    Terracing, not all seats.

    Think Arsenal, Chelsea and Leeds all used to average around 15,000 in those days too. A lot of people put off by the racism, hooliganism etc, I guess, plus the Thatcher Factor.

    In the 80's when people did watch football, now get over it.

    That is of course if we believe your ridiculous ad that says you have 49000 seats in your stadium when there are actually 48000.

    Strange club.

    In 1982 our ground couldn't hold anywhere near 52,000, poor effort.

    Shhhhhhhhh, 5 Goals, they don't really have empty seats, it's just that they wear plain red shirts instead of red & white stripes and it looks as if there's nobody sitting in them.






    I could be wrong of course!

    I was at this match! The season was all but over , it was the old second division and we had finished i think 5th missing out on promotion. Thatcher had introduced "members" only and the ground was fenced in. It was also raining. Quite frankly we did well to get 9419!! Capacity was 34,000.

    By the way....three weeks later we signed ...............Kevin Keegan!

    Good post Trev, too many exclamation marks for my liking, but i like the effort.


    If all else fails, blame Thatcher or the weather, then mention a messiah to cheer yourself up a bit at the end.

    That's the illusion you see when you drink heavily before going to the Riverside.

    Tragedy.

    Welcome to the land of milk and honey where there is no rationing, not even on exclamation marks.
