First game I took my wife to and I paid good money to get her in the Southern Stand - She left Hillsborough a Chelsea fan. Weirdly, we're still married.

She should give you the money for the ticket at least... its a bit mental the contrasting fortunes both teams have had... I would say we where pretty level for a long time.

Remember my dad taking me on the kop in the late 60's. The crowd must have been poor that day as there were loads of space in front of me. I was only around 6 or 7 at the time so was probably too young to be enthralled. However, my second visit was around 1973. This time I was stood on the north west terrace. I was in awe of the big Kop with all those people on it. I think the crowd was only around 14,000 but it looked full to me.

Wasn't it a circular at that time, going up and down Donovan Road?

 

Bridge Street - those were the days. Football Specials lined up with everyone pushing to get on trying to get on back seat upstairs.
