Title: Most atmospheric games Post by: kerry red on Friday, May 11, 2012, 16:57:10 Another 'All Our Yesterdays' theme, but I reckon the atmosphere, with a definite undercurrent of violence, that was cracking was Swindon v Millwall in the League Cup quarter final.
Jeez, there was some nasty moments on the concourse at half time! Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Peter Venkman on Friday, May 11, 2012, 17:05:25 Swindon vs Arsenal December 79, League Cup 1/4 final.
Incredible. Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Only Me on Friday, May 11, 2012, 17:11:23 Another 'All Our Yesterdays' theme, but I reckon the atmosphere, with a definite undercurrent of violence, that was cracking was Swindon v Millwall in the League Cup quarter final. Jeez, there was some nasty moments on the concourse at half time! Fights broke out all over the ground that evening Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: hanneyred on Friday, May 11, 2012, 17:43:15 Leeds away in the league cup was special, but blackpool away when we won the league in 96 or wembley 90/93
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: leefer on Friday, May 11, 2012, 17:51:15 Swindon vs Arsenal December 79, League Cup 1/4 final. Incredible. Best ever for me......the Millwall match was juicy.....was sweet hammering them on the pitch that night. Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: ronnie21 on Friday, May 11, 2012, 18:04:41 One of the best for me was when we beat West Ham in a FA Cup replay, 3-1 I think. West Ham had Bobby Moore, Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst amongst their team!! Sorry but we are going back to the 60's for that one - I thought the atmosphere for the Crawley home game this season was the best for any home game this time.
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Ardiles on Friday, May 11, 2012, 18:39:04 Sunderland at home. First game of the 1992/93 promotion season. Electric...even before Hoddle scored his piledriver.
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: suttonred on Friday, May 11, 2012, 18:43:55 Wolves away leg of the league cup semi.
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: donkey on Friday, May 11, 2012, 18:53:03 Milwall at home in the Cup was great, of course, Jan's goal was magnificent.
I thoroughly enjoyed beating Leeds 3-0 away, too. The second half was a mixture of a party and disbelief. Also, Tranmere away in the playoffs, although that may just be the end of the game that has such a special place in the memory. Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: No Longer Posh Red on Friday, May 11, 2012, 18:53:23 Swindon vs Arsenal December 79, League Cup 1/4 final. Incredible. No game will ever beat this for me. I guess it did help that it was my 16th Birthday :D Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Boy About Town on Friday, May 11, 2012, 19:13:19 Charlton in the away leg of the playoff campaign, greatest game I have watched us lose.... Memories.....
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Notts red on Friday, May 11, 2012, 19:14:38 Wolves away leg of the league cup semi. Great atmosphere although the pitch was bloody miles away from the terrace, can't remember if there was a running track but we were a long way back. Also the Arsenal game in 79. Agree about Crawley this season, really loud and non stop.Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Costanza on Friday, May 11, 2012, 19:16:02 I've not been blessed with going to many games with truly great atmospheres.
We were in good form at Bristol City (Darius Henderson brace). Most of, if not all, the best atmospheres have been with Town in the away end. Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Notts red on Friday, May 11, 2012, 19:19:39 I've not been blessed with going to many games with truly great atmospheres. City away in the game we were relegated, we knew it was coming but totally out sang them regardless. Also think we may of stopped them getting in the playoffs with the draw.We were in good form at Bristol City (Darius Henderson brace). Most of, if not all, the best atmospheres have been with Town in the away end. Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: WR5 on Friday, May 11, 2012, 19:34:45 Swindon vs Arsenal December 79, League Cup 1/4 final. Incredible. This was my first really big game Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Costanza on Friday, May 11, 2012, 19:36:39 Oh as I mentioned the other week, the Swindon Town 2-3 Blackburn Rovers atmosphere was brilliant. I was right at the back of the Statton Bank, the CG went mental.
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: No Longer Posh Red on Friday, May 11, 2012, 19:38:58 The game at City that finished 1-1 in 1987 (I think) where we kept them out of the play-offs (and let the pikeys in).
