Sorry, my mistake. Just checked. It was turquoise and black stripes. Brady wanted that design apparently as it was inspired by his Juventus days. Apologies.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Can any 80's albion fans help me?

No worries, thanks, Inter Milan style with Sandtex sponsor.
8/8/1986 Gerry Ryan Testimonial - result 4-0 to Spurs.
Season before we had Arsenal and Liverpool and the season after Arsenal. Lost 1-2, 1-4 and then 2-7 to Arsenal! I have only recorded the crowd for the 2-7 defeat to Arsenal and have it as just 4,314!

Absolutely. Looked brilliant. That day was one of the best atmospheres that season. Brady was treated worse than a criminal by those assent strippers in charge then.
Thanks
Thanks
I can remember watching Sol Campbell in a pre season friendly at Goldstone, he was an absolute man mountain and stood out head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch. Not sure of the year but that was an impressive performance.

I remember losing 3-0 to Spurs pre-season in the early 90's - maybe 1992 or 3? Was Mrs KK's first Albion game.
I had to ban her as a Jonah in early 2000's as she had by then still NEVER seen us score or even draw - let alone win. Best result she saw in a decade or so of casual attendance was a 1-0 reverse at Rochdale (Ashley Neale's finest hour...)
The Amex seems to have cured the issue though - Barnesy scored after 90 seconds vs Villareal to break her twenty year goal drought on her first visit, and she celebrated her first ever win on her 2nd visit; vs Cheltenham last week.
I think we'll limit Mrs KK's attendance to pre-season and the Frank Worthington cup for now, but if her record improves further an actual league game may be on the cards.....veremos.

Yep me too, this was the only game I ever went outside the north stand, got a seat at the back of the west stand, not a bad view either

For gods sake, don't let her near the Amex this season of all seasons. Please, I'm begging you. We're ****ed if you do, at the moment there's a glimmer of hope still.

I think I went to that game, and I am sure the programme was just a paper sheet. I have it still at home somewhere, when I get home I will look for it and let you know. If it is that one and you want it as a keepsake you can have it. Will let you know later tonight.

That would be amazing! Thank you very much. I have accumulated hundreds of programmes over the years but the first game you went to is always extra special.

Chill. Only went to the Frank Worthington Cup game to try and ensure we lost and got out of that competition early. Hey ho.No league points will be put @ risk for the entertainment of Mrs KK, I can assure you!
3rd April 1990. That wasn't a 'proper' friendly for us, as it was the 1983 Cup Final team v Tottenham

Thanks for that - it was '94 I was thinking of. So it took the Mrs 19 years to see us score and almost exactly two decades to see us win. On that basis... If she lives to be about 306, she might be there the night we're crowned Champions of Europe then.

Spurs also played some early European game of some sort at the Goldstone in the 90's. No idea why, or does my memory fail me?

Sorry Fozzyboy thanks to Hiney link I can see the one I have is this one. If this is it though your more than welcome to it as it was your first game.
