I remember one brilliant night there though in early January 79 when we drew 2-2 in the FA Cup 3rd round.

They gave us the open topped end behind the goal and we packed that whole end, I’d guess we took 15,000 there that night, it was a nightmare trying to get in.

There was more than 38,000 there, I think that was their last ever really big crowd.

They got a late equaliser and we then thrashed them 4-0 in the replay at our place in front of over 36,000.

These were the days before Jeremy decided we were a mid range second division club!

We’d already beaten them 7-1 in the October.......no wonder they wore that brown kit!
We beat them 3-1 in the league there as well. I went to that game, the 7-1, and the 4-0 but missed the 2-2 as I didn't feel well.
We put 16 goals past them in one season.
