Noteworthy on two accounts in that that game was the only time I went in the West Stand,( my dad had borrowed a mate of his season tickets) , and I've never thought of this before, but that Slade were the first band I ever saw.

Marvellous flared scenes.

Was Noddy there to see his beloved Wolves?

I believe the opposition that day was Mansfield .... I do recall this recording took several takes as they had to cut out "Who the f*cking hell are you" ....

I thought it was Burnley but my memory may be failing me ..... I do know it was bloody cold!!

Some of the video filmed at Waterhall with mostly Apprentices and reserve team players forced to wear shorts and shirts on a really cold day.
Noddy and co were on an alcohol ban so apprentices were paid a months money to go to the local offy to get them vodka.

I missed this one. Would have been good 8+ years earlier.
Record Mirror reviewed the single upon release, "I'd like to see the oldies make it again, I really would. I always loved their gigs, just for the atmosphere. I think that's what they must have been thinking about when they wrote this song, because it recaptures the football fervour they used to build up. That's why it's a bit sad, because I don't think it's worked. I think they're groping in the dark (not a pleasant occupation when it's just for ideas), looking backwards for their future. The song's got plenty of guts, the typical rasping vocals, all that stuff, but it's missed the goal."[12]

We didn't that year though.

Stout Yoeman - it was on the chilly side and you are correct about the chanting. Brilliant fun - but so were most games in those days.
