That still hurts. Am I right in thinking it was a Sunday game? I remember getting home to Billingshurst in the evening and my Mum and step-father knew the score. Neither had the slightest interest in the Albion, it was weird to hear them talking about the game. 1-5 at half time if my memory serves me right?

Hmmm, Doesn’t look like Nigel felt very comfortable with this strange man putting his arm round him!
According to 11v11 it was played on Saturday 1st December 1973.
No. It was shown on The Big Match on the Sunday
Horrible cold day. Pretty miserable to watch too! In some ways it didn't seem as one-sided as the score suggests - it was just that every time Bristol Rovers attacked, they scored. I don't think they did match stats back then - they would make interesting reading.

The gallows humour of the Chicken Run: at 1-7 singing "we want 2!". From memory, very few left early. Today, the majority would be chuntering on the train by the time the 5th went in.

At least we got to see some goals after two 0-0 draws at home following Clough and Taylor joining

And the North Stand jumping up and down when they scored more goals. Drafty trip home for their fans though with their coach windows smashed at the Greyhound Stadium.

One of my early games as an 8 year old. The names Warboys and Bannister still traumatise me to this day

Fingerlickin good
Cold but sunny, smash n grab sent a chill up the spine every time they counter attacked
I was there.
I went with my mate and his Dad,----------who was a Bristol Rovers fan.
I didn't say much on the way home.

I do seem to remember shaking my head and laughing a lot.....Waltham and Hersam on the Wednesday following , afternoon kick off due to power restrictions and we lost 4-0. Gwylan and I managed to negotiate getting off PE at school if I remember right and we walked to the Goldstone for an afternoon kick off (nae floodlights). Yet more head shaking and laughing lots.......

Thanks. I bow to your greater knowledge. I’d always thought the BR match came first. Doesn’t make it any better!
