Apart from those mentioned we had a fair few at the Stoke relegation match as well. Seemed to be a good couple thousand at least in their end.

Leeds in the 70's were great, because from 1975 onwards the block of City fans just got bigger and bigger, in 75 I think we lost 2-1, City had all the end opposite the Leeds end [ Spion Kop???], but a big blue with coppers occurred during the match, and I think they rushed us with trucheons drawn and the dogs as well...A GOOD DAY..., from 76 onwards we seem to not only have the end full but we was starting to go down the opposite stand to the Maine Stand, and yes I think it was 1978 the FA Cup, we won 2-0, had a pitch invasion of Leeds fans, but there must have been 15,000 at least, and did we make some noise!!!!!!!!.........happy days.....

You must ave left early we won 1-2 on riot day in the cup great following that though my mate got arrested before kick off took us till half eight to get him out mental day that was.

That was a great day. Police horses on the pitch etc. I was a student at Leeds university then and remember being bombarded by bricks from outside the ground as we waited to get out.

The year before we were knocked out of the cup at Elland Rd by a late goal by Trevor Cherry (I think) so the police horse episode was quite nice and reminiscent of the Old Trafford fiasco/disgrace of a few years earlier.

Them were the days!
