Nah. What always pissed me off about that was people used to smoke but when holding it in their hand have their arm outstretched so if just blows in someone else's face.

Just remembered the air horn that sounded when we scored in the early 80s. For the life of me, I can't remember what the name of the tune was or from.

The surges back and forth in the North for the 3-2 win over Newcastle in the April sunshine of 1992 were incredible. Probably quite dangerous when you look back. Fun though

That was actually the last game I stood in the old North for. I was in J Block of the West for the rest of that season. Filling in the gaps of those banned post Kiwomya goal!

I certainly don't miss arriving 2 hours early to get a good spot. Didn't like it back then and would hate it now. Sorry.

Now you mention it, I think it was my last one too; missed the 0-0 midweek where we could have clinched pre Oxford. And then was in Pioneer upper for Brighton.

Oh the memories!

Do you remember the original surges in the mid 70's?

They were scary.

That Grimsby post match was the most depressed I've been or seen fans after a game of football. Quite bizarre in the circumstances really. The landlord of the Queens Head asked me if somebody had died.

I had to work so was secretly quite pleased we saved the fun for Oxford. I still go back and forth on if 91-92 was more fun than 99-00. Winning at Wembley was great and the Magilton hat-trick lives in my head, but for the buzz of new away grounds and not having a care in the world, I’d say ‘92 edges it for me.
