C`mon guys

We took about 1000 to stamford bridge for the semi, which I think we won 2-0 both goals from Le Tiss one from the spot? and around that time we also beat them in the league in a midweek game around 12000 there in total. Makes you laugh about the Chelsea fans now nobody wanted to know them then, thanks to Ken Bates and their 'electric fencing'

 

I think we had more than 1000 at chelsea, we were already 2-0 up from the first leg and won 3-1 at stamford bridge, the league game was 9k, remind any chelsea fans of that.

I'm going, though Christ knows why... I waver between stupidly overenthusiastic and utterly uninspired depending pretty much on the state of my bank balance alone, went to a load of away games in the Prem Relegation season and last season, yet couldn't find a reason to watch Saints v Sheff Wed in the 3rd round a few years back, haven't been away once this time round and am still not quite sure why I've decided to attend tomorrow.

 

Then again I gave up a job and moved 120 miles 4 years ago mainly to facilitate watching Saints more often, and I own fookloads of kits so I think we should have an uberfan league.

 

Actually, in all seriousness what I think the club should do for these kind of games is start by opening the front rows of all the stands and sell backwards. That gives a nice "near the pitch" feel which creates a different atmosphere. They could reduce the open turnstiles and numbers serving if they want to save on overheads.

 

And I suppose for the "my seat" tards they could pay a £10 Premium to sit exactly where they want.

I do remember going to Boro on a night game, course it was cold and yes, not many there if i remember so it could well have been that one. There was also Sundrland away on New Years day, at the old Roker Park, think Kevin Ball scored the only goal.

 

I have to say that they really were the good old days when football was football and players were people and fans were proper fans and not here for the prawn sandwiches or 'kids for quid' games. Still never went by train though, except to London games like QPR, cause you had to really.

 

Sunderland away on new years day was an iconic game, I remember people we knew who went having an interesting journey on the icy roads. Did you go on the princess summerbee coaches?

What about the littlewoods cup games around that time, heard some good stories about Scarborough and Rochdale ?

I expect it will be 10k+.
