Agree, definitely Highbury as the next time I went was was when my brother lived there!


It was. Here’s the highlights.

The last time we played Arsenal was in 2001, following the win at Anfield. That was most definitely at Highbury. I can remember the state of the bogs in the clock end.


What a trip that was…

Defo done emirates in league cup.

Think u r correct with others

We have also done Derby, Hull, Donny, Stoke, Southampton, Brighton, Millwall, Colchester, Northampton, Bolton, Huddersfield,



I remember going to Stoke away on the train in the mid-90s when they still played at the Victoria Ground. That walk from the station to the ground wasn't for the faint-hearted.

I was there at Highbury that night. Genuinely can't remember a thing about the game! That early goal from Edu absolutely killed it. Don't even remember there being much of an atmosphere, despite travelling in numbers off the back of that incredible night at Liverpool.

I was living in Hertfordshire at the time, remember listening to the draw in a pub full of Arsenal fans in my town shirt praying for Arsenal away, I think they were almost as happy as I was when the numbers came out. I can't remember much of the game asides from Dennis Bergkamp looking like he was going to go past every one of our players every time he got the ball. I watched Town v Spurs in the same pub a few years later and got bought so many drinks after we knocked them out.  

Was actually chatting to A mate the other day trying to remember all the grounds that no longer exist that I've seen town play at. The 90's are A bit hazy but I think this is most of them.

If memory serves me right, I don’t think there were many Arsenal supporters at the game and town took about 6000.

All going well we're in the process of moving house and we are having a massive clear-out.

Admittedly I'm not really a book reader so I'm only taking 5 books with me.

4 of them are my late fathers "AUDELS CARPENTERS AND BUILDERS GUIDE" just can't let them go.
(COPYRIGHT, 1923, 1939 BY THEO. AUDEL & COMPANY Printed in United States Reprinted 1947)

The other being "THE FOOTBALL GROUNDS OF ENGLAND AND WALES" by Simon Inglis.
(WILLOW BOOKS Collins 8 Grafton Street London 1983)

Great book.


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

6000 at Anfield, 3-4000 at Highbury I think. Always been gutted I didn't go, despite the meh game because Highbury was an iconic ground I never got to and I would have seen Bergkamp, one of my favourite ever players, in the flesh
