Mickey Thomas 84 against Leeds.

Interesting to see the attendances of the other three clubs fighting for promotion, city, Newcastle,and Wednesday all have got similar crowds, I bet all four teams had a very similar average attendance for the season. No guessing what team had the bigger and better away following though!!!! As I drift off to sleep tonight and as often when I read this thread before bed I will doze off thinking of le coq sportif football kits, the shed, gate 13, the benches, Pringle sweaters, Permed at the back hair, Lois cords and that season and that team!!!
