Some people felt relief, you felt joy. You are right I could have phrased my reply better, they are both feelings, but nosomuch in reference to 'end of thread' as other people enjoyed recounting occasions where the emotion was different.

Nope. That is an opinion. As someone else said, they felt more relief than anything. You may have felt unbridled joy but this thread is about feeling and we are not all wired the same.

This is a great post but I think you have forgotten which decade we are in!

I am sure you are far from alone in citing that feeling. My kids had never experienced Albion being a 'big' club before and people of my generation and before who had, only had fleeting glimpses over the years after our relegation and cup final in 83, ie Liverpool in the cup, the Wembley...

I guess you learned quickly what being an Albion fan *used* to be about.

Walton and Hersham? Or the goalie and a particular performance?

I was talking to GCCM Junior and Junior 2 this evening, and considering the best moments watching Brighton over the years. I have been a fan since the early 70's and they've been going with me since the mid noughties. For me, I love the memories of Peter Ward who it seemed engendered a frisson...
