Cheers 38, were is St Andrews, not been in there do they, do they do a happy hour?

Just for you this one 38, & probably Jacko too. Oh...& not forgetting Mirf

Sat 18th March 1972. after initial excitement. I was right pigged off that day ?

St Andrews
BCFC............................HTFC
1. Dave Latchford........1. Dave Lawson.
2. Carroll........................2. Clarke (NO . not him !)
3. Pendrey.....................3. Hutt
4. Page..........................4. Steve Smith.
5. Hynd...........................5. Ellam.
6. Harland......................6. Cherry.
7. Campbell...................7.Dave Smith.
8. Francis.......................8. Dolan.
9. (BstD ) Latchford......9. Worthington.
10. Hatton......................10. Lawson.
11 Taylor........................11. Chapman.

Them, 2nd div, Us, 1st div.
FA Cup Quarter final. WE LOST 3-1 52,000 !
Interesting to note, all these years on...
No Nicholson.
no Krzywicki.
no McGill.
no Poole ....hence B'-std Latchford !

Qued up for tickets to this one.
Thought there were 'thousands' going.
Brummies behind the goal.....
Brummies filling the touchline terrace
NO Town fans anywhere ?????
Took a kicking & a slap when Town scored
nightmare waiting for the Bus home, akin to 'Hide & seek' ....
& Yeah, 'They' (ALL) sang 'Keep right on to the end of the road' way back then...
The programme was 7p (with Football League Review)
Robbin' 'stewards !!! I'm sure our's was 5p at that time
Never been back since.

Just a 'bit more' especially for Mirf.

Latchford & Hatton were Division 2 top scorers with 22 & 21 respectively prior to this FA Cup tie,
Brum were 4th in the league behind Millwall (!) Norwich & Sunderland. Their best home gate up to this point was 40,899 ! With 29,753 being their 'Average'
(Villa were in the 3rd then...top & getting Mid 30's !!!)

contrast TOWN's fortunes at that time,
2nd bottom of the '1st'.
best home gate was 33,458. with an average of just 16,535....the lowest by a country mile So yeah, to average just 16 thou....we had some 'Shockers' (9 thou against WBA )

All our yesterdays ....The 'Terrace' was always overrun by the opposition support, Out sang, out numbered...
Has much really changed ?

Yeah darn, 5 of us went down in a Mini, via manchester piccadilly for some unknown reason. we stood at the back of that big open terrace ...there was no segregation then so all town fans were mingled in I think...there were thousands who went down.

That blimming Latchford flattened lawson as well didn't he ?

Don't remember anything after game, probably p1$$ed...

latchford did poole as well... bstard""""

posted on 6/10/12

He did Jacko.
Walloped both our goalies.. (broke Poole's leg. he was never the same after that.)
You were 'Peaced' Buddy ! That 'open' terrace was covered...but the corners were out in the open..where I ended up in a vain attempt to find some fellow town fans...I'd gone darn on mi own -by Bus-

The thing that 'stuck' with me on the way out of Birmingham on the way home.....
The amount of 'mods' on scooters with Villa scarves tied on the mirrors at the front ...they seemed to be everywhere.

Wethers...............It was LATCHFORD who was the B-A -S-T -A-R-D not us..........& Less of the 'old'

there was no roof above me, must have been in the corner...i know it was packed out..weren't the town fans behind the goals ??...

i was only 6...

posted on 6/10/12

"I was only 6"

another Jim Royal ......"6 My A re-s"

I thought that Jacko, Town fans behind the goal....after I'd walked into the back of the side terrace to a throng of 'Yo Yo's' .... Thank 'fork' they had the same scarfs..

So. I ventured to the Mob behind the goal, only to find that that was also the BCFC 'Neanderthal' section too...as well as ....an all ..
straight up Jacko. I couldn't find a 'group' of Town fans anywhere. hence the 'slap & tickle' when we scored, I suppose I could have kept quiet, but.... well, you know how it is,

i don't think there was any segregation...we was all mingled up together..or maybe it just felt that way...i remember that bloody great clock they had...actually it was just a week after my 22nd birthday...and i remember us crashing the Mini through a hedge into a fire station front garden ...that was bad...
