Fabulous day, the old North Stand at its best.

Fabulous day, the old North Stand at its best.

I was there in the East stand with a young nephew of my wife….who has since become a West Ham fan…as you do if you have lived all your life in Bournemouth

Those FA Cup games were fabulous, repeat this year please, with a better end result

Given that young lad I took to the game is now in his 50s I think you may be right!

I went to that game, East stand,as a lad . . .and amazingly, I'm now in my 50's. . . It's like some kind of parallel universe

 

[Crawley Dingo]

First ever game, first time I have seen the goal as I was buried in bodies in the East stand. I became an addict since that day and I cant find a cure.

At Leeds Saturday and even they play a pre-match montage of trophies they've won. It's embarrasing at home as we sit and watch nothing, nothing at all (was Gary Lineker on strike in 1910 when we won something?). Why do we get excited about a game 40 years ago? Because we nearly won something, that's why. You cant sing 'it's coming home' with '113 years of hurt, 113 years of dreaming!'
Time to put some silver in the trophy room, wait, have we got a trophy room?
EDIT How many clubs have their own wiki page all about their trophy wins?

I must say, at times I do feel a little sorry for the younger fans who will never experience the proper 'limbs' of a terrace surge and general madness after a goal like that.

 

[Wozza]

I was there. I am old.

 

[Perfidious Albion]

I was on theEast Terrace too , that day … fabulous memories. It is amazing that the anniversary comes as we look forward to another cup game .

I was there. I am old.

I heard, older than water

We had to watch it from a wall in garden of one of the houses… Got told to move but refused. I told the resident that it wasn’t his wall and to go and get the deeds if he disagreed with my decision to stay put… I saw the goal

 

[Mr Bridger]

Was at the top of the north stand that day, was impressed with the amount of Norwich next to us. Great surge when we scored.
One of the programmes that have survived my programme Cull.

The three absolute stuffings we got in September

I must have erased them as I don’t remember any of them.

Home games were OK though, fortress Goldstone!

Pathetic crowds, probably some VAT avoidance at play

Me too.
I remember the semi final better and all the Case cardboard signs handed out before the game for some strange reason.
My dad’s mate took one and said ‘ I’ll be holding that up if he scores’. He didn’t hVe to wait long.

I saw it from the top floor of one of the houses. Having failed to get in, as luck would have it, my brother in law had a key to one of the houses which was being renovated and he was working on it.

Heady days indeed….I think being 40 years younger then makes them more so than today s great achievements

 

[Motogull]

I was there, probably in front of the lego. Happy days.

 

[Boroseagull]

I was there. I am old.
