Notts County Away 85.

[Spurs quarter 69]

Remember it well - went on Mainline coach - a few of the lads on that coach got in the dressing room at half time - not sure of the attendance figure but think ground capacity was 17/18 thousand and couldn't have been more than 3 or 4 thousand Notts County fans there

Any Forest seeking mither ?

Arrived in Nottingham about eleven as the pubs were opening an absolute chaotic day on and off the pitch, City fans were not angels back in the day, Third biggest away following in my experience.
No 1 good bad Friday Oldham.
No 2 Blackburn away promotion
No 3 Notts County away.
I remember being gutted, the result however led to one of my favourite ever days on the real Kippax when it was standing the promotion game against Charlton.

How many at Oldham ?

Yeah without that loss we wouldn’t have had Charlton! What a day that was too, brilliant days.

Might be right on the following. I think United away in the cup when we lost 1-0 takes some beating. We had loads there that day.

I note your user name, were you at Millwall's the old ground in 88? when we won 1-0 if i remember we were locked in in the ground for about an hour after the game.

How many at Oldham ?

From memory the official attendance was approx 20000, Oldham's average attendance that season was below 4000, when we arrived at the ground, the Ques were that large hundreds decided to just climb over the walls to the ground, We went into Oldham's home end, ended up in a scrap, its impossible to say but i would estimate about 17000.

I'd throw that Leeds FA Cup game into the hat too with the pitch invasion by them.

Stoke away (boxing day, 87/88?) ish was a huge following.

Throw in stoke away for trevor francis’ debut

Four of us went the night before and kipped in my mates car. Got chased out of Radcliffe on trent (cant remember why we went there) because one of the lads was chatting the wrong bird up. Ended up parking near the ground, about 6am my mate needed the toilet and disappeared for 15 minutes or so.
He'd climbed over the wall and took a dump in the toilets inside the ground.