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Reg Smeeton on Friday, May 11, 2012, 19:52:28 The game at City that finished 1-1 in 1987 (I think) where we kept them out of the play-offs (and let the pikeys in). You'd think they'd show a bit more gratitude :) Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: tans on Friday, May 11, 2012, 20:31:31 Oh as I mentioned the other week, the Swindon Town 2-3 Blackburn Rovers atmosphere was brilliant. I was right at the back of the Statton Bank, the CG went mental. I was in the TE for that and got smacked in the face by a wayward Alan Shearer shot. Never liked the cunt after that Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: ekarot on Friday, May 11, 2012, 20:52:39 Stoke away a few days after Lou,fridge and hillier were arrested was ace.Boiling hot day and a real togetherness amongst the fans.And a pitch invasion before the final whistle by hundreds of stokies which was a bit scary as they approached us and then applauded us just as we were about to get on too.Also Blackburn away a few weeks later was good.Arsenal spurs and wolves home late 70 s very special to this little boy of 13
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: ronnie21 on Friday, May 11, 2012, 21:03:16 I was in the TE for that and got smacked in the face by a wayward Alan Shearer shot. Ah, that answers a lot of questions about why you are so fucking ugly then!!!Never liked the cunt after that Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Arriba on Friday, May 11, 2012, 21:04:36 Stoke away a few days after Lou,fridge and hillier were arrested was ace.Boiling hot day and a real togetherness amongst the fans.And a pitch invasion before the final whistle by hundreds of stokies which was a bit scary as they approached us and then applauded us just as we were about to get on too.Also Blackburn away a few weeks later was good.Arsenal spurs and wolves home late 70 s very special to this little boy of 13 Agree about stoke. Mentioned it on here before myself in a similar thread. Atmosphere was the best i've encountered anywhere. We clinched a play off place and they went down that day. Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: kerry red on Friday, May 11, 2012, 21:51:39 Luton away in the Simod Cup was awesome - Bamber was cheated that day.
Everton and Sheff Wed away in the PL were class days/evenings Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: dave_bambers_right_sock on Friday, May 11, 2012, 21:59:00 Luton away in the Simod Cup was awesome - Bamber was cheated that day. IIRC That was where he thought he was offside with a 1 on 1 with the keeper. Luton's got a Shit ground, just remember that scoreboard with 'come on you hatters' had a nightmare trip back car broke down got back about 3 or 4 in the morning.I fucking hate Luton Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: reeves4england on Friday, May 11, 2012, 22:05:20 One of the best for me was when we beat West Ham in a FA Cup replay, 3-1 I think. West Ham had Bobby Moore, Martin Peters and Geoff Hurst amongst their team!! Sorry but we are going back to the 60's for that one - I thought the atmosphere for the Crawley home game this season was the best for any home game this time. Have to agree with that - not seen the Town faithful so united in despising an opponent for a long time! The fans really were behind the players for every kick and every tackle that game. Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Gnasher on Friday, May 11, 2012, 22:08:50 Sheffield United away, our first game in the Prem. 3000 very excited town fans in dreamland (until they scored).
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: kerry red on Friday, May 11, 2012, 22:15:44 Tranmere away in the play-offs - had a great day out.
My most hated game, though, was Everton away FA Cup replay - what a bunch of scouse cunts they were. I remember one Swindon fan getting out of ambulance at Lime Street with hand bandaged up - where our northern rascals tried to cut his finger off to get at his wedding ring. Wrexham away in the League Cup in the 70s was an epic day out on the old football special Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: JanTheMan on Friday, May 11, 2012, 22:26:14 Bolton away in the league cup semi for me, well it was for 70mins. I cried that night. And it snowed. Cnuts.
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: THE FLASH on Friday, May 11, 2012, 23:10:57 Town v bmuff in the Macari days.....atmosphere was explosive...
Kick off delayed and everything. Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: NZrobin on Friday, May 11, 2012, 23:17:50 Some wonderful memories...especially at home to West Ham in the FA Cup in 65. The replay with Arsenal in the 4-3 win and lets not forget beating Fulham 5-0.
However, surely it must be the league cup final in 69 ? The chant of SWINDON SWINDON SWINDON SWINDON at the end of normal time and before extra time will live with me for ever. Wonderful memories and lets hope more will come in the future...... Come on you reds... :clap: Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: TheMajorSTFC on Friday, May 11, 2012, 23:35:55 Too many for me to choose from...
Sunderland end of season 97-98 was quality (I was mascot that day) Bristol City when Alan Reeves scored the 81st minute winner (the away end went fookin mental) Leeds United home and away during play off season, League Cup away 2003/4 season Crawley at home this season Walsall at home 06/07 promotion season + the rest I'll remember when you guys put them up!!! Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: SuggWillSugg MBE on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 02:01:57 Charlton Away playoff second leg 09/10 season
That is all. Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: china red on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 04:58:54 Blackburn away in the 90's playoffs, used to love the ticker tape. Lids in the league cup was great until Paul Robinsons goal.
