How many did you take to either of the Sheffield clubs back in the 80/90's Micky?
Imps took 3,200 to Hillsborough (full allocation) with 100 or so young un's being kettled and sent back home on the train (with tickets) for singing too raucously in a town centre pub before kick-off. Only the upper seats of the Leppings Lane were used incidentally.
I didn't attend due to continual ill-health, but a considerable increase on the 700 or so that went on our last visit in the FA Cup back in 1979.
We took 7000 there around 96-97 time filling the bottom and top tier of Leppings lane https://youtu.be/ouIDh25UsHk |

That commentator was great ... who is it? Shirt colour clash not even questioned? There was some big names playing that day, for both sides to be fair. |

Lincoln fans really have a navigation problem don’t they. They used to find their way to Mansfield Peterborough and Boston in thousands but would get lost on the way to Cleethorpes. And now 2,900 of them seem to have got lost on the way to Wigan last night… |

Rolly Godfrey, I believe he used to manage a few pubs before he went into Commentary 😂 |

Yep, good old Roly, a legend 😁 Who was the knob who ran on the pitch? |

Is there any wonder ... It was hardly the friendliest or warmest of welcomes was it, in a seaside town I'm sure Steven Morrissey sang about once? As for last night, just like old times with the hardy couple of hundred or so, who were rewarded with a victory against a good side who could've gone top of the table. Wealdstone or Wigan, talk about levels  |

Cheap shot I'll admit - but when I saw the crowd and away fan numbers I had to look twice - 302 - surely that's 802 or 502...Great result though. I really don't like these part-time teams from wealthy London areas, that seem to excel in occasionally roughing up the northern "big clubs" - Wrexham bloodied again down there as well as us last night... |

An equally cheap shot in return ... how do you explain 7k at Hillsborough, followed by just 4,197 in the 2nd Tier at BP v Port Vale, you can hardly blame Fenty for that? If its any consolation I went to Wealdstone's old Lower Mead Stadium back in 87' for a dreadful 0-0 draw played in thick fog. |

Excellent - life does imitate art [url]http://codalmighty.com/site/ca.php?article=8152[/url] - where were we when we were good... (I assume credit for that one goes to Tony Butcher) |

I remember 1 game v Port Vale in the 2nd tier when the gate was less than 3500! The stayaways missed a treat though as it was probably our best performance that season and we won 4-1. |
