Went as a 17 yr old - got tickets via our Sunday football team at the Crown @ Waring Green Brighouse - but had to sit in with Leeds fans in terrace at side of Gelderd End.
Was so hard to keep quiet when we scored & having to suppress our joy on the walk back to the car.

Can't remember what I had for my tea last Tuesday , but I remember every single thing about that day/night.
Can still picture that train leaving Huddersfield station , resembling the Calcutta express.
What a fucking night that was..

I wasn't there but was glued to the radio as a young 'un.
As one of the only Town fans in my year at a School full of Leeds scum, the following morning was very sweet indeed and the first of a few victories over them across that early-mid eighties period.

It was so packed in that little terrace , I remember just jumping up and staying off the ground . And some poor git on the floor underneath it all.
The following day I was at tech and I remember a sad yiddy saying they could hear us singing when they were about a mile from the ground . David cowling did . Happy days

UTT Think it was on 'final whistle 2'. Mark Lillis told a little story and showed a nice 2 mins highlights. |

Weirdly I would have sworn I was there but in 82 I was in the Navy down in Pompey. Did we play em in late 70’s when we had the whole of that lower one side? Hope we did otherwise I’m going doolally.

UTT Sorry fella, the previous time we'd played them was 1974 in a league cup replay around the time of the Clough sacking. I didn't go to that (too young to go on my own) but suspect it was before the ground redevelopments. I bet you'd got some leave. Was taken in 1972 and was in the Scratching shed and admit to being pretty scared (I'd rarely ventured out of the main stand before that). Didn't seem many Town in there that night. |

We'd just paid in then the cops opened the exit gates, everyone rushed in causing a lot of crushing until they opened the extra sections up to halfway line, I was working at Mitre sports in Ossett with some L33ds fans who said only Man Utd had come close to matching Town's thousands of followers that night......still a clear memory of the match even now. UTT..

I am amazed the Falklands War lasted just 74 days, started in April and was over by June 1982! |

UTT Maybe you were there for the Christmas fixture the following season, when we dicked the bastards again, 2-1 this time? I was at both games, the first one as a 15yo in my first season of going to games without my dad. I'm pretty sure that I went on the Special (train) for the cup game, with them bussing us straight to the ground from the station on a fleet of service busses. The League fixture the following season was unusual as we went from Hudds Bus Station on another fleet of double deckers - and they took us down the M62. Edit: Just watched that clip again - fuck me, it was even more mental in that Lowfields paddock than I remember it!! What a fucking night!! |
