When we beat the Cheats at home to win the Third Div would be one! All the games in the 83 cup final run, not my fault though, I wasn't born then! Bloody parents . . .

The 1991 play-off final. I wasn't going as regularly then as I do now, but I still can't believe I didn't go because my aunt and uncle were coming to visit us that day and I hadn't seen them since Christmas.

The first division (old) game at Forest when Gerry Ryan scored after a few minutes and we ended Forest's 50+ unbeaten home run. We were 12/1 to win that game. Has there ever been longer odds on an Albion win against a team in the same division?
I believe that Forest were camped in our penalty area for 80 mins but couldn't score (sound familiar?)

1983 Cup Final - my dad wouldn't take me.

A different kind of pasty
There's two I really regret not seeing.
Newcastle away in '79 to go up to the 1st division. Dad and brother went but I don't know why I didn't.
First FA Cup final match. Had a ticket but was in the RAF at the time and my Sgt wouldn't let me have the day off - despite me organising someone to cover my shift

2004 Play Off Final due to a foolishly planned holiday in the states.
Having been to 12 away games last season including the play off semi at Swindon I was all the more bitter - Still glad you all had a good time

The away game at Hereford when we stayed up. Spent ages organising people who wanted to go but by the time I had the group together it was sold out. Had to listen on the radio which was an absolute nightmare.
Two. The last game of the 78/79 season in Newcastle - I didn't go as I had a hot date that evening. I missed the promotion party and the evening was a complete washout.
And the game against Hereford. I was best man at a wedding and couldn't go. Ended up listening to it on the radio.

The Hereford game for me aswell. My brother went, but back then I was a bit more of a part time supporter. Looking back I can't believe I didn't take up the opportunity to go.

Hereford game, All my mates went and they had a ticket but I just couldn't get out of some prior commitments, in the end a mates bird went who'd never been to an albion game before, and I had to listen on the radio.
Three games:
1983 Cup Final - working in Jersey, impossible to either get a ticket or get back
Hereford - Family stuff
2004 Play-off final - on holiday

The first game at the Withdean. I had season tickets for the Goldstone and only missed one game at Gillingham but irrationally hate Withdean so much I hardly bother going there.
The play-off semi-final which was nerve-wracking in the extreme, sat at home listening on the radio with several large vodkas for the penalties.
And finally the play-off clincher against Millwall in 1991. I had moved away from home and my Dad was no longer with us so I stopped going. The play-off final started me going again and I haven't looked back.
