Sat in the old Shrivvy seats, shit scared climbing the old, rickety steps.
Is there a link to the Adver piece - I'd love to see it.

I think walking and potty training (possibly) were my main achievements that year.

Yes, in 1974 I was 7. I was born in 1967 but I tell you I look damn young for 43. |

v Looton in Feb 74 we played at home and lost in front of 2600...the previous week 3284 turned up to see us get dicked 4-1 by Notts County....perhaps the worst humiliation being the scum had a higher average attendance, one of only 2 examples when in the same div.
Those crowds were so low because games had to be afternoon KO's mid week as floodlights were banned in an effort to conserve electricity, during the 3 day week.
I was there for the Loo town game,the Townend was full of school kids who had bunked off and i was happily one of them!  We had in goal a keeper called Alan Spratley, who was without doubt the worst keeper to ever pull on a Town jersey. |

Think he was all ours...loan players were quite rare back then. We had Jimmy Gabriel that season on loan, I saw him make his debut at Pompey, and he looked and played like a dead man walking....the like of which I hadn't seen since the days of Ken (Rigor Mortis) Keyworth. |
