I was at Wrexham AND Newport as well mate so we’ve seen a lot more shit over the years than a lot of people realise

Indeed we have.
Another particular shit night was at QPR in the cup losing 6-1. Rained all night, pitch like a swamp. Got fucking drenched.
Only saving grace was a relatively short journey home.

Strangely enough though Tim, following us around the country in those days was a very enjoyable experience. People today would suggest that we needed therapy!
Even though you were herded like cattle from stations to grounds, the terraces were shit, the food then would probably make today's fans puke, it was a great time for most and we followed our club no matter what.
I miss those days.

Walk back to station from Filbert street was a bit tasty as I recall, and that was with a police escort.

I remember us beating Arsenal 3-2 at Highbury in 1982 in the pissing rain.
