Under the radar memorable Town matches...

Quoted from Posh Harry

I always fondly remember 3-1 away win at PNE. First game of the season, Neil woods scored 2 on his debut, great atmosphere.

They still had a plastic pitch and there was a massive Town following .
My other memory of this game was that a Town fan threw a like Ninja throwing star thing at their keeper and it just missed him .
Also the following Monday in the papers the Chief of Lancashire police saying we was the worst behaved fans he’d ever seen

I
( 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

Rmember that one. Went 1-0 up early but ended up losing 2-1, think the tv was part of the Saint n Greavsie show and their winner was offside?

There was bits of the stand falling down on us in first half, mainly lumps of rust iirc

I always thought it rinshed 1-1 , Tommy Watson scores for us .
I’m probably wrong though , I usually am

A couple of FA Cup ones.

Millwall 1 Grimsby 6 1981/82. 3rd Round. Played on the Tuesday as the game was called off on the Saturday. 1-0 down at half time but absolutely destroyed them in the 2nd half.

Reading 1 Grimsby 2 1988/89. 4th Round replay. A Wednesday night 8pm kick off. Thought there would be abour 3 or 400 Town fans there but we filled that away end at Elm Park. Must have been about 1500 there that night. Also saw the birth of Harry Haddock. They equalised with about 10 minutes left and our players were knackered having given their all but Kevin Jobling seized onto a short backpass and rounded the keeper. Town fans celebrating before he'd even kicked the ball goalwards. Clinched us that trip to Wimbledon in the next round.

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 .

Queen mother died 2002 think we were away to Birmingham that day.

Chesterfield 2 Town 3
Not sure when but it was a massive promotion battle, Joe Waters played when we thought he was out injured.
Went 3-0 up and cruising, then conceded just before half time, then Kev Moore got sent off before they got a second. It was like a siege for the last 15 minutes
The old away terrace at Saltergate was rocking and the game will remain in my memory for ever

Derby 1 Town 3 Boxing Day we hadn`t won away all Season to that point and when we arrived at the pub in Derby the copper said all you GY fans can go in here wont be more than 200 of you . How wrong was he by kick off the away end was rammed with 2-3k Mariners and an Oster inspired Town tore Derby to shreds backed by a wall of noise and it kick started Town on to survival.

Another one Town 6 Burnley 5 on Halloween it was simply ridculous at one point we were genuinley unsure wether we were winning losing or drawing such was the speed of the goals going in. I can only recall a Livvo header because he had not long since being back after the horrendous head injury he suffered earlier that Season.

Charlton 1 Town 3 this was a midweeker played at a near empty Upton Park.As usual a decent Town contingent of around 750-800 turned up and Tony Rees got 2 of 3 goals all scored in a couple of minutes.

One game that sticks in my memory is from the early 2000's (2003?) when we played Barnsley at their place and Gally missed a penalty for them in the last 10-15 minutes or so, and for the rest of the match we were chanting his name.
