[Albion] How Many Albion Games Have You Seen?
- Thread starter el punal
- Start date
Since 1997 - around 500 I would say.
The one thing I really regret (and I'm not saying we won't ever be back there) is not going to more
away matches when we were in the lower leagues. I've had some of the best days out in Kidderminster, Shrewsbury,
Doncaster for example. Work often intervened, but I regret not taking more opportunities to visit away grounds
and learn more about the towns. I find it is a great ice-breaker when you meet people and can say you
visited the town/city etc. Not quite the same in the PL. Oh well. It' a small price to pay for where we are.

Its amazing how quickly they rack up, I'm a full JCL so first game was Southampton at home in 2012, got the taste and got my ST when the ESU opened and had one ever since.
An educated guess would be close to 175, missing a couple of league games a season because of work, adding a couple of away games a season and cup games added to the mix as well.

1,156. give or take the odd 5 that I may have missed, overstated.
As a teenager in the 80's I religiously recorded those I went to with stats and all sorts, but now that has drifted but still have a rough count in my mind. Didn't miss any last season until lockdown. Would have been the first season I'd gone to every one I think, home and away I think, damn you Covid-19.

Number of games makes no difference to how avid a fan you are. When you have the bug, you have the bug. But no excuse for not sorting out the timing of your trips to the UK to coincide with footy. Score: B- could do better

Between 500 to 1000 that is a rough estimate but just to get a response from Mouldy Boots......10 more than he has attended!
Absolutely. Didn't fully appreciate it at the time, and it does mean you get the odd 0-0 in Milton Keynes (ugh).
There is something special about lower league aways, that feel an absolute world away from the Prem. In a good way.

I'm similar, some of the best times were travelling to those league two and league grounds. I've done 72 of the 92 now. And the majority of those missing are Northern teams in league two. At some stage I plan to do them gradually over a few seasons but it's unlikely (I hope!) for Brighton games.

How Many Albion Games Have I Seen? Loads. Maybe 349, maybe 439. Who knows? If I knew that kind of stuff I'd really have to start re-evaluating my life a tad. Might as well ask How Many Pubs Have You Been To? To which the answer is 768

North of a 1000 I'd guess but that's what it a guess. Who'd keep count? Been going since the late 60's been going away since the late 70's not so much now, three short of the 92 which I do keep track of but been that way for years now...

Around 900 give or take. As [MENTION=205]Tom Hark, Preston Park[/MENTION] stated, it's not the kind of thing one can know or be accurate about over a large period of time, which for me started as a 5 year old on the chicken run in 1972.

First game was when Clough was in charge but didn't go regularly until 76/77. Since then have probably missed on average about 2 home games a season. Used to go to about a third of away games but in the EPL have done more. Guessing it will be in the region of 1200. Frightening waste of money!!!!
