Have you got the one in 1963 when we won 2-0 Rafferty and Portwood scoring to confirm our promotion,

It might be in black and white

Funnily we've just been discussing this and the balance of opinion said that for this game Town hired the League Liner train which for you youngster was BRs idea to try to reduce damage to trains which regularly got trashed. I yhink we also tried to get it for the Coventry cup game in 1973 but were knocked back.  We did have two specials that day tho.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Thanks for sharing Bigdog really appreciate it despite the result we know it all turned out right in the end.

I watch that and wonder where the fcuk did football go wrong? Proper players, proper gates no doubt paying on the day and standing, proper highlights and a bit of punditry at the end.

I am not convinced better foreign importants, Sky TV coverage, athletes as players etc etc ... has improved the spectacle.

Started going to home games that season too. Was too young to travel, but nearly every adult in the family who went to games went to that Brentford game. I remember it being a big thing for some reason.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

My first game was the glamour of Workington at home the previous season,, somehow I got hooked on a bitterly cold day..

Thanks big dog enjoyed that trip down pre birth memory lane seeing some towns supposed legends doing their best in the4th div . Few points I’d like to make though.
1. The football was pretty shite , no change there then in the last 40 years
2. Not a lot of imagination went into the kit . No badge on the shirt even ffs
3. You could happily smoke a pipe on the terrace without a steward giving you grief
