Don't remember exactly when, but my dad took me to an Albion/Chelsea match in the mid-70s, guessing around 74. The one and only time I sat in the South stand, and the only time my dad took me to a game. For some reason, even though he was a sports fan and a PE teacher, he never wanted to go to games (also, he ran a business open on Saturdays, so could not have gone anyway).

My first game was 17 January 1970.

I've voted 70s, as that's what most would allocate that date to, though being a nerd I'd say it was the 60s, as a decade is from year 1 - 10 (the first decade not having started with a year 0). It was also the 69/70 season, so another reason I might have ticked the wrong box!

1960's - QPR in Dec 1967. They had an audacious young talent at the time called Rodney Marsh.

Saw Brighton v Sunderland in 1987.

Might have seen us v Bournemouth, Northampton or Palace before that, will have to do some research.

1960s. 1966 to be precise, sometime after Christmas but before the World Cup. The incredible thing is I went with some schoolfriends, no adults. Can you imagine a small group of 8 and 9 year old boys nowadays going on a train to a football match unsupervised? They'd be in care before the final whistle and the parents would get dogs abuse.
