Goldstone form was key to survival

Today marks 25 years to the day since Albion played their last game at the Goldstone Ground.
The 1-0 win over Doncaster Rovers, secured by Stuart Storer’s close-range goal, was one of the most important results in the club’s history as it meant Albion only had to avoid defeat in the final Division Three match at Hereford United the following week to preserve their Football League status. They did so with a 1-1 draw but manager Steve Gritt acknowledges that the home form that season was crucial to Albion’s survival.
