    [Misc] Memories- How A Lot Of What We Remember Is Remarkable- But Often Untrue.

    Yeah, see Post 40. It looks like it was a fairly full Leazes End (capacity 5,000) and others in the seats. So 5,000 was about right as reported at the time. Not sure how Sunderland got their 12,000 in :ROFLMAO:

    Oh yes, there would have been Albion in seats. I think it's a wider reference. But the take away is how memories are so distorted and easily influenced by external factors. It was obviously and amazing day (I love to here folk's stories) and there were around 5,000 Albion fans present on the...

    For me the biggest Albion delusion, and one which I have often been slated for because I wasn't there, is the below truth. There were 10,000 Albion fans present at Newcastle in May 1979. This is false. There were around 5,000 and possibly slightly less than that. So why do folk, including...

    A boring Saturday evening tipple thread by a teetotaler… Memories v Facts On Easter Monday 1976 I stood on Hassocks station, aged 7, and heard that Albion were trailing 2-0 against Millwall. I distinctly remember it. I remember asking my Mum what trailing meant and she explained. It is a very...
