Pretty much exactly the same experience. Remember seeing the illiterate graffiti (we hat palace) and feeling the uneasy volatile atmosphere with a definite contingent of troublemakers who weren’t Albion…

Brilliant! They both come across as very genuine characters

Someone on this thread recommended TGI pizzas from Iceland…

Fun fact - Mat Ryan is apparently an inch taller than Mark Ormerod, from Wikipedia the source of all truth. Funny, as I remember Ormerod to be a tall keeper… but maybe time deceives me…

I remember being very envious of the Brighton end going wild when we scored and at FT. We never made it across - you must have got over to the other side before the line of riot police formed

I was in their family stand over the other side. Plenty of Brighton fans appeared when we scored. I distinctly remember a couple of hard-as-nails Albion fans getting booted out of their equivalent of the north stand before kick off… they took a bit of a beating after revealing their Albion colours

I was also in Hereford seats. We keep quiet until Reinelt scored and my friend’s dad forgot where he was and celebrated wildly. The whole one-on-one & Ormerod save was in slow motion. Our league status flashing before my eyes!

You can borrow my car… (It got written off whilst we were on holiday)

@sneakygeorgeparris how was the experience going on the official pod?

Here’s Dave talking about the book on the official podcast with Glenn and Paul Also available on the official App. Great stuff!

Ooof Lamptey in goal would be a shambles!

The searing light the sun and everything else. Jon Savage on Joy Division & Factory records.

Great post - nailed it

It was pivotal too that Gritt chose a relative rookie as his number one over the more experienced Nicky Rust. Ormerod was solid across the whole run-in (especially at home!)…

Amazing pic! My old NSC username was “Mark Ormerod’s gloves” - there they are in all their glory!
