    Yes, but remember, those were the days when "we didn't want to get promoted".

    Walking round to the other side of the terrace at half time! Also some decent music played over the tannoy, i.e.Sousa Marches. Also the smell of tobacco in the air. XL crisps and Bovril at half time.

    You could by a scarf

    ... that said...
    Horne, Joyce, Chambers, Glavin, Banks, McCarthy, Evans, Parker, Aylott, McHale, Barraclough.

    And not only was it right, match after match, it was also near enough for a good few seasons.
