In a bid to lighten the mood, what was everybody's first Town game - I'll start:

I can't honestly remember who we played but it would have been a game in the late seventies.

December 25th 1958

Grimsby Town 1 Sheffield United 2

Town fielded two players who had been to the World Cup that summer Johnny Scott and Mike Cullen

Sat in the Osmond with my Uncle Bill who spent the match looking wistfully across at all his mates getting drunk in the back of the Barratt stand

My dad took me to a game in about 1957, I was 5. On his shoulders in the Barrets. Don’t know who we were playing though. All I remember was God was it noisy.

Town v Bradford City - last home match in the 1955-56 season. We won 2-0 and won the Third Division (North) Championship.

Rochdale away on New Year's Day 2005, rained off at half time, set the tone really.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause
