Aw!
I went to this game on my own, and stayed until the end. Shit day.
I went to the Stoke away game (as if that was't bad enough) in 2011.
We lost 2-1, several penalty appeals turned down, harsh red card for us. I've never been so frustrated.
And it was my birthday.
Capital one cup at Bolton.... we got free tickets and got to watch Spurs get pummeled 6-1, mid 90's. Now that has got to be a winner! Or was it 5-1.... we left at 4 if memory serves.
You think it's a bad atmosphere these days, January 18 1975, Spurs. 1 Sheff Utd 3. Attendance 15,000
It was pouring with rain, the stadium was empty, I was standing in the old Paxton road end, the roof didn't cover the majority of the terracing on that end, and it was almost completely empty, just a few hundred fools standing right at the back with the little shelter that was available. 95% of the terrace was empty!
A few months later I was at the Chelsea home game and there were over 50,000 in the ground, a pitch invasion and massive fights on the pitch before the teams came out, we won 2-0, almost guaranteeing survival in the first division.
