They also sing " you've lost that loving feeling" when they have scored,or when they are winning. Have heard a few teams sing " can't help falling in love " as well as us but can't remember who ?

Hello all.... Long time lurker, first time poster... First Town game I went to see was this one. http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=19970140I was living in Norfolk at the time, so knew a bit about the Norwich team, and before the game told my mate that we'd have to watch out for Darren Eadie and that he was a bit handy. He was pretty much the difference between the sides that day, creating one and scoring two. Not a good start to my Town watching.

That was a dire end to that season. The Norwich game seems to be the first of a run of 5 in which Phil King displaced Drysdale from the side. During that run, we conceded 14 and scored 1; with Drysdale returning for the last few games. Phil eventually moved on in 1999, but never played for us again.

I believe our only defeat at home that season...Watford went on to pip us to the title on goal average.
As far as I remember, for us to finish as champions on goal average, Watford needed to lose their last game 0-3 and we needed to win 3-0. They duly did their bit but we won just 2-0, with Rogers heading (YES HEADING) just over the bar which would have made it 3-0. My memory tells me I was stood behind the Town End goal. Just checked the league table for that year, seems my memory had a senior moment. 0-5 and 5-0 would have done it. I stand by the Rogers header though, and that there were 29,000 in the ground for that Watford match.

At least we stayed in the league that season. The next time I saw them play Norwich, we'd already been relegated, although we won and Hay scored 2

Can't remember whether it was my first, but the first game I can properly remember was 6-0 vs Stoke at the CG. Can remember the Stoke fans doing the conga on the Bank in the pissing rain! Must have been 1989.
Also Blackburn the same season, when it was so foggy you couldn't see the other side of the pitch from the North Stand.
The scum 4-2 away also sticks out, but that might have been the season after.

H vs. Arsenal 0-5 27th of Dec 1993
Missing the first half hour/the first half because a delay at the train station in Bristol. We went to the front office and presented us self as we had been in touch with the club about visiting from Norway.
Don't remember if it was Jon Pollard or another bloke who guided us through the player tunnel and we got to sit above the bench in the section where the injured player and youth team were seated.
Great memories!
