I think the game started a few minutes late, as there were tons of fans still outside at kick off and as always, hardly any bloody programmes available. They probably only printed 150....

Remember having to ask a manure fan which letter was the florist score......and him telling me he was a florist fan (as well) and they were playing the Sunday.

Funny what you remember.
I hadn't thought about the size of the crowd in respect of it was probably the biggest crowd I've been in at a Notts home game but having checked again it was the 3-2 win at home to Florist in Dec 82 which was my biggest home crowd experienced, 2,500 more than this one.
