Who went to Gay Meadow in 1982 for 5th round FA cup exit ? on 08:16 - Feb 11 with 2513 views | Bluespeed225 | Yup, think we were top of the ,eagle at the time, but the Cup was so highly valued we still wanted it. Liverpool went on an unbelievable run, Butcher had done his nose in the previous round and was out for a stretch, we lost the League Cup semi around this time, but Brazil also bagged 5 against Southampton about then? On way home we pulled into services, Norwich had been at West Brom I think. You can imagine. The police bought one of their injured onto our coach to try and identify a culprit. |  | |  |
Who went to Gay Meadow in 1982 for 5th round FA cup exit ? on 10:07 - Feb 11 with 2418 views | longtimefan | I went to one of the three cup matches against them in the early 80s but not 100% certain which one. I remember we lost, so it was either the 82 or 84 game, not the one 81 which was a draw. |  | |  |

Not sure what the the current term is - probably something like Gay piece of arable land which may me used for animals to graze on but only if they are left to enjoy their live and arent used as part of the human food chain |  |

I couldn't believe they would show their faces after such embarrassment. |  | |  |

After being escorted outside we all had to pee behind the coach, rivers of steam😂. Their lad had a big comedy bandage round his head I seem to remember, but did look in a bad way. |  | |  |

When we played them in 81 in the cup our Special train pulled into Peterborough where it sat for about 20 mins. All of a sudden a train of yellow and green pulled up next to it, they had just been beaten 6 - 0 at Man C. There was no track and no bridge inbetween, there was just one copper on the platform and I swear he smashed his head with the palm of his hands in an "Oh feck" moment. |  |

I was on that train your Lordship(the Ipswich one). My memory tells me that a load more coppers appeared on that platform pretty swiftly but my memory might not be correct. |  | |  |

I too was on that train - everything went quiet, then a few bottles got thrown. A lot of shouting and then our train pulled out. |  | |  |
