What a terrific day I’ve had made all the better for the company of friends both old and new and due also to a brilliant Albion performance.

Walking by the ground just before 12pm I was passed by an elderly gentleman in a leather biker jacket, a good job I recognised Kets as he’d clearly forgotten me!

Anyway, he proved valuable as he knew the “scenic view” along the rail tracks to The Vine.

What a superb pub and atmosphere, my first visit but definitely not my last.

Always fun to be in the company of BaggieAl and his son James, the lad is do good looking I think AL needs to get a paternity test done as it’s an impossibility that he could have fathered him!

If he did, AL’s missus must be a beauty of stunning proportions!

DaveP67 was there as well.

You know how people usually don’t look anything like you think they will, this isn’t the case with Dave.....he looks EXACTLY how you’d expect, 7 feet tall, a mountain of a bloke and an absolute gent.

Nice to meet Stevi81 and his young lad and his dad and all of their crowd.

All topped off by a fantastic performance by a very, very good side.

With a bit of luck, continued fitness for Dike and a couple of January signings I think we’ll make the play offs.

I haven’t seen Albion that slick in possession and with movement and energy for many years, today’s performance was a joy to behold.

I’ll be back sooner rather than later.

Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a great day, including the scruffy sod from Harrogate!

Not you Stevi!!
