Another one I remember is Bournemouth away 87 in December could of been one of the last specials we run . Probably about 40 on the train at most . Great days for us who didn’t give a fook .
Yes it was a Tuesday night.I recall Bournemouth away in December 88 (I had an inflatable snowman!) - went on the special and the away end was packed.
Pretty sure the 87 game was a night match (won 2-0) which is why I missed it

Meeting my mate at Hull station that day and was approached by Hull's finest asking me the time. Said nothing but pointed to my wrist showing I had no watch and moved swiftly away.Full members cup Hull City away 1985, 300 there at most, to be fair it was a crap competition and a night game. brought in to replace the loss of European football, wonder how that came to be. Was at the final against Chelsea at Wembley, fecked off at 5-1.
They were a naughty bunch in the 80’s. I went to the first game of the season one year which we lost 1-0 after hitting the bar and post about 4 times. I remember some scrapping going on in the car park before the game all around Swales car!Meeting my mate at Hull station that day and was approached by Hull's finest asking me the time.

64 mate, I was at Maine road few days later our first home game of that season Wednesday night Leyton Orient won 6-0 the night our new lights we're switched on.Well done to everybody your loyalty can never be doubted. Fantastic stories. Thought I had done my bit when going to Charlton away for the first game in 1963. Football special from Manchester Central to St Pancras, there was only me and my mate on it although in those days it stopped at othe football stations like Sheffield, Derby , Notts and Leicester to take their fans to respective games. How times have changed. We lost 2-1 by the way.
I just cant believe how many people remember so far back!! Similarly to someone saying they can't remember what they had for tea last night I struggle remembering the last game.Probably a good thing my lad comes with me to get me to the stadium and home.Well done to everybody your loyalty can never be doubted.
