And the little horn-rimmed bespectacled St John's Ambulance man walking in front of Churchman's. The blue invalid cars parked in the bottom left corner of Churchman's. Players all in black boots.

The surge in the North Stand if there is a goal or a near miss.
The surges back and forth in the North for the 3-2 win over Newcastle in the April sunshine of 1992 were incredible. Probably quite dangerous when you look back. Fun though

That was actually the last game I stood in the old North for. I was in J Block of the West for the rest of that season. Filling in the gaps of those banned post Kiwomya goal!

Now you mention it, I think it was my last one too; missed the 0-0 midweek where we could have clinched pre Oxford. And then was in Pioneer upper for Brighton.

Do you remember the original surges in the mid 70's?
They were scary.
Swear to god, I cannon believe no one died.

Oh the memories!
That Grimsby post match was the most depressed I've been or seen fans after a game of football. Quite bizarre in the circumstances really. The landlord of the Queens Head asked me if somebody had died.

I had to work so was secretly quite pleased we saved the fun for Oxford. I still go back and forth on if 91-92 was more fun than 99-00. Winning at Wembley was great and the Magilton hat-trick lives in my head, but for the buzz of new away grounds and not having a care in the world, I’d say ‘92 edges it for me.
