steelerian Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Shrewsbury Town at home, must have been about 79-81 sort of time. Pretty sure it was a midweek evening game and it pissed it down all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kew Owl Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 October 1970 - lost 5-1 at home to Luton. Malcolm Macdonald scored a hat trick for them, with Jackie Sinclair scoring our only goal. I seem to remember we didn’t play too badly, but McDonald’s finishing was pretty lethal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many left in at 90 minutes but me and my mate decided to stay in the ground until everyone else had left. Don't know why, we were young and foolish. My first game was as per my username, 6-1 v Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freshfish Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 March 23rd 1963: vs Wolves North Stand. Went with mi dad and uncle, who used to play for Wolves. It was the day before my 4th birthday. We won 3-1 but the only thing I remember was the smell of blokes, beer and fags and seeing lots of long overcoats. I still remember how special of felt though.

I Remember being gutted, I just never expected to see us lose (how times change!!) I also remember looking across from the Leppings Lane at the handful of Welshman going crazy in the Kop Triangle. Looking back I'm pretty certain they'd been put in that corner for their own safety and would have been protected by the police, but they certainly made a impression on an 11 year old watching their celebrations from afar.
