Can't remember who's ground it was but it had the back of a supermarket in one corner sticking right out. The fastest I ever ran that day to avoid a kicking.

torryowl Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 my favourite was probably the 1st game in the 3rd at southend ....was working at butlins in skeggy and went on the train which wasn't an easy journey ,arrived and asked some old fella which way to the ground and followed his directions only to get down to where he sent me to find they hadn't played there since 1955 .no matter found roots hall and a riotious day will be remembered by the 1000s that were there......bonus on the trip home was being on the same train as the Newcastle team on there way back from west ham and having a few words with the bloke in my avatar telling him how the lads had played ................for those that wernt there we lost and things didn't get any better coz we didn't win one away game all season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a shed load of us in the upper stand behind their goal. The home fans below were taunting us by singing "there's only one way out". We got a police escort back to the station.

Grimsby on a wet Tuesday night..enough said! Derby away (when banned) Drinking champagne on the coach home from Exeter (age 14) :) The fish n chips at Southend OMG! (yet to be bettered..not battered) Oxford's flimsy exit gate..which quickly became an entrance! Wrexham...if youve been there is nothing I can add here is there?!
