Barnsley away at Pompey 1990....3 piece suite in back for seats and 5 litre drum for a toiletthe van doubled up as a B+B in Bognor Regis for the night....very eventful tripsame day Leeds rioted at Bournemouth...great memories
Absolutely blazing hot day. I was on supporters bus aged 11, they wouldn't stop at any services on the way home so that we could get back to town for a few drinks. Absolutely magical season, especially the last few weeks. Machin completed the escape miracle away at Middlesbrough the Tuesday night before this trip with a 1-0 win at Middlesbrough, in the two games before that we drew with West Brom when they had their beach party at Oakwell, having won at Elland Road the Tuesday night before with the famous Owen Archdeacon winner. Magic days.
I got really sunburnt that day. Baking hot on that away end. Which is ironic cos every other time I’ve been it’s p:ssed it down!
Think the West Brom game was my first ever game. 2-2, after they had beaten us 7-0 at their place just after Clarke was sacked?
Official figure waa 600 Tarn fans. The following week's Chronicle printed an apology to the mayor of Bognor Regis. Have to say; the second half of that season was fantastic!
