Fa cup semi final at Villa Park in 81 we out numbered Ipswich massively

To counter the lowest away following thread.

I’ll start with Notts County away in 1985.

Promotion game, Bank holiday Monday from memory. Party atmosphere on the special travelling to Nottingham.

3-0 down at half time, pitch invasion and fans in the dressing room. Two Simmo goals brought us back into it but it wasn’t to be.

Train wrecked on the way home


Notts County average was 6000 that season. 17,000 plus there that day so I’ll hazard a guess that we had 11-12000 fans there.

this was a mad day out, how away days often used to be in the mid 80's remember at notts train station not having time to get to the train on the other side and running across the the tracks to get on it, pure madness of youth

Charlton home game the week after ! Happy Days…..

Was there that day, was absolutely rammed in that away end. Went on a coach from aytown st, none of us had tickets, all jibbed in. Mates on other coaches said the same, so I think the away following was much bigger than officially acknowledged.

Not the biggest but possibly one of the better organisedView attachment 59534

It was mad before, during and after that match. "No door knockers" is funny, though. :-)

Stoke away 1998 last game of the season. Blues all over the stadium, thousands in the main stand upper tier alone. Ref blows whistle to start the first half & fighting starts for 90mins...

 

[bluestevei]

the fa cup game at villa park where richards scored to make it 1-1, city had all behind the net and at side as well, i think the gate was about 18k as on bbc1 live and i think we had about 9-10k

I remember a friendly at Oldham I think we won 1-6 or 0-6 we had pretty much the full stadium, every stand was filled with City.
