All the games previously mentioned were very special & I would also add a couple of earlier ones which stand out in my memory . League game at home to Gillingham in 1966 winning 2-1, due to the Dennis Allen (or was it Mick Travers) screamer. League game home to Swindon in the same season, who ha...

I also watched it from the South Bank,although I was still calling it 'Under the Clock' at times. Can anyone recall when we first started calling it the South Bank?

Yes, I was definitely there & still have the programme (in fact I have all my programmes from Dec 1965 onwards). I did write a description of the goal (of sorts)'when I wrote my book about 25 years ago, but even then the actual details were a bit fuzzy round the edges. Nowadays all I can remembe...

So sorry to hear the very sad news. My thoughts are with you. I also tragically lost my son back in 2004. Always remember and cherish the good times, they can be a comfort. Although I don't know you personally, if there is anyway I can help please contact me & I hope that you also have others wh...

They won't be. We're also defeated fanbase who would go out with a whimper. The defiance mindset ended last year. I'm not travelling the length of the country for a funeral, wherever first game after a takeover would be a different matter. Fair play to you bud. However, I happen to know quite a few...

Travelling up from darkest Somerset for one of my infrequent games. Will be staying overnight and visiting the ruins of Calleva Atrebatum on Sunday. I'm sure that's a touch of irony!!

£500, probably.

probably, it might of been one of those ‘power-cut’ afternoons of the seventies…..maybe even a Sunday? Being a ‘young Spizz’ and being in attendance at many of the Charlie Hurley games, I was probably not making too many notes for future references :wink: 'Oh happy days'. I have to admit I had to r...

I recall a magnificent Percy Freeman 30/40 yard screamer at a muddied 1970s Elm Park (just don’t ask me :wink: what game it was tho’)….recall the Evening Post of the day rated it very highly. Yes, Percy also scored some great goals. I remember a couple in the last home game against Chester in 1972/...

Yes, Robin Friday's goal was so special. Even ref Clive Thomas rated it as the best goal he'd seen. Quinn's goal, like Smith's were very good but, another with a brilliant shot was Dennis Allen (the winer against Gillingham in 66/67 from all of 30 yards was another cracker!) I recall a magnificent ...

I have so many memories of Elm Park,since my first match in 1965 as a 13 year old; even the toilets are now legendary! Yes, the new ground was magnificent in comparison, but it never felt like home. Of course over time that is what it has become and now we have new memories,since the move in 1998. B...

Any idea if it's possible to buy tickets on the day at the ground?

[I remember the train journey & singing 'No don't Stop The Carnival' at Birmingham New Street. Also being in the Kippax in error, whoops! quote="South Coast Royal"] Fleetwood at home is alright. Losing replays is a bit sad. Sad !!! I was distraught on 31st January 1968 when Man City be...

Fleetwood at home is alright. Losing replays is a bit sad. Sad !!! I was distraught on 31st January 1968 when Man City beat us 7-0 at Elm Park before a crowd of 25,969. :D Yes but what a fantastic match at Maine Road - drawing 0-0, with all their stars such as Francis Lee, Mike Summerbee, Colin Bel...

The only team beating our 106 points will be ourselves next season, if we can manage to keep the squad together.
