Dead Red Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Was on the pitch with my dad after we clinched promotion against Pompey. Magic day at Highbury for first game in Division 1, but sadly also at White Hart Lane for final game. We will be back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted October 16, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Started going down the Gate in '67, so I was fortunate enough to see many of the Div 1 games and some of the Anglo Scottish cup games as well !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DT The Optimist Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Started going down the Gate in '67, so I was fortunate enough to see many of the Div 1 games and some of the Anglo Scottish cup games as well !!!!One Tony Fitzpatrick comes to mind, who we signed after he played for St Mirren against us ! He was a crab like footballer, sideways ,backwards, never acheived really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Who was the centre half alongside Rodgers in that eleven? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Who was the centre half alongside Rodgers in that eleven?My guess would be Gerry Sweeney, with Trevor Tainton at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 My guess would be Gerry Sweeney, with Trevor Tainton at RB.Probably would have been. He`s not the tallest but not a huge amount of height in the Spurs team either so we might have got away with it. Was Gary Collier injured or had he gone by then? Struggling to remember who replaced him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 alan hay and Geoff merrick Rodgers didn't play who else didn't play, or did we play twelve?Tottenham used to bug me with their numbers, 6 Right Back, 3 Centre Half, 2 Left Back, 5 centre Mid.

ashton_fan Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 I remember going to Tottenham away in the first season (76/77), which was a relegation battle, I think Keith Fear scored our goal. It was a dreadful match, we hardly had a shot till right near the end then pinched the points. It was on MOTD although the highlights didn't last very long. I think Spurs finished bottom that season and were relegated whereas we just escaped at that famous last match at Coventry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis what Crisis ? Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 It's topics like this that remind you how lucky you are to be a football fan....after all we're still in the minority in this city ( as are most supprters for that matter...)Imagine waking up on a Saturday morning in the 70's and NOT going to the gate or whichever ground had the dubious pleasure of our company that day ! It doesn't bear thinking about...Thanks for starting this little trip down memory lane ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretSam Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Yup, vs ManUre (my first game), 1-1, that little ****** Macari scored for them, then Dave "Man Mountain" Ro(d)gers scored for us (although that may be utter toss, my memory's not great). That was it, I was forever red. Loved it. Schoolboy enclosure in front of the Dolman, was only 8-9 years old or so.Later saw us beaten by Liverpool, 3-1.Both games taught me to hate plastic ManUre and Scouse fans who've never been to the North West of England in their lives. But also to love Bristol City, the fans, AG, and going to games <<wipes away tear>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Later saw us beaten by Liverpool, 3-1.yep, saw that one.....Dalglish and Ray Kennedy (2) from memory.I wasn't allowed to see Man Utd, but was allowed to see Leeds - #mumslogic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
