May have to use tube, DLR and bus. Have you got far to travel? Fortunately it's not a late kick-off. I remember a couple of games last season when there was a strike and got home in the early hours. Bloody rail strikes. Yeah, from the south coast mate . No London trains from my ststion today . Slim chance of a lift , but only if someone drops out . I don't often regret moving from South London ! 😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erskblue Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 Today’s match on The Big Match Revisited was actually from Feb 1978. It was us v Man Utd. Not us v Ipswich Town from January. Apologies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No ticket but planned to meet mates at the ground for a drink - sometimes think that the most enjoyable part of the match day experience is the pre and post match boozing and revelry.

Looks like I’m now shopping with The Long Haired General 😕 There's a couple who sit behind me in the MHU and I think they travel up from Portsmouth. They weren't at yesterday's game. Noticed that a few other regulars weren't at the match. @Fruit Bat agree about the most enjoyable part of match day can be the pre and post match drinks.

Backbiter Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 From our relegation season, a gem of a goal from Kerry Dixon. Great interception by Steve Clarke, lovely skill, turn and pass from Mickey Hazard, and a superb finish: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPAIqp3clVY#t=26m50s erskblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backbiter Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 (edited) ^^ The above link does work. It won't embed because I added the time to the end of the URL. We absolutely got ourselves relegated that year. We had a side full of good players with some real quality: Niedzwiecki (before his career-ending injury), Clarke, Pates, Dorigo, Bumstead, Hazard, Clive Wilson, Nevin, Kevin Wilson, Dixon, Durie. There are several of them on YouTube on this channel: https://www.youtube.com/@cpv4cfc298/videos Edited September 10 by Backbiter erskblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backbiter Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 8 minutes ago, Bebe1980 said: Thanks, rings a bell but not a very loud one 🙂 I lived near Leicester for a while in the 70s. He was a huge Leicester City hero, in the days of ex- Chelsea Keith Weller (very good player we should have hung on to) and the legendary Frank Worthington. After he retired he became their on-pitch MC (a bit like Neil Barnett, only with a real playing career behind him). I think he had a stroke not long ago but made a pretty much full recovery. He was big mates with Showaddywaddy frontman Dave Bartram, and they used to be regulars in a pub I used to go to. Both very friendly guys. erskblue, The Rising Sun and Bebe1980 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
