[mune ni kamome]

I was there for both of them. I seem to remember Wisbech played all in red for what it's worth

 

[severnside gull]

Yes. I was there for both. My first "ever present" season at the Goldstone

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Me too, red and white stripes I thought for Wisbech, although it was 48 years ago
My 1st full season too, 1st game at home to Millwall middle of '64 season

 

[BensGrandad]

I was there for both we were 3-0 up at half time in both games. The great Jesse Pye played fort Wisbech who I thought wore Black shorts and White shirts but I may be wrong.

 

[Geriatric Seagull]

Went to both. Wisbech in red. Ironically, I refereed Wisbech many times in the 80's and got to know their secretary and directors quite well. Several of them had been to the game and remembered it well! Naturally, I took great delighting mentioning it every so often! After the Southend gam we played Bedford in the next round- and lost after a replay!

 

[pork pie]

Nope, saw the Bristol Rovers 8-2, revenge was sweet at the greyhound stadium. I bet their trip home was uncomfortable! lol

 

[Daffy Duck]

Was there for both games.
Behind the south goal for Wisbech and east terrace for Southend.
19 goals in 2 games. Don't think I'll ever see that again.

[BensGrandad]

I was newly married at the time and agred with wife I would score everytime Brighton did, I think that she still owes me a couple

 

[BobbySmith]

[northstandsteve]

My first full season with my Dad, on the chicken run, sitting on the wall near north east corner, my spot until allowed into the North Stand on my own in 1969-70, where i stood in the same area until closure.

Great times... remembered but bloody exciting now..

 

[mona]

I was there for both but remember the Wisbech game better. Oddly Southend became a bit of a jinx club for us after that magnificent thrashing.

After Wisbech I decided that it would likely to be an anticlimax the following week and missed it. I had to wait for Bedford for the anticlimax, and had to wait a whole 90 minutes for the equaliser. Even worse, there was an audio stream for the Bedford away defeat.
