Really thought we were off to Wembley when speedo scored early, even in defeat that is still possibly the night game that first springs to mind when thinking back, over 32 years ago and still can't describe the atmosphere that night from 2 hours before till 2 hours after, as a 15 year old at the time, It will always stay with me

Eddie McCreadie, Chelsea manager, inspects the surface water on the pitch at Stamford Bridge with groundsman George Anstiss. February 1977.

It was not unusual for the teams to play on a pitch like this back in the 70's. Amazing

13 November 1945: With the second world war just ended, Dynamo Moscow toured Britain. Here, the Russian players walk out on to the pitch at Stamford Bridge, carrying bouquets for their Chelsea opponents. The match was so popular that ticket touts were able to charge up to £5 for tickets that had a face-value of just 10 shillings and the official attendance of 74,496 is considered at least 25,000 short of the true attendance.

I was of a similar angle but in the shed near the tea bar with a mate, my old man and his mate, left us when We left car parked near the old gas works, they went near middle of shed. I lapped it up at school following day, as my street cred went up for being there at game. Not that I was anywhere near the pitch or anything. Different era!!

I was at the game against Cambridge in 82 when he scored the only goal. We had massive numbers that day hardly any of us paid in.

So many memories of the West Stand. I reckon it became a bit of a chaps hangout a season after Gate 13 got going- 83 ish, Can recall when we had Pompey Xmas 83; was in Gate 13, an old hand I was sitting close to was pretty dismissive of the benches/ seats when Pompey came walking over- they cant do .... all that lot being his exact words.

The television gantry was above. Cant remember how anyone accessed it?

The good thing about Marty was that if he sat at the half-way line, he could watch both sides of the pitch at the same time...

Sorry Clive but we all have the odd bad hair days... 

A man of many haircuts. His last season of regular play would have been 82-83, which was Speedos first year.  Cant remember the game, but was watching from the very back of the East Stand with the old man; he used to love it up there for some reason - it was lamping it down - they were both the same size and had bald patches- from up in the Gods in the  p...... rain in it was nigh on impossible to tell them apart
