dunsbyowl Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 30 years ago today 1st match under the new Kop roof - capacity raised to 22,000 - 2-2 draw with Everton goals Hirst & Shutt. No more getting wet in the wind and the rain and I'll never forget the noise against Kaiserslauten !

Guest white kanu Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Fond memories of 'both' kops. Favourite bit here though was seeing the old David Ford advert 'who's he dad?' ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall when number five went in he said something like buck this we're leaving and took me to the Grapes on Trippet Lane for me first time in a pub at night.

Prendo's boots Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Remember being 0-5 down at half time...Lineker hat trick too I think...was on the Kop for both games mentioned!! Before the seats went in it was the best terrace anywhere...brilliant!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNChance Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Great post I remember when the seating went in, we were allowed to go and preview the view from our season ticket seats a couple of weeks before the opening game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
