IF we get to Wembley will it be the biggest game in Albion's history?

I can't see any game ever replacing Hereford away as the "biggest", in the sense of so much hinging on the result. Had we lost that, an eternity in the wilderness or worse would have been our fate. If we lose in the play offs this year, we will still have a great chance of going up next year.

Hereford could easily have been the LAST game in Albion's history.
Whatever happens over the next month ... there's next season.

Is absolutely the correct answer, however, it will be the one with the richest reward ever

Hereford. Always. Anyone that votes for t'other, wasn't at Hereford or even aware of our plight.

I thought about adding that but although it was a fantastic couple of days out I didn't think it was bigger as a one (two) off game in it's consequences, than Hereford or a potential play off final. In retrospect maybe I should have added it.
We were already relegated and I'm not sure it had any impact on what happened afterwards.

If we had lost at Hereford I think the club would have folded soon after.
It would be no bigger than Blackpool in 78 or Newcastle in 79. Or Notts County or the cup finals. The cup final was a massive event in the 80s - winning it was almost as big as winning the league.
But obviously, Hereford will always be biggest, and I suppose the Doncaster game before it wasn't far behind (in hindsight).

Given the money involved and the potential to lose both our manager and better players if we don't go up, I think it is a bigger game than the last time we got to the top division or when we failed against Notts County. There really is no guarantee we'll do better in this division next season. We are riding the crest of a wave that COULD make us a mid table Premier League team or maybe even better in the next couple of years.

Losing at Hereford could have sent the club into oblivion. If we had lost, it is likely we would not have had a club to support at Wembley.

Winning at Wembley will be amazing and mega financially - but without Hereford we would not be having this discussion.
Even if the club still existed after being plunged into non-league with no ground, it's hard to imagine there'd ever have been The Amex or a chance to get into the Premier League. So it has to be Hereford. If we lose in the play-offs, we're still in a brilliant place overall.

Losing against Hereford could very well have killed the club. Losing at Wembley will be devastating but we will always have next year.
