If you could re-live one game what would it be?

Mine would be the win at Liverpool and to see that wonder goal what Jevons scored, The atmosphere was electric and will live with me forever.

I would imagine a few on here would go for the Wembley games, I was at work for Bournemouth and on honeymoon for the Northampton game so missed out unfortunately.  

I have seen many memorable games at BP but the Liverpool away game sticks out for me.

Another very very memorable game was the win at Goodison.


Grimsby and proud!

Without hesitation I'd go for Bournemouth at Wembley. Just the whole experience of getting the train and it being packed with Town fans then Kings Cross and the Tube being the same. I'd never been to Wembley before and the Twin Towers coming into view and knowing Town would be running out there, then the view of Wembley Way from the Tube was actually quite moving. Then the game and Town being really disappointing and going behind before figthing back second half and the golden goal in extra time. Absolutely magic day from start to finish.

Honourable mentions for Middlesbrough away in the FA Cup, Burnley away to get to Wembley and the Liverpool game.

The very first game I ever went to when we beat Exeter 3-0, last game of the 71/72 season when we won the old 4th Division title.

I didn't really see much that day or appreciate what was going on but It'd be great to be back in The Pontoon now with the other 22,000 odd fans in the ground.

I'd settle for 8,000 fans celebrating in the same fashion at the end of this season, please ! - not my 1st game, but totally unforgettable!

The 6.5 Burnley game was a cracker!  Not often you witness 11 goals in one game.

The playoff semi final against Fulham at BP was a cracker too, Great atmosphere and a full house!

2 games stand out for me but there have many many fantastic games over the years.

Home to West Ham in 1965 in the League Cup quarter final was a brilliant match which we should have won but ended drawing 2-2. Of course West Ham boasted several England players in their side and were top notch at the time. The atmosphere and noise when we went ahead twice was something else.

The Fulham play off game at home was an electric atmosphere and I think that was the most nervous I have been at any Town game so that stands out too.

Think I'm going to have to agree with you on this Les, it's the first game I recall being at although my uncle tells me he had taken me to earlier games.  Stood on the wooden fences behind then pontoon goal, think the atmosphere of this day got me well and truly addicted to Town.

Was a close call between this, v Northampton at Wembley in 98, v Everton in 78/79,  v Sheff Utd 79/80 when Kev Drinkell scored a hat trick and we got the old 3rd division championship and probably when we beat Darlington at home 7-2 (78/79 ?), Mike Lester scored 4 I think ! Bloody great times.
