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 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!! The Boxing Day one was mad.......I was 13 and had to climb up the lowfield stand wall and sat on the steps as the stand itself was packed full and the paddocks below even worse. Lillis and Russell with the goals from memory and a lovely friendly sing song in the concourse after as objects galore were hurled over the wall into the big open concourse which existed at the time. A friendly lot down the a62 back then....Great memories.

10/11/82, Milk Cup. 38 years ago, blimey. I was there along with around 8000 other Town fans.We played them off the park that night and the score should have been at least 3 nil to Town. If I remember correctly was it not the season we went up and Davy Cowling also scored the winner against Newport to send us up in 3rd spot, a long time ago so I might have got seasons mixed up. I remember going to the league match at Leeds I think the following year and we won again 2-1. We went on double decker buses from Huddersfield and I well remember getting to Leeds and 2 coppers came upstairs to tell us to quieten down as we were in the "Big City" now little old Huudersfield

I remember being able to shout across to my mates who were in the Leeds end as we were in a pen right towards the kop Magic days. Oh to be that age again

Oh to be that age again I was in the Lowfields stand in the top row of seats. No room to stand up and banged my head on some metal post above my head when Town scored.

Outside the Hilton on the walk back the Aussies came out to see this vast army go by, must have been quite a site for them.......managed to shake Mal Meninga's huge hand.

Seem to remember that two or three promo girls walking round pitch at half time during the boxing day game. When they got infront of us in the Lower Lowfields the mass cry of "Get your t**s out for the lads" went up. I suppose because it was a cold winters day they didn't ☹️

One of them cheekily teased 'the lads' by motioning to lift her top and then not doing so - thereby provoking the beginnings of a huge expectant cheer which quickly subsided into jeers of disappointment. Quite funny, and I admired the way she was clearly not intimidated by such a mass of alcohol fueled (mostly) teenage testosterone.

I just couldn't remember the detail.

No farting round with priorities and queueing for tickets in those days , you just went. I know most of all on that train we went on were just let in for nowt (they opened a big gate), as kick off time was approaching. Thinking about it now , it could easily have been a prequel to Hillsborough . They must have let a good 400 in.

great night, all the better for being one of the many who got in for nothing, made it doubly enjoyable
