Lost 3-0 at Liverpool in the FA Cup 3rd Round.
I remember game this for being bitterly. bitterly cold sat in the stand opposite where the players come out - is it called Kemlyn Road ?
I remember us winning the toss and smiling to myself as we made Liverpool kick to towards the Kop in the "first" half. However, I soon stopped smiling when Ian Rush put them in front in the first minute! A fairly abysmal performance as I remember and my main memory was walking round the record shops before the game and buying a mono copy of the Beatles For Sale LP!
Anyone else almost freeze up there on this day in 1985.

Yes, I was there with my then fiancee (now wife), sitting the same stand. It was, as you say, extremely cold and I think that was the day she realised what she was letting herself in for by agreeing to marry me in May of that year!
neil strevens:
I was there in the main stand. Subjected to locals guffawing at the fighting in the Anfield Road end at half time.

Hovel of a ground then and now. One of my less than looking forward to venues. As for the match we didn’t turn out
