A special mention to an Albion v Rotherham match way back in 1971-72 in the old Division 3 (our normal habitat back then for 70 years or so) when he played them in our penultimate home game before an electric Goldstone crowd of 27,928 and we nearly blew our chance of being in Division 2 for only the second time ever, until Ken Beamish (record signing at the time) scored in the last minute of injury time 2-1 and the atmosphere went into the stratosphere. It was a false dawn but nobody knew. It was not a defining moment in the Albion history, but tremendously exciting at the time. No play-offs back then and Villa won the Division 3 title and we went up in second place after chasing Bournemouth and Notts County all season for the other promotion position.

Anyone else having trouble running this? I can click on it to get a still frame at any point, so all the data has obviously loaded - it just won't roll though (neither clicking directly or on youtube). Using Internet Explorer, BTW.
Criticism: Match is being played at the Amex and the preview starts with a picture of the New York Stadium which would be more fitting for the away game.

Yes, but isn't it supposed to be spotlight on Rotherham?
It's says pre-view video (of the game) rather than Spotlight on Rotherham. I'm in favour of pre-view threads as stickies. Even a result prediction poll.

Why's only half your thread title displaying, Bozza? I'm using Firefox on XP.

Agreed, this is something I have never seen on any other board and excellent.

I suspect it's the Albion shirt thread icon. Those don't display on the main forum display. I hadn't realised they did on a search (or show new posts as you possibly did there).
I'll take a look at removing them.

Yes, it was the 'show new posts' link. Talking of oddities on NSC, why does it bizarrely say 'WERE LOOSE' on the banner pic?

It's lucky - can't you tell?
I'm glad I didn't change it for 'Wheel Wine' as intended over the Summer.

I see, it's a bit like that 'meat up' thing.
And there was me thinking our success was mainly down to Messrs Bloom and Hughton.
