which albion game do you wish you'd never missed?

[Rambo]

Has to be Hereford for me.
I was working that day and couldnt get the time off.
Bastards
I have now not worked on a Saturday for 4 years, couldnt stand it any longer so changed jobs.

 

[Kent Seagull]

Newcastle away 1979. I would love to have been there and in those days I went to most away games. I also ran a mobile disco back then and a long standing wedding booking had to take precedence. Always regretted missing it though.

 

[poke]

all the games at the Goldstone

yeah me too

 

[Italiaseagull]

Beating Villa in the Charity shield! Wish I'd been there for that one.

 

[Icy Gull]

Can I just gloat and say I saw ALL the games you're talking about except the Chester and Villa in the Charity Shield ( couldn't get the time off work for that one)

 

[Deleted User X18H]

the 4-4 with b-orient at home had a family wedding and they are seperated now what waste of my f*cking time

 

[Storer68]

Blimey, there's loads

Liverpool away in the 83 Cup run. Played on a Sunday and couldn't get up there.........


Hereford (a) in 97 - had chicken pox that week (of all the times to get it)

Newcastle (a) in 79 - parents wouldn't let me go to away games on my own - too dangerous

jimmy case's testimonial v Southampton - locked out of the ground.

Man Utd at home in 92 (Beckham's debut) - strangely arranged a holiday............ well we;re always crap in the League Cup

Sunderland away in 1981 - Gary Williams goal

 

[MRRF 10]

all the goldstone ones and all the playoff games

 

[sully]

The Chesterfield championship decider was the worst for me.

The only reason I didn't have a ticket was because I was on holiday on the original date - it was re-arranged, remember. Went to the cinema instead, as I couldn't face an evening with the radio.

Second has to be Hereford. I didn't manage any games that season, though, so it didn't feel as bad at the time. The emotion of listening on the radio in the back garden made my mind up that I wasn't EVER going to have another blank season, though - so no more kids!!

 

[Safeway]

build a bridge, and GET OVER IT DAN!

SOMEONE'S been watching too many American 'comedies' with the missus.

I will always regret not going to the first Fans United.

 

[Donny Osmond]

Herford away - not a regular away follower back then.
First fans united - Didn't know it was happenig

 

[Ernest]

I've never missed any of these games as I'm a real supporter unlike most of the plastic lightweight 'Oh it's raining tonight so I'm not going' gloryhunting fairweather fans (if you can call them that) here

 

[Jambo Seagull]

Semi-final of the cup run in '83. I had been ill and was recuperating at my aunties. Everyone else in my immediate family went to the game. I also regret not getting to one more game at the Goldstone before it was gone.

 

[Easy 10]

If I had a time machine, I'd go back to the match at Newcastle in 79' (at the time, I was only 7 and couldn't give a toss about football back then). To see the Albion clinch promotion to the top flight of English football for the first time in their history - wow, that must have been simply amazing.

For those people regretting missing the Playoff Final in 91' - that match is such a painful memory I just can't imagine why ANYONE would want to have been there, knowing how it turned out.

 

[Set of Tracksuits]

of those that i could have realistically gone to (too young for newcastle in '79 and '83 cup run) it would have to be the last game of the season against ipswich in 1991. this was due to being forced to go on a school trip to dorset to look at frogspawn, bird poo and such like.

other than that i think i've been present at just about every crucial or history-making match we've played in recent times.

Wholeheartedly agree on that one, it was a truly awful day. I still haven't completely forgiven tommy johnson for making me cry all the way home on possibly the slowest supporters coach in history.

 

[Curious Orange]

Last game at the Goldstone, I was a poor student in South Wales at the time and couldn't afford the train fare home...

Bit harsh - don't you think we'd all love to go to every game if money/work/etc permitted?
My dad went home and away for about 20 years. He lives in France now gets to a couple of games a season but i'd hardly call him a fairweather fan!

 

[Albion Edd]

Fans United against Hartlepool, I was only about 9 then and my dad was doing something else that day
