Good suggestion Yossarian.

Off the top of my head, one stand out for me was Birmingham away in 1990 in the Third Division. 0-0 but think we deserved more from the game. Muddy pitch. Big, ramshackle stadium (before St Andrews was redeveloped). What sticks in my memory the most though was the big, raucous Town following. If someone said there was 2000 there I wouldn't be surprised.


I was there. Remember it well.

1964-5 away at Boothferry Park, Hull to see Town get a 3-3 draw. My very first away league game with my dad.

1966-7 vs Scunthorpe 7-1 with Tees and Green both getting hat tricks

1970-1 vs Cambridge United Matt Tees homecoming, he scores in 2-0 win and he puts 3,000 on the gate.

1971-2 away at Brentford lost 2-0 and huge Town following down at Griffin Park. Game was on ITV on Sunday. Had to run through the backstreets to get back to the station in one piece. Sh1t myself.

1980-1 at QPR lost 1-0. Drunk as a skunk. Huge Town following there as we tried our damndest to get three successive promotions.


It was Brian  Hill who got hat trick against Scunthorpe.

1-0 at Rotherham in 2003. Oster scored in injury time.


All I remember about this game is this the Town fans were in amazing voice and it was a party like atmosphere.

The 4-1 win over Rochdale in December 2005, dire in the first half but a different side in the second, special memory of Michael Reddy scoring in the last minute and Tony Gallimore stood disconsolate in the pontoon goal.

Stockport at home 3rd round of the fa cup , early 2000s . They scored in the 81st min to make it 2-1 to them . Cue mass walk out . Bradley Allen scores twice in injury time to win 3-2 . There’s only about 6 of us left in lower at the away end going mental. The ginger copper just left us to goad the Stockport fans with a big grin on his face . Good lad .

- Midweek game vs QPR under Lennie Lawrence (2000ish) at home. 0-1 down at half time. Brought David Nielsen on at half time I think and went 433 with him up top with Livvo and Bradley Allen. Won 3-1 after a great 2nd half and Nielsen was an instant cult hero.

- 1-0 away win at Coventry which got Gordon Strachan the sack the next day.

- random one a mid 90's 1-1 draw with Man City at home late in the season I think, when we had Michael Appleton on loan- who I think scored our goal.

- a Tuesday night game vs Blackburn at home in April 2001. They were on course for automatic promotion to the Prem with Fulham and had Premier League quality throughout their team. But I remember the game for Eyal Berkovic absolutely running the show in one of the best individual displays I've seen at BP. We lost 4-1. Matt Jansen scored a couple for them I think, who was a rising star until his motorbike accident a year or so later.

Quoted from friskneymariner
Wasn't the goal at Birmingham scored by Dave Smith direct from a corner Sept 1998 I think.


If it’s the game I was at then all I can remember was hearing the Queen mother had died on the way home 🤨

The first time I went to Birmingham was 1990 and that was the first time I’d seen a police helicopter used at a football game .
( we had a bit of a reputation back then and so did Birmingham .

Another time I went there was a Sunday morning game that was live on TV , we was still in the massive old standing section and parts of the roof started to collapse .
They moved us all into the home stand seats

Chesterfield away 1990. The Promotion Party at Saltergage; lost 2-0 but a huge following that day in the sunshine.  Nearly ruined by some awful kettling of Town fans in a side street from Derbyshire police which could have ended in tragedy.

Bradford away 1991.  Top of the Old Division 3 and a great 2-0 win.  Peak Buckleyball and another big away following that filled service stations on the M62 and saw a Tom Watson screamer and a Dave Gilbert finish to a classic 90s Town team move.

Dartford Away April 2013, a Tuesday night game.  Just about the point where maybe we thought we were finally getting it together and looking like we might start to look forward to getting out of the Conference.  One nil down and won 2-1 with goals in the last ten minutes.  Great atmosphere.
