How many of the BIG games have you been to?

[Gritt23]

5! Hereford 97

Absolutely, that should be there. Not as glamorous as the 4 listed, but cannot be classed as anything but BIG. That makes me 4 out of 5 then.

 

[FamilyGuy]

How many '4 out of 4s' have we got on NSC?

FA Cup Final, Wembley, 1983.

FA Cup Final Replay, Wembley, 1983.

Play-off Final, Wembley, 1991.

Play-off Final, Cardiff, 2004.

All four!

 

[Kumquat]

Only the play-off finals. I was a kid for the fa cup final and replay and my mum said she couldn't afford a ticket, while reminding me to only use one sheet of toilet paper while I wiped my arse, because "we didn't have much money". Bitch.

 

[Albion_Dave]

Only 2 for me. Had tickets for 3 but had my appendix out the day before the cup final.

 

[Triggaaar]

No Hereford?

Fail.

Should be 3/5 for me.

 

[Bozza]

No Hereford?

Fail.

No, and quite intentional - it's the big stadium one-off games I was interested in.

 

[It's_a_gull's_life]

All four - can remember all but wembley replay vividly. For that one I can remember barely nothing.

 

[Triggaaar]

No, and quite intentional - it's the big stadium one-off games I was interested in.

In the words of Elastigirl:

It's not, about, you!


Besides, you didn't mention stadia, you just said Big games

 

[CP 0 3 BHA]

Sufficiently elderly to be a full houser.

Wasn't at Hereford though - in floods of tears at home listening to the updates.

 

[wigman]

All four plus Hereford.

 

[kevo]

All four for me too.

Two defeats and a draw at Wembley. It's time we won one...

 

[Barrow Boy]

Only two from Bozza's list, FA Cup Final & 1991 Play-Off Final, but in my defence I would also add St James's Park 1979 & FA Cup Semi Final Highbury 1983 , which were both pretty big IMO.

 

[pasty]

Do I detect a smidgeon of bitterness after all these years?

Never forgiven the git, and likely never will. Even had someone willing to cover the shift I was due to do on the day but he still wouldn't let me off, and so I missed arguably one of the biggest days in the clubs history. Going to the replay just wasn't same as missing the big day.

 

[kevo]

OK, trivia fans - on the two occasions we reached Wembley what unique feats would we have achieved if we had we won our games?

 

[Tomnorthi]

Too young to have gone to Cardiff? :S

My parents arent Albion fans, couldnt of gone on my own at the age of 10.

Won the cup and got relegated.

Got promoted with a negative goal difference.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

All four. Thought we would lose first Cup Final narrowly ( wrong ) Convinced we would lose replay ( right ) Absolutely confident of beating Notts County ( wrong ) Thought we would lose to Bristol City ( wrong )
On that basis ( and given my normal negativity ) if we make Wembley, I will confidently predict a defeat. Given my big game success rate ( 25% ) there is a good chance of victory.

 

[Silent Bob]

One, Cardiff.

I suppose I could have been taken to the first playoff final. But I wasn't.

 

[Ernest]

You forgot the 1910 Charity Shield

 

[kevo]

Won the cup and got relegated.

Got promoted with a negative goal difference.

Yeah - that didn't last long!
