Horrible rumblezoids but made an atmosphere. Only when they equalised late on. Which is basically Leeds allover, turn up in numbers, make a mumble, go mad and sing a bit when they score then get slapped back out of Sheffield.

Red Lion and the Plough mate. I lived in Catcliffe on Frederick st. (doesn't exist anymore) from 75-77 and although i was too young for pubs my Dad was a regular. We lived there 'cos he worked at Orgreave and my Mum worked at Handsworth Asda, the old one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bassetts Allsorts Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) Leeds, Sunderland, Newcastle, Man U, Man City, Chelsea, Villa, Rangers in terms of noise and numbers. To be expected really considering the size of the clubs. Plymouth and Grimsby always stand out for me, especially that following and support from Plymouth for the night match. There's a few other clubs that make noise but I can't stand their sh!t songs from the continent with no words - Watford, Palace etc. This season Cardiff impressed me. Always helps when we let teams go 2-0 up against us though Edited April 2, 2020 by Bassett's Allsorts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it was that game where I was in the upper part of the West Stand because it had been opened to home supporters. And thinking about it, I also watched a game from the lower part as well - the FA Cup quarter final against Wimbledon in about 1996. 13 hours ago, Nut said: Did Sterland get sent off that game?

I'm sure someone got sent off in front of the dug outs in that game for tangling with Mark Dennis. Ive tried googling it but can't find anything so may be clutching at straws.

They did have thousands that day, I'm certain they filled the Lepp Terrace and Stand, they didn't leave the lasting impression that the Geordies did though. The thing with Norwich, Southampton and Coventry was they were all one off, huge followings, teams like Newcastle, Man Utd, Man City, Liverpool, Everton, Villa and Leeds did it and still would do it on a regular basis. Although most big London clubs would now sell out, back in the 80s and 90s the standout ones I remember were Chelsea (one man went to Mow) and West Ham. I really can't remember Arsenal or Tottenham bringing as many as those 2, or they certainly didn't make as much noise. The other weird ones imo were the Impressive turnouts by Plymouth and Hull both for Night matches though Hull in particular have never brought anything like similar numbers again or even before and a great following one year by Bristol City one year when they were on a great winning streak in League 1. Still Rangers twice, followed by Newcastle are the best for me, although that's because I wasn't around in the 70s when both Man Utd and Villa swamped Hillsborough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
