But think I was the only one at Vetch Field ( not Hey), Swansea in 1982. Makes 14 to West Ham seem like a crowd 😂

substh.bsky.social•100 days ago

Having a lovely hour sitting googling old football grounds while I’m waiting for a flight. It’s bringing back so many memories. I really miss going to away games.

The worst ground I’ve ever visited. Truly terrible.

davew1878.bsky.social•101 days ago

But what a day in 84
First time I ‘believed’
Nobody was beating us that day

stuartguy.bsky.social•101 days ago

May well have saved Kendall’s job as well that day, the rest as they say is history.
Remember it being a terrible journey down, don’t think the M40 was open then.

davew1878.bsky.social•100 days ago

It was. I remember being ‘escorted’ through the town centre. Bricks galore.
Was the game where Andy Gray wore the yellow strip (well they all did but I remember him)
