Rotherham when we got promoted not sure if it was from the 3rd or 4th. Stoke in the cup when they had the pink panthers brilliant night game cracking atmosphere.

 

Man city 1982. Rotherham, season before (mentioned above). Newport county week after Rotherham. All closely followed by every other home game 81 - 84

 

Grimsby Div 4 Promotion - crowd of 21,000

 

V Grimsby 1979 - over 21000 for a 4th division game

 

Agreed - Grimsby home
Was that John Saunders last game ?

 

Grimsby. Chelsea in cup and Bradford what a day.

 

Absolutely loads in the 80s as Oakwell was proper packed at times. For a more recent one, Hull at end of last season wasn't bad, but they are few and far between these days.

 

From what I remember the Bradford wasn't that great of an atmosphere, think we all had our fingers in our mouth chewing down our nails!

 

I do believe so - didn't he score the first in the 2-1 win (memory my be playing up here)

 

Yeah hull last season was good

Oxford, 96-97, about 4 or 5 thousand of us. We couldn't see for the fog, let alone sing.

Reight atmosphere.

 

Absolutely, the atmosphere in the late 70s and early 80s was special (Clarke/Hunter/Collins eras). 96/7 wasn't bad either, although I remember the 3-2 win against Portsmouth being fairly quiet. Also worth a mention was the Ipswich game just before the FA Cup semi-final (2008) when the Ponty (all standing up) sang "Red Army" for what felt like 45 minutes.

 

Yes

 

From the start of the 1978/79 season when Allan Clarke took over as player/manager to the end of the 1981/82 season, the atmosphere & optimism down at Oakwell was fantastic. Losing the spine of that great team (Evans, McHale & Aylott) and not replacing them properly in the Summer of 1982 saw a general downturn. Obviously certain matches generated an excellent atmosphere, but it just wasn't the same standard as it had been or as often. Only the Premier League season matched it.
Funnily enough, some of those old Fourth Division matches in the 1970's with relatively small attendances could generate quite heated atmospheres.

 

That was just Kev's arse.

 

Rotten swine!

 

Chelsea cup quarter final. Ponte doing ring of fire tune near the end, stand was shaking.
