Remember coming home from this game, and having been to the Liverpool game 3 days before as well, seeing us knocked out both cups and thinking f**k this sh*t! 36 years later and sill haven’t learnt

Thought we were going to win the FA Cup in 1978 after beating Liverpool at The Bridge in the 3rd Round.

Another 19 years would pass, before we would win it again.

Sat 8th Feb 1986.

We went down 1-4 to Oxford Utd at The Bridge.

Our scorer was John Bumstead in the 63rd min.  The game was watched by a crowd of 16,181.

Duncan Shearers second and last game for us, while it was John Millers debut !

If this was on the go back then. The Match Thread would have been in Meltdown Mode !!

We are still 3rd in the table. 

We don’t play competitively again in the League,until Sat 8th March v Man City at The Bridge.

A snowy winter stopped play.

Yet our next match is a friendly just along the road from me v Glasgow Rangers on Friday 14th Feb 1986.

Friday 14th Feb 1986 and we play a friendly just along the road from me v Glasgow Rangers.

We go down 3-2 on a freezing cold night.

The floodlights went off in part of the Stadium I’m sure from memory.

Our scorers were Keith Jones and Nigel Spackman.

A crowd of 17,512 watched it.

Really angry this and the Leicester home game were played. The club advertised fans to help clear the terraces and pitch of snow and ice in return for a seat ticket! I got up there too late help and ended up sitting in a cafe down the Fulham rd having a fry up!!
 

The Leicester game had Kerry out injured, Speedie was suspended and Joe Mc Laughlin injured. I think it was all about having money coming in during a bad winter. Unfortunately 1 point out of 6 was a bad return for these fixtures. The two games to watch were awful as well.

Great night even though we lost. One of the coldest nights I’ve been to a game! The journey home was long as well!!!

  Never had the pleasure of going to a Southampton v chelsea fixture ( too far down on train i guess ) ,but that 

end behind the goals in that photo was a Odd looking shape for a bit of terrace . 
 

seem to recall coventry having a Odd away end aswell .

saying that the away end at Wigan ,Springfield Park was Odd for its lack of terrace and muddy slope where it 

was a terrace / field effort . Keep well away if its pissing it down
