I'm not certain as I only went to BP to sell newspapers initially. It was the 72 promotion season and I soon spent more time watching the footy than trying to earn money flogging the Telewag. I soon got the bullet from my 'job' but I was hooked and haven't missed many games since, 48 years later.

It was against Reading, I think in 1994. Seem to recall Shaka Hislop was playing for them but can’t remember much else other than being in the Upper Findus. I must have been 7 and we got free tickets through school...so that must work 😂

Home to Chesterfield on 27 March 1970. We won 1-0.

FFS, I’ve just realised I’ve been watching Town for over 50 years!!!

Started following Town in the late seventies, say no more I got hooked.

Can't remember which game though.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Town 3-1 Sunderland
Livvo and Forrester with the goals.

Though being small I couldn't see much over the ad hoardings at the ponny end.

1990 Grimsby vs Peterborough, result was a 1-2 loss. I don't really remember much about it other than my relatives from Peterborough visited and went to the game.

More exciting than my first shag, if I'm honest!

Quoted from wigworld
Pre-season friendly against (maybe Lincolnshire cup) against the Scunts, late '70's/early '80's. We won either 2-0 or 2-1.
Didn't go to another game until 2009!  


Whoa, now hang on! Explain yourself please, I’m baffled by this! And whatever the reason, I really feel for you, you missed 1989-1991 and 1998, yet decided to get into it not long before the horrors of 2010?!!!!
