Interesting theme. Not actually totally sure of first match may have been 1970 or 71. First clearly remembered game would have been the Newport County FAC win in 73. I would have been 10.

The highlight of the day for me was the darts match we had with Slough Town supporters in the pub beforehand. We won that as well. It was indeed an awful venue for the final. I still struggle to understand how the hell Hungerford Town have made it t…
Yes was at the match, some others in that squad and team, David Ley, Keith Dublin. Andy Randall was also a great local keeper playing for Holmer Green etc.
Yeovil another example. Even though I detest them.
@Malone Not really spot on. Watford spent 80 years in the bottom divisions, Burnley 80 years top divisions.
Bit like us in non League. Stevenage were nothing for years lots of name changes no re…
