Well, the season had started with a fantastic win over bitter rivals Scunthorpe Utd and at the end of the month we had achieved four wins and a draw from our five games played. Sixteen goals had been scored and Sir Matt had made a fantastic contribution of six goals in five games. Something was stirring at Blundell Park and the fans knew it. Our average home attendance from our four games played was 8715 and this was to increase over the course of the season. September looked tough with games against teams who would eventually challenge us for the title in Southend, Brentford and Lincoln plus a cup game against third division Shrewsbury. This is how the month panned out.

Incredible attendances. They show up so quickly. That Shrewsbury one is particularly striking.

Thanks again.


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.

How do you convert a photo on my pc to become an image that goes on here? I've done it before but can't seem to do it now... that goes for a lot of things?! The photo doesn't have a url number.

  That Stockport game was my first. My dad, just a casual football fan and then mostly of Bradford City ( his home town club ), persuaded me to go when I thought I would have no interest. I went to please him, loved it, and from then on I was the one nagging him to go back for every game. What great memories! Thank you so much for doing this and I'm looking forward to enjoying the rest of the season!

Lincoln was my first ever away game by myself, and I can hardly remember anything about the game as I couldn't get into the stand as there was one huge melee around the back of it, with Town fans and police going head to head to prevent Town fans getting into the Lincoln end. It was one of those bottlenecks where you are just swept along and unable to determine where you want to end up. Pretty frightening when you consider how some of the disasters have happened at football.

Remember seeing a Town fan with blood stains down his white sta prest trousers. Rumour had it he'd been stabbed with a screwdriver. On the way back to the station there were running battles all the way, and there was a large hotel (whose name escapes me) on the opposite side of the road. Very quickly a hail of stones went it's way and the windows started going in causing genuine panic inside. Fairly sure the train was ripped to bits on the way back as well. Strange to think the majority of those involved will all now be pensioners screaming at irresponsible youngsters not observing the lockdown?


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

  I think we scored 4 in the second game I went to also. I'm sure I thought it would be like that every game! And that season it actually was quite often!
