What was our last sell-out midweek match at the Goldstone?

[Icy Gull]

Ipswich in the League Cup? I remember the ground being rammed, with people up the pylons of the floodlights and on top of the tea hut on the East Stand.

Ipswich in the League Cup?

26,000 so plenty of room!

 

[Icy Gull]

26,000 so plenty of room!

Ah yes the pretendence figures of the 70's, the exact opposite of the ones we have now

 

[Notters]

Not a league or cup game, but a testimonial match for Jimmy Case v Liverpool.
Monday 17 October 94, attendance 15,645 and I'm sure I heard some fans were locked out.

We were locked out don't think we were even that late.

England B vs Italy B was certainly full. Wasn't the last floodlit game against Mullery's Barnet officially a sellout?

I think this is the correct answer.

For a league game when the Goldstone was fully open.........?.....Darlington the year we won the Division four championship. The ground was packed that night .......?...I think in excess of 30,000

Wasn't the last floodlit game against Mullery's Barnet officially a sellout?

It was certainly close to a sell-out although Barnet didn't bring many as they were stuck in mid-table. Alan Mullery had just left before that game if my memory is right. Tremendous atmosphere that night in a crucial 1-0 win for the Albion.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

That was a Sunday lunchtime wasn't it?

Yes it was.

 

[Stat Brother]

Yes it was.

But it MAY not have been.

Chances are we're all wrong.

Wasn't this the Tottenham league game with the North Stand's last stand on the tea hut?

 

[Caveman]

Play off 1st leg against Millwall?

See my signature, if you look closely I'm in there somewhere , was a Sunday though.

 

[tronnogull]

Wolves in League Cup, 1969. Capacity crowd, I think about 33,000. Lost 3-2.

 

[Lincoln Imp]

Play off 1st leg against Millwall?

No, not another snotty put-down. Instead, gratitude to you for reminding me of Codner's glorious goal. Was is Parris who did that lovely pass near the halfway line to set it up?

Yes all he goals are on youtube.

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Missed the home game (sunday lunch) went to away game!

Same here - was feeling really ill and didn't want to miss the game. I struggled to make it from my bed to the front door so gave up - a feat even less remarkable as I was living in a bungalow at the time!

Recovered in time to go to the away leg and all of the joy that went with it.

 

[Jam The Man]

Mike Small laid it off to Codner. Parris didn't arrive until a couple of years later

 

[Barham's tash]

With a reduced capacity it would have been the 1-0 victory against Barnet two weeks before the Doncaster game. 1-0 with a chested goal by Ian Baird about 11k I think but I know it was sold out.

Was that Codners greatest for us? Mind we did go for it at The Den.
