Can Anybody Beat This?

I went to my first game aged 3, so if I live as long as "Mum" I would surely be the longest supporting fan. Better put these chips in the bin and get a salad.

Can you remember much about it Manc?

PS. Forget the salad and go get yourself a burger!

It was at home to Ipswich in the 83/84 season and I think we lost. My Dad took me. Funny thing is that my Uncle took me to watch Forest a few months later and they won, but I still stuck with Notts!!

upthemaggies is correct in saying we had the odd big gate before Tommy joined

Yeah, that's what I meant, we could attract huge crowds before he came onto the scene, especially in the FA Cup, as high as 45k (1921 v Aston Villa).

The gate receipts for that game, where the attendance was 45,014, were £4,086.

That's an average admission price of 9p. (The equivalent of £4.28 now).

The result, incidentally, was 0-0.
