HUDDERSFIELD TOWN - TUESDAY 18/03/07

REPORT | VIDEO
Miraculously, a victory in their game in hand would see the Albion move into the play-off places with only 9 games left to go in the League One season. The opponents were Huddersfield Town at their fantastic Galpharm Stadium. Despite being nearly 15 years old, it is still admired across the country for its architectural genius and as such is arguably the best stadium in the division. With the new Falmer stadium designed to bear a resemblance to it, the Crocs made the long journey north, hoping to see the Seagulls climb into promotion contention
