Was anyone at this match?

We were due to play Walsall at Fellows Park 3pm kick off. Having hitched from Hove beginning around 4pm on the Friday - tramping up Snakey Hill in a snowstorm I should have known better. But being 16 and full of energy got to Birmingham and slept in a shop doorway in Aston before catching a bus to Walsall the next morning.

Having got there and finding the game postponed due to a snow-covered pitch I got back to Birmingham to watch this game.

Not many memories of the football but there was an enormous crowd boosted by the fact most other matches in the area were cancelled and everyone headed to St Andrews.

As a rider - Graham Cross was playing for Leicester and joined the Albion years later.
