When Kool left, the gang just wasn't the same.

I’ll be honest the amount of young girls in those photos is surprising, just shows young girls going to games isn’t a new thing, also all those kids going without their parents as well. Bloody loved it back then and really miss those days, I know the success and team are brilliant but the matchday experience is shit, or is it just rose tinted glasses?

Definitely (defiantly, to use BM terminology) not a cause to celebrate.

The standard of football there was truly shocking.

The standard of football there was truly shocking.

It really was poor wasn’t it. I watched, on you tube, the 1983 match against Brighton when we beat them 1-0. I was at that game and the standard of football was absolutely shocking.

I’ll be honest the amount of young girls in those photos is surprising, just shows young girls going to games isn’t a new thing, also all those kids going without their parents as well. Bloody loved it back then and really miss those days, I know the success and team are brilliant but the matchday experience is shit, or is it just rose tinted glasses?

It's the youthfulness of the match-goers that strikes me every time I see those photos. I was in my teens then and the whole experience was edgy (and cheap). I think going to games has grown old and sedate like its audience.
