So, Perseus has been exposed as an absolute charlatan! He's omitted the League Cup defeat at Filbert Street but included one of the preceding draws just to make his statistics stack up
You can't get away with that sort of thing on NSC, mate!

J'les aurai!
I went to all those games, including the six FLC ties, and I don't remember watching Oldham four times in about a month which would have been the case if that 0-0 home draw had indeed been a League match. That second round home leg v. Oldham was also 0-0, but I don't have the League records to accuse Perseus of underhand statistical selection
Well remember that trip to Roker on the charter train. Got badly jostled celebrating both Wardy's goals in those non-segregated days; might have turned into a bit of a beating but for the intervention of a mature local.
was at Roker too that day,think Stevie Piper got one of the goals but anyway,strange because there must of been ,what 200 of us on the train,but Inside the ground we all got spilt up
we were in a group of about 5 or 6 celebrating one of the goals,a couple of minutes later a group of Sunderland come sniffing,remember one saying where the **** are they,we all kept stum,always remember one of them was wearing a Rangers scarf,to be fair to the other locals around us they said nothing
the 3-2 Luton night game was briliant
Bolton brought the biggest Union Jack I've ever seen that season,Bolton Wanderers fitted comfortably on it

Weren't we behind the goal at The Valley that season? I think we were, if it was a night match.

It was the night match when the team arrived late because of the traffic.
Charlton home attendance rose from 6,400 or so the previous Saturday (their averages about then was 11,000) to over 18,000 for the Albion match. Charlton fans on the huge open terrace were outnumbered four to one. And that is assuming they kept a bit quiet when they scored four times.
