Is there anyone still at the club from those days? Ray Bloom maybe? (and no I'm not suggesting he made off with it either :lolol:)

I doubt we got "untold riches" from being in the Cup Final anyway.
And what we did have probably went on funding the wages for our failed First Division squad.

I thaught that it would be quite OBVIOUS that I was joking, I didnt realise I had to attach a smilie to emphisise(sp) that point!

And in 1983 I was -4 years old

Ain't that the truth!

At least a couple of the squad were on 10 year contracts, at first division wages, if memory serves.

The money would have been swallowed up by a gigantic wages bill for paying 1st division salaries after relegation to the 2nd tier. We would have been the Portsmouth of the 83/84 season.
