Just being in the Pontoon when it was standing, Being lifted off my feet a teenager and going from the top of the Pontoon down to almost the bottom after Town scored. The atmosphere and the characters were awesome. a lot of games I came a way with headache with the noise that was generated in those days.


When I was a kid standing in the Main near the tunnel the ponny looked massive with everyone stood up, loved it, addicted for life.

This is starting to sound like a Harrington St Corner reunion, I was in that bit too as a 12 year old, I remember the Star of the Mirror next morning "Brolly rains on the toffees" springs to mind.

We where spoilt long before we where spoilt!  


Another that was in that corner, squashed up against the fence.

My game would be the one Barra mentioned agin Barnsley. It was crazy in the Ponny when that third went in.

One I would revisit if I could would be the 3-2 win at Chelsea after us being 2-0 down

I was late to the game because I got locked in M&S I’m Oxford Street because of bomb scares in Central London - Harrods was actually the target

The more central tube stations were closed so I had to circumnavigate my way to Stamford Bridge getting there just as they were kicking off.

Too late to get in the Town end though so went in a side stand

Wished I hadn’t made it when we fell behind but then I saw a fantastic comeback from us but couldn’t celebrate at all

If I could see this one again, I’d be smack bang in the middle of our fans, screaming out my support as we come back to rub Chelsea’s noses in it

Quoted from Les Brechin
Here's a random one that most people won't think about.

Away at Reading in the 4th Round FA Cup replay in 1988/89 (I think) when we won 2-1 to secure a trip to Wimbledon, with goals from Shaun Cunnington and Kevin Jobling.

I thought we'd have a couple of hundred or so there that night but we nearly filled the old away end at Elm Park. Must have been about 1500 Town there that night as well as a variety of different inflateables.


Went in the back of a transit van with the CBP of the day fookin long uncomfortable journey but didn't starve as the services got battered and when we got to reading plenty of shenanigans can't remember much about the game tbh
Everton at home or sheff u at home can't really split them

Quoted from Sigone
The Everton 2-1 for me..a young lad in con's  corner stood on his stool  that my big bro made for me..also when we took over Wimbledon away in the f.a cup. I went into the greyhound stadium by mistake, was a better stadium than plough lane.


Forgot that Wimbledon game. It seemed like everything on 4 wheels (less in some cases) had come down for the day. I swear blind the 3C was there. Pete must have been driving it.


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 brother took me to that game, I was 11 and I was gutted at half time. Then we came out and put 3 past them with big Keef scoring a beautiful header, I went ballistic. Great memories.
