper and for 10 years I've clapped and sung to the Fan Zone and never ever ever has the pitchside camera picked me up. It's now become a joke amongst all around me.

I'm in this screenshot from MOTD in February against Bournemouth.

Do you clap JCL style or like someone who has arthritis, like me

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

I was on look northwest when I lived in Manchester, as they showed the highlights when Stockport thumped us at their place. I could be seen, throwing my arms about in frustration as 6ft 7“ Kevin Francis bundled in their fourth.

does that count.

Is this a bit like Where’s Wally?

It's easy. Just look for the one in blue and white stripes

I was in the front of the lower west stand close to the South West corner and can be seen celebrating our first premier league goal by Pascal Gross.

 

[nsclurker]

We're front row East Lower, opposite the away bench, so get to see ourselves in most games, but have shown up on a few aways - most notably Saints away last Boxing Day. Tall, fat, bloke in a yellow away shirt - not hard to spot!

 

[Icy Gull]

Not at the Amex but we arrived early for the first game at Gillingham and made the back page of the Argus with just five of us in the Gordon Road stand. I have no idea why they didn’t wait for the other 20 to show up before taking the photo

I haven't been shown on fan zone either. Mind you that's normally my cue to go for a pre match piss.

 

[Timbo]

Me and my son were on at home at the final whistle against City just after lockdown. Still pop up quite a bit even now!

 

[Is it PotG?]

Had a nice close up at 'Wall in the Cup a few years back.