I also have vague memories of a game against Brighton at the Goldstone ground, rained on us the whole game, 3-0 down and managed to get it back to 3-3 (I also think White had a goal disallowed in the last minute). Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Nomoreheroes on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 06:23:02 Town v bmuff in the Macari days.....atmosphere was explosive... Agree with you there. Both at home and away. Lots of stuff thrown into the Stratton Bank and I remember almost being impaled with a seat at their place!Kick off delayed and everything. Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Matchworn Shirts on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 07:06:02 Charlton Away playoff second leg 09/10 season That is all. an amazing game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zq1tsNiJXMQ Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: DV on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 07:16:45 we should so try and sign that son of bitch for next season!!
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Only Me on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 07:30:20 I thought the atmosphere at the Newcastle cup trip (betting scandal one) was superb
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Nomoreheroes on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 08:01:46 Simod Cup at Pompey and Luton are another two that stick in my mind. Along with away at Bristol Rovers playing at Ashton Gate.
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: kerry red on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 08:13:48 What about the home game against Chester when we won the League with Lou - 4-1?
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: wokinghamred on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 08:17:16 What about the home game against Chester when we won the League with Lou - 4-1? 4-2 wasn't it ? 2-1 down at half time and we missed a penalty. Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: kerry red on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 08:20:00 Could well be.
Getting on a bit and losing brain cells on a daily basis Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: wokinghamred on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 08:26:33 Could well be. Getting on a bit and losing brain cells on a daily basis A fantastic night. I took two Spurs supporters and they couldn't believe the atmosphere. Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Not that Nice If I'm Honest on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 08:30:46 Wolves away leg of the league cup semi. Loved it !! Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Not that Nice If I'm Honest on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 08:36:29 Hold on a minute...............were none of you at the Swindon V Oxford game with the smoke bomb ? I was in the Town End - electric Oxford going for Promotion, Swindon trying to stay up, Oxford all over us, smoke bomb thrown in goal, Swindon attack, goalie can't see anything, Swindon score, Town End disbelieving bedlam. Oxford fans rip up ground, chaos outside remember it now ? How can that not be the best atmoshpere ever ? (Newport away when we went down into L4 comes a close second) Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Hoboken on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 08:39:18 Anyone remember the 0-0 draw away at Brentford? We had both centre forwards sent off within around 20 minutes, then played brilliantly for the rest of the game. We nearly even sneaked a win. I remember at the end of the game, the Brentford keeper turning around to us and applaud us. A great memory!
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Crispy on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 09:05:15 Games I've personally been to -
Brighton at home in the Play-off Winning 3-0 at Elland Road Loosing to Wolves on Penalties in the league cup Both Charlton play-off legs but the best was defo the away leg! Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Peter Venkman on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 09:24:03 Another game of note with a fantastic atmosphere was away at Ipswich in 85 when we got mullered 6-1 when we had nearly 6,000 travelling fans in a crowd of 12,000 on a Tuesday night in the League Cup, awesome atmosphere from the Town fans.
Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Bedford Red on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 09:33:01 Agree about stoke. Mentioned it on here before myself in a similar thread. Atmosphere was the best i've encountered anywhere. We clinched a play off place and they went down that day. This was one of my best away days also.... Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: Crispy on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 09:33:58 Strangely loosing 7-1 at Nottingham Forest was also a great away day!

I remember at the end of the game, the Brentford keeper turning around to us and applaud us. A great memory!

Yes, forgot about that one. That's going back a bit. The one goal was an own goal as wellTitle: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: cheltred69 on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 09:43:38 A few of the best for me:
West Ham home cup 1977 (ish) - packed Town End Wolves away league cup semi 1980 Selhurst Park play-off vs Pikeys 1987 Pox 2 Town 4 after being 2-0 down in 7 mins - early 90s All a long while ago, perhaps time embelishes some of the memories. Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: leefer on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 09:52:58 Blackburn away in the 90's playoffs, used to love the ticker tape.

Went to that Brighton game....Peter Ward springs to mind. Used to love going to the Goldstone...similar to Loftus Road for Atmosphere. Stoke match when we was two down in the cup was good as well. My favourite all time away day was Swansea away on boxing day in 79.....we beat them 2-1(there only home defeat that season i believe) We took thousands...i went by train special.

And, of course, this is the game that gave the user name of the famous 'Eric Read' personna on the yellows forum - that was the name of the ref in that game (Newport away when we went down into L4 comes a close second) Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: ghanimah on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 11:01:52 And, of course, this is the game that gave the user name of the famous 'Eric Read' personna on the yellows forum - that was the name of the ref in that game Ah, I didn't know that - I presume it was this game (before my time) http://www.swindon-town-fc.co.uk/MatchCentre.asp?MatchID=19820143 Title: Re: Most atmospheric games Post by: bassett boy on Saturday, May 12, 2012, 11:08:01 Arsenal away and home in the league cup
