J'les aurai!
i know it's a big ask to cast your mind back 40 years,but i would like to hear the memories of people who were at that game
i wasn't myself,but i've just been reading the programme,pat saward talking about us needing a point for promotion,which we duly got,who scored first?
looking at the league table,we were pretty much already up,cherries couldn't catch us,but mathematically notts county still could,but realistically our goal difference was 5 goals better off than theirs,was there a sense of apprehension in the crowd?
also noticed jack taylor was the referee,he had already been in charge of the 1966 cup final and the 1971 european cup final and of course went on to officiate the 1974 world cup final,a very high profile referee for a 3rd division match
certainly had a fantastic run in,unbeaten in the last 12 games,4 of the last 5 being at home
blackburn 23k
bolton 25k
rotherham 27k
rochdale 34k ?
well over 100,000 fans going through the turnstiles in the space of 2 weeks,not bad for the 3rd division!
this was my first season out the albion,but i was far too young to appreciate just exactly what was happening,pat saward mentions that brighton had scored a few vital goals in the last minute of matches,must of been a fantastic run in to the season
would be great to hear your memories
