Not a lot going football-wise so a little quiz for you Albion stattos everywhere, this is based on attendances so here goes :

1. 36,747 largest home attendance (Goldstone) against Fulham, what year?

2. 119,113 was the total attendance for three consecutive F.A. Cup games that the Albion played in. Name the opponents (it was NOT 1983).

3. In which season did the Albion exceed gates of 30,000 in 4 home league matches?

4. 33,601 was the highest League Cup home attendance, against who?

5. 33,119 was the largest home crowd against that mob up the road. What was the result?

6. 20,219 - THAT glorious day. Opponents?

7. 30,003 - the biggest crowd at the Amex so far, who was the opposition manager on the day?

8. 22,229 was the biggest home attendance for an Albion RESERVE game (the reason was the chance to buy an FA Cup ticket against glamour opponents). Who were the teams involved (reserve team and glamour cup team)?

9. 5,882 - Football's coming home! Albion's first league game at Withdean . . . against?

10. 30,750 - what's the significance?

There you go, best of luck and I'll post the answers later.

Change 7 to Dean Saunders and I reckon he's right, although all official Albion stats show number 4 as 33,500.

Barring Play Off Finals what is the biggest league crowd to watch the Albion ?
and
what is the largest AWAY League Cup crowd to watch the Albion?

Complete guess here - could be away to Spurs Oct/Nov 1977, 48,000+ in the old Div.2 league fixture. The away League Cup crowd - Man. Utd replay (after 1-1 at the Goldstone) 1991?
