I was there at Wembley for the Cup final,and Highbury for the semi.
I was there at Cardiff for the playoff final.
I was there for Both Doncaster games and Spurs at Falmer.
I was there for Fans United and York City.
I was there for the Arsenal game when we played our first Top Level game.I was there for our last.
There have been plenty more including Wards debut at Hereford.

But,for me,my most significant "I was there" moment was Mansfield Town.Being there for the boycott and also there when the gates got kicked in and we took back our club from the scum. Nigel Erskine walking across the pitch (followed by many braver than me) to occupy the Directors box is my greatest I was there Albion moment.

What is yours?

Hereford 97.

As far as I am concerned, still the most important game in the Albion's history.

All understandable,I missed Hereford away,bottle job because they were selling seating tickets to anyone weeks before, but I could not face it.I decorated the hall that day to keep my mind off of it and remember getting more and more convinced(at 1 down)that it was going to be o/k.

There have been quite a few amazing days following the Albion but I would have to say the best is the first game at the amex when Buckley was just about to pull the trigger. It was the culmination of all the letters, marches, protests, everything that we had done in the last 14 years and for me, everything stopped, it seemed to be completely silent in the ground and then the eruption of 22k people going completely mental. I don't think I've had a happier moment supporting the Albion.
