Do you remember getting there early so that you had a barrier to lean on and then

being crushed against it when we scored.

Also half times on a board with letters against each score for reference.

Going to reserve games and being able to walk all the way round the ground.

First going in the Barclay in the early 70's but standing on the bit near the City Syand and just watching it kick off.

Seeing Keelan punch people.
