I’ve got lots of games that I can’t remember. Unfortunately I can’t remember when this started.

Sorry, I forgot what you were asking, would you repeat the question?
Sheffield FC in 1857 - a game of the Professionals versus the Rest.
I can't remember it.
Blimey, time flies!

OK stattos and Sherlocks, here's a poser for you.
I am convinced that the first ever Albion game I saw was a 2-2 draw with Northampton Town at the Goldstone in 1972. Fred Binney was one of the scorers.
However, a certain amount of research since has revealed this can't be right. Either the team is wrong. Or the year. Or the score. Or possibly all of them
I made scribbled notes in a notebook and submitted a match report for a Radio Brighton (as it was then) competition. I didn't win. We stood in front of the West Stand.
Did I dream all this, or have I just allowed the ravages of time to get some of the key facts confused? Or is it all fake news?
All theories welcome

I went to a game at Hereford in 97, but no idea what the score was now.
I genuinely can't remember my first game, or what the score was. It was a Saturday for sure, and it was sometime between January 1966 (when I moved to Lancing) and the end of that season. Think it was Feb or March time. I have looked up the fixtures around that time to get a rough guess, but I still couldn't tell you.

My first home game was Peter Ward’s home debut..... think it ended 1-1.

Fred Binney didn't play for Albion until 1974.
Northampton Town were not in the same league as Albion in 1972.

Excellent - now we're getting somewhere
I'm pretty sure the score was 2-2. And Binney, I think, did score.
Any suggestions for a game which works with those factors?
Otherwise I'm back to square one.
