Probably the earliest known film of the Town...........note the Stratton Bank surge and all the hats being waved when putting the Magpies to the sword,and the dog as the teams come out :D

Brilliant.

Did you go to the game?

 :D

Brilliant, love stuff like this. It says location unknown but i assume this is the county ground.

It is...if you look again at the begining of the match you can see the County Hotel i am sure behind the now Town End.

He was there. He went with reg, they met at county ground to sup some ale before the match :-D

The main difference between now and then....was that the players used to come and sup some ale with Leefer and me in the CGH before a game....now they just do it on a Friday night, and are therefore hungover

"iiiiinnnnn 1929..."

great stuff!

A fine strike from Mr Cholmondley Warner.

Good stuff Leefer 8)

If you look at the end of the clip you will see a young Reg being escorted of by a Town player just after the celebrations of the goal...looks like he is wearing a long donkey jacket.

Doesnt the Town End look wierd with no roof, seeing the CG Hotel over the top of it, lovely stuff.

Such an awesome thing to see! Attendances back then still astound me!

There was only 17,500 there that day, I think most of us have been in bigger crowds ar the County Ground but the stands were heaving cos they were so much smaller then.

You can just about pick Reg out at 1:11, the one in the cap halfway along the middle.

Reg was shocked by that result since he had that particular team down as relegation fodder, and he had predicted a crowd of less than 7000.

Love that dog when the players coming out of the tunnel.  :D

I've been going to games since my Dad took me in 92' I can't recall being in a bigger crowd :(

Premiership season we had 3 or 4 attendances comparable but not muchbefore then we often got crowds in excess of that in cup matches, like 28,000 home to Spurs and Wolves in 79, those were the days.

I vaguely remember the Man Utd game at home sat behind the dugout when Cantona left 6 holes in John Moncurs gut.

That is simply stunning.  (Possibly the last time we beat Newcastle as well?!)

Amazing to think that folk have been watching their football at the County Ground for generations now.  We're just the latest in a very long line.  Makes me very proud, as well, to think that our future lies at the County Ground also.  We have room to expand and develop there.  Would be wrong to move away.

No, we beat them a couple of times in the league during Hoddles time. Once when Ardiles was there manager, Would have thought you'd have remembered that one!

Great footage.

We beat them 3 times in 90's....Newcastle have always found it hard going at the CG....just the one win, our record there is worse though....

That win I recall in 64....we got beat 6-1, which for years was the worst home defeat I'd seen at the CG until went down 0-6 to Ipswich.  That day we were undone by the clever scheming of Willie Penman...

that ipswich game was a disgrace, bet craig still has nightmares

my grandad played in that game - wow great stuff Leefer !!

I think he is the last one out the tunnel.

Hate to admit that I left before the end of that game.  So dire.

me too ardiles

Bring back the dog! Was he the Rockin Robin of his day? Club Mascot!

Amazing footage - great goal too! Have that Newcastle!

Didnt he play for Newcastle as well Reg?

Yes, he was playing for Newcastle Leefer  :)

Apologies Reg...long week....thought you meant he undid us while playing for Ipswich :doh:

It was a bit ambiguous..... :)

Jesus H Christ Ardiles you got memory issues? How can you forget the Hoddle v Keegan match? The match featured on the C4 documentary?  That day summed up our class that year.  I remember not fearing anyone at home that year.

I remember leaving Vicarage Road after the Chalkie hattrick singing 'Bring on the Geordies'.  Felt great walking around the vegetable patch that year.

Did you find any decent carrots?   

 :) Too busy singing to look for carrots.

What I also liked about that beating the smug, patronising twat Keegan.  'Even on their own pitch, they were the underdogs.'  Fuck off you stupid haired cunt.
