[Football] What match have you attended and witnessed the largest aggregate half time score ?

[Invicta]

The 6.1 vs Blackpool was 3.0 at h/t, cant think of a better one since we've been at the Amex?

Was it Peterborough at home ? I know it was 5 - 0 around 1975/1976 as I it was the only home game I missed that season and was gutted !

I remember that game, although I was only 6.

March 1976.

I used to predict the football scores and decided 2-2 for this game. I did so on the basis that Peterborough United was a long and important sounding name.

I remember listening to the radio bulletins. I don't think it was 5-0 that early in the match.

Grimsby 4-3 Burnley, 2002. Game finished in a 6-5 win for Grimsby, the kind of victory I can only dream of these days as we sit firmly at the bottom of the 92 tonight.

That wasn't even the low point of the season. Burnley set two records in April that year - highest scoring half-game of football since the war (HT Burnley 4 Watford 5 - finished 4-7) and only side (so far as I can tell) to concede 7 goals at home in two separate matches in the same month (the other was Burnley 2 Sheffield Wednesday 7, in a season (as so often happens) when Sheff Wed were relegated. That one was 1-3 at half time.

The clue is, Sean Dyche was not the manager.

I'm afraid i witnessed the 2-8 defeat to Bristol rovers.
1-5 at half time.

As did I, was a tad younger then, but none the less supporter. At least Peter stuck with us.

As we had 2,000 fans at Selhurst Park on April 14 2018, I wonder if any of the commenters on this thread have forgotten the 5 goals they witnessed in the first-half that day?

BBC - Crystal Palace 3 - 2 Brighton and Hove Albion

That’s fascinating. I hadn’t realised you’d lost another 11 goal thriller that same season. Scoring 4 (or more) and still losing must be pretty tough, but doing it twice in quick succession. I’d always believed the 6-5 to be a freak result, but those other score lines suggest it was more about the way Burnley set-up.

Anyway, talking about Grimsby vs Burnley on a Brighton forum. Apologies. x
