I bump into Jenks when in Spain, he hasn't changed. Were you in the Van when we went to Lincoln full of furniture when we left Chapeltown, empty when we reached Lincoln.Anyone seen Phyliss ?

Remember standing on the kop, no roof, weeing it down, about 400 of us stood in the middle trying to create an atmosphere. Someone somewhere must have photos of those dark days ?

Only too well mate singing ridiculous songs like "We are the last of, the last of the Kop" and "We'll support you evermore, even in Division Four".

Having said that, depressing as the football was, we had some great away trips and the camaraderie was brilliant. Remember one night game at Shrewsbury, took all of two coaches and the fifty or so of us on the open end were doing the bloody conga and giving it loads to "Singing In The Rain". To top it all we hadn't won away all season and then Eric Potts missed an open goal from 5 yards out (right in front of us) with only about two minutes left, put it about ten felt over the bar! Poor old Geordie was doing his flippingnut! :biggrin:

Then we came out of the ground and someone had sprayed on the wall "Shrewsbury Town Skull Crushers!" laughed about it all the way home!

Didn't we go 35 games without an away win ?? It became cult following to be at the away game when we would win... and Jeff Johnson (?) did it for us at Reading (?) with a 35 yard screamer, don't remember much after that. Got plastered with Fresh Fish and the guys mentioned in the original post.

Yeah it was something like that. If I recall correctly the last win we had was in 74/75 season away at Southampton on the day after boxing day (think that was the last win for that season too) and then it was just dire for the next 20 months. Thought we might have cracked the case at Brighton (last away game of the 75/76 season) when we scored early on and led the whole match only for them to equalise in injury time! Of course when the win finally came I bloody well missed it! :blink:
