Anyone who was in the crush getting into the Swindon game in 1988 could be forgiven for thinking we had taken 20,000 fans. If I remember right there was also a big crush at Portman Road for our first game of the season.
Went to Blackpool on the special with my old man.Fantastic.Old Trafford 88/89 was special.Molineux 76/77 we had the South Bank; don't know how many but must have been around 20k.

The attendance at the game was 33,000.
Blues away boxing day 82, and Wolves away the year we won the league! obviously Highbury was the ultimate away following for me.
