Ah, there you'd need the historians amongst us, wouldn't have been all standing no, some people liked the comfort of a seat in the stands,wouldn't have been any segretion in the seats in those days.I was on the terraces with the main body of the Milton faithful.But there were Saints fans everywhere, segregation just wasn't a problem then, you just turned up, paid your money and stood wherever you wanted.We used to get away fans in the Milton Rd,there just wasn't any control over that in the 70s.

mikec Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 Fantastic Mike, didnt we make certain of promotion in 78 with the 0-0 draw at home to Spurs? I'm a different Mike but you are right strictly speaking, although it would have taken some freak results for us not to be promoted by then. Brighton needed to win and us to lose to Spurs and there also needed to be a 8 goal turnaround in goal difference. Therefore it was the draw at Orient that effectively sealed promotion.

southamptonfclegend Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 Everyone saying they were at Plymouth, we weren't technically promoted at Plymouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric The Red Posted 20 April, 2012 Share Posted 20 April, 2012 Actually we weren't 'officially' promoted until the last game in 66, 78 and 11. Each time it would have needed a freak result to stop us going up. Hopefully we will make absolutely certain tomorrow. By the way I was there in 78 and 11. My brother was there in 66, does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLOTH EARS Posted 21 April, 2012 Share Posted 21 April, 2012 I went to Luton in 78, this was the 3rd last game, Orient was the following Wednesday. We took over 2 1/2 stands at Luton, i'd estimate we took 12000-14000 that day and it was brilliant! I never went to Orient as i was only 12 and the people who i usually went wiv were not going but we took over 3/4 of Brisbane Road that day from what i gather.

Suomi Saint Posted 21 April, 2012 Share Posted 21 April, 2012 The funniest thing I remember about '78 at Orient was the South Today sports reporter trying to climb a cat ladder to a gantry, which I presumed held the commentary box. His legs were wobbling and 00's of sympathetic Saints fans were giving him some "encouragement." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
