The Newcastle game was on my 10th birthday.
Two goals in quick succession are always great.

Surely you can remember Andy Mutch and the somersault?
Pic on my office wall....
Well I was about 4 at the time and wouldn't have been able to see it anyway!

There's got to be a Youtube clip of the Grandstand opening that included the Mutch Flip and Point.
Lovely stuff.

16 Sept 1986
Swindon 2 Blackpool 6
Stood on the Town End, what a terrible but realistic way to realise life as a Town fan !
Wasnt that the game where Alan Mayes ran the show for Blackpool ? I remember standing in the Shrivenham Road stand with my dad, he was applauding Mayes, when just about everyone else was ready to kick off. First time I remember being a little bit scared at a match ![Embarrassed](//thetownend.com/Smileys/tefsmile/blush.gif)

The one who did go on was Paul Stewart, he got one on the night....went on to Spurs and played for England. 3 players never played for Macari again after that night.....Kenny Allen, David Cole, stalwarts of the Div 4 champions, and Lingy who'd arrived in the summer.

Early '83. Port Vale at home. Won 1-0. They wore yellow. Never seen so many people in one place. 5 years old, just turning 6. I chose my team for life on that day. Every time I go in the NS, my nostrils are still filled with smell of cigars despite it being non-smoking for 20 odd years.

There used to be an old boy in the arkells, the cigar he smoked would last the whole game. damn thing must have been a foot long before he sparked it.

Mine was in the 2004/05 season vs Bradford at home. Can't really remember anything about that game, I think I went to a few with my uncle that season ![Cheesy](//thetownend.com/Smileys/tefsmile/cheesy.gif) , but my earliest memories of watching Swindon was in the 2005/06 season when we got relegated.

The one who did go on was Paul Stewart, he got one on the night....went on to Spurs and played for England.
3 players never played for Macari again after that night.....Kenny Allen, David Cole, stalwarts of the Div 4 champions, and Lingy who'd arrived in the summer.
I'd forgotten about Ling's first spell at the club and didn't realise he'd played in that game. What I remember about the game was that when the 3rd or 4th Blackpool goal went in a few fans started booing and singing "what a load of rubbish" and they were quickly shouted down - the Town End then started up with "Lou Macari's red and white army" and it went on for practically the rest of the match. The Town players noticeably raised their game and made a fight of it.....and it seemed to kick the season. After a slow start to the season we never looked back from then on.....or that's how I remember it anyway. Then again maybe the tears have blurred the memories a little bit....... I remember Mayes scoring at the Town End though.

Swindon 0 Ipswich 1 27th March 1948. My brother took me, and knew our goalkeeper Norman Uprichard personally. Can't remember much else.

Thanks Costanza. I think I remember him, and later, plus Bob Edwards, Harry Lunn, Garth Hudson, Peart, Onslow, George Hunt, Jimmy Bain, and a few others. ![Smiley](//thetownend.com/Smileys/tefsmile/smiley.gif)
