    Can you remember walking down from the train station at Wednesday?

    Thousands of Red and white fans , all heading for Hillsbro. It was just like walking down Oakwell Lane.

    errr £25 to £30 per ticket

    compared with maybe a couple of quid... &amp; if you wern't around then let me assure you we were fecking outstanding. Played the best football I've seen except for maybe 96/97 but it's a close thing.</p>

    Big difference between 500 and 1000. Commentators reckoned 4-500.

    RE: we only had the cow shed end because we took it over

    We took a fair few to Northampton too, maybe around 2,000, as i seem to remember Barnsley fans occupying half the seats and the bulk of the terraces in front of the main stand - not to mention that bit of half-terracing behind one of the goals. It was also where Northants played their cricket wasn't it?

    Portsmouth was quite rough on the day we beat them 1-0. I think one of their fan's had a go at Clarkie and Phil Chambers was involved in a slight bout of fisticuffs at the end of the game. We seemed to be detained inside Fratton Park for an eternity.

    After that; it was the glorious night of the Grimsby match. Unbelievable scenes!

    Think we lost 1-0 at 'udders feb 81 dave cowling

    scored for them, it did end our 20 match unbeaten run, i reckon we took about 10,000 to that one, might have been the weekend before 'boro away in the cup, or just after can't remember now, for biggest away following for a league game i'd have to go for hillsbrough nov 82 maybe 11-12000, filled the whole of the leppings lane, including the corners! 2-2 draw, banks and glavin notched for us.
