What was the best home match you ever seen?

Quoted from TimMickleburgh

Town 3 Exeter 0 Fourth Division championship Tuesday 2nd May 1972.What a fabulous night,my ears were ringing all the way  home from the sheer volume of noise.

That's the one for me too. I'll never forget that night.

Quoted from barralad

Some great games mentioned but my all-time favourite is Grimsby 3 Barnsley 2. Good Friday in 1982. Barnsley were going for promotion. They went 2-0 up but then Town inspired by Trevor Whymark (easily the most skilful player I've seen in the Black and White stripes) started to play.....
The faces of the Barnsley fans at the end were a mixture of pure shock and rage

My first ever game. I was only 8. Some days I wish Town had lost...

Can't remember much, but I do remember Joe Waters being outstanding.

Quoted from Theimperialcoroner

Sigone already mentioned it, but the 'total football' destruction of Huddersfield should be shown on a loop to anyone who ever has a bad work for Alan Buckley.
The Barnsley 3.2 sticks out, as does the Sheff Utd 4.0. Burnley 6.5 was mad, and even getting hammered by the Hammers was interesting. West Brom 1.0 and 5.1 were special (Anyone remember how hard Grovesy hit that pen?). So few of these games have been in recent years, but the wheel of fortune may be turing around again....We shall soon see.

Agreed. I showed that to a current Town fan who isn't old enough to appreciate how we used to play. He was astounded.

Although the result was great, we demolished a Doncaster side 5-0 at home and it was...expected...! The atmosphere wasn't particularly great and the goals just kept coming.

Four games to pick from all long time agao

56/57 or 57/58 Season 3-1 against Fulham we ran rings round Jonney Haynes (the brylcream boy!) and co.
72 3-0 Exeter like others can still hear the noise over 23,000 in the ground fantastic.
79/80 4-0 Sheffield U they had Alex Sabella playing for them, he got firmly taken out once by town defense early on and then vanished for the rest of the game.
79/80 2-1 Everton after they scored first a very well worked goal from a corner, in to the near post headed out by their player the bang into the back of the net from the edge of the area, thought we were in for a hammering then Brolly getting 2 think it was the second one he nutmeged Southall, then Everton camped in our half, could still be there and it would still be 2-1, never seen Town so determined to hold a lead, no panic just great defending, played for each other and Tony Ford could have made it safe but shot at the keeper, think he was just too knackered to hit the target.

All great days....the first because it was actually the day I was born!

And the other three matches are some of the best in my lifetime

I am so glad I was there at each of those, in the Pontoon along with the other thousands of Mariners' fans witnessing Town making their mark....

Those were the days my friend  

Far too many to mention, but the West Ham 65 League Cup tie was something else. Anyone remember us beating Hull 1-0 in the 66-7 season when they went up as champions from division 3 and John Fielding scored the winning goal? Thousands of hully gullies in the Osmond with black and gold brollies. Nobody expected the win which made it all the sweeter.
Away it has to be the Wimbledon FACup game

The Exeter and Everton games were superb for atmosphere and for Town performances. I've written about the Everton game before. The Exeter game and the crowd were instrumental in their manager John Newman coming here later on and starting the dynasty that died under Mike Lyons. For atmosphere as well, the 2-2 against West Ham in the League Cup QF against West Ham in 1965 takes some beating.

The Tuesday night of the 7-1 against Scunthorpe was brilliant. At the time Rod Green had been injured and Dave Worthington had filled in at CF for the previous game (or 2?). In fact Town had 3 right backs in the side at Crystal Palace on the Saturday - Jimmy Bloomer at RB, Jim Thompson in midfield and Worthington up front. Bobby Ross had played RW. But Green was back that night with a hat trick and Brian Hill was devastating on the left wing. Clemence was in their goal but as far as I remember, Keegan wasn't in their team. He certainly wasn't in the programme anyway.

The 4-0 against Sheff.U was probably Joe Water's best ever game for Town. They just didn't know how to stop him and the way Drinkell made space for him to get into the box was an object lesson in forward play.

My all time favourite performance from the old days was the night we beat Southampton 3-2 with 2 goals from my hero Chips and one from Ralph Hunt. Johnny Scott and Jimmy Fell were unstoppable that night in 1961. The football from both sides was tremendous. I think Brian Clifton was playing for Southampton but the best player on the pitch by a mile was Don Donovan. Pure class.

One that sticks in my mind is when we beat Wolves 5-1 in the league,

Wilkinson and Lund up front with Drinkell on the bench,

It was on the telly and we completely outplayed a good Wolves team,

I can not remember the exact year,

Oh I do miss Icey.

It was 1984/85 Pete. Seven days later we got tonked 4-2 at a home by a very, very good Fulham side.

3 of my faves:
5-1 against lincoln (08 - 09)
3-0 against gillingham (08 - 09)
