I would have been at that game also sitting in the Witton Lane stand with my Dad. About 6 rows back approximately 15 yards off the half way line towards the Witton end.I don't have much recall of the game, I have more recall of the next round when we got beat by Rotherham at home. (Rotherham fans in the Trinity enclosure singing Mighty Quinn by Manfred Mann which had just been released - they had a player called John Quinn.) I reckon you would pay more for Cup games than League as the Cup was everything. Although the ticket says 10/-, maybe your ticket had a 5/- perforated piece on the end for junior admission torn off as you went through the turnstile.Against Millwall there was 14k for the league game and 34k for the cup game.Against Rotherham there was 13k for the league game and 33k for the cup game.
As a slight aside, I remember at the time of the Doc's appointment watching some variety programme on the telly and Roy Hudd was on, at least I think it was the telly I could have heard it on the radio but he [Hudd] came out with this little rhyme:He left poor ol' Rotherham,But that didn't bother him, He became a Queens Park Ranger,But left them there in danger,Now he's at the tiller,It's Gawd help poor ol' Aston Villa.Well postedI remember this and have been struggling to remember the full quote, although I think it was, Now his hand is on the tiler, Its gawd help poor Aston Villa
I missed the Rotherham cup-tie as my brother was getting married that day.I've more or less got over it now, though...
