Over the border in Southwick
I am trying to recall my first two Albion games which was over Easter late 60s/early 70s at the Goldstone. Might have been Barrow or Blackpool & another Northern team.

Is there a book or anywhere on the net where I could search?

Thanks,

Try Seagulls! by Tim Carder and Roger Harris.

Was it definitely Easter? Could have been 1969 - April 4 Orient 2-0 and April 5 Barnsley 4-1. Barrow was a couple of weeks earlier, also 4-1, and my second game!

Other Easters don't seem to tie up with home games, except for 1971 - April 9 Aston Villa 1-0 and April 10 Reading 2-0.

Definitely over Easter; it was either the Good Friday or the Saturday & the Monday.

Strangely, the dates listed are consecutive days, but I don't know what days of the week. Looks like you had good luck, though!
