VictoryBell Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 i was on the lepps that day i remember ripping me best t shirt getting over that bloody fence happy days You must have gone on fairly early. After A while the stewards just opened the gate near the south stand and everybody walked on. Still got my blade of grass in a little brown envelope! Bloody weird how the place looks so completely different from on the picth - absolutely huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 I thought that as we play Carlisle tommorrow that I would share these photos of our memorable promotion celebration game against them in 1980. I remember visiting their ground, in the 70's and walking across a muddy field, fighting against driving rain and then standing on an uncovered terrace. One of my worst football memories. Anyone else there? Obviously I am not an old pro at this new fangled technology so I hope that these photos 'upload'. For the youngsters amongst you, the pictures were taken with a pocket Kodak Instamatic Camera with a 110 film. You needed big pockets and on the whole they produced poor pictures. This game was the last game that I experienced, on my season ticket, as it marked my move to University and move away from home. It was typical of the Owls as I had suffered years of watching mostly rubbish, only for them to be promoted as I moved away. The year I left University, 1983, they went even better and were promoted to the First Division as I moved 200 miles even further from Sheffield. Perhaps I need to emigrate. If memory serves me well we had well over 30,000 for this game, having achieved promotion the week before losing to Exeter. It was a boring 0-0 draw but still a fantastic atmosphere and one of those treasured memories of the 1979 - 1980 season. TractorOwl - these photos are superb ! Thank you for posting - great post !

Rodger Wylde Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I was also in the south stand and all I can remember is it being hot, a rock hard pitch and a very bouncy ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comeonwednesday Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 This photo has aleady been posted on the 'after Wycombe photo thread' but thought it was worth posting again. Taken from the same seat, R 34 Seat 92 in the North, 32 years apart. 1980 and 2102. Time flies. This season was the start of our asendancy over Utd that lasted 20 years, I believe they went down the following year, never reocovering from us going up. Hope history repeats itself.

Wolfmanjack Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 That's him mate, can't believe someone has recognised him ha ha Where's he at now? Does he still go? Ask him if he remembers Harthill youth club in the 60's. He was one of the best, your dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 My first game. Went on the Lepp with my dad. Remember bits of it but not much, mainly the pitch invasion and setting off from home. Can't remember any of the actual football that was played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitting image of my old mate Steve Holmes, who I lost contact with in the late 60's when he cleared off on his travels. You had a mate? Cracking thread though, and is it just me or does the Lepp triangle look way bigger and classier unseated? Used to stand there in the early days, '79-81 before moving on to the South 82-83, then Kop 84-2006 and now the North 2007-present. I've just realised, i'm going round in bleedin' circles :st2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
