walking round the corner and the Fulwell End coming into view.
heart sinking when Tyne-Tess vans outside Clock Stand so guaranteed defeat.
sloppy pre-match pie and the smell of bovril.
Not showing your ST at the top of the stairs as the steward knows everyone.
The unique pre-match smell of Roker
First track on the PA Stylistics - I can't buy you anything.
12 players running onto the Fulwell End
The Roker Roar at kick-off
HT scores on the ABC board and the guy jesting with the Mags score
The hammering of the We Will Rock You beat on the wooden stand.
Scarves up and You'll Never Walk Alone once the game was in the bag.

Hearing "Come on you Reds" for every corner at the Fulwell.

Getting me Dad to stop the car on the way back if we'd won so I could get a Football Echo that I'd read cover to cover several times that night.

The smell of deep heat walking past the players entrance.

Looking on the back of the programme knowing the team printed almost always was the starting eleven.

First sight of the floodlights on a night match, magical sight.
 
"Prooooogggrrrrems"

A long grey haired fella selling them at Roker, sure he does still at the sol near the ticket office, pointed him out to me dad before leeds game. Must have 30 yrs plus under his belt.
 
Standing in the Fulwell
Cheap prices (including pies etc)
Ridiculously bad toilets
Blokes walking away from the match with transistor radios pressed to their ears trying to listen to the other results while everyone else tried to hear too

The numerous characters that travelled up on the Doncaster minibus
Brenda from The Colliery Tavern
Les, Ash and Eddie
Huge away followings we took.
 
Remember watching Arminia Bielefeld beat Borussia Dortmund 1-0 in about 1983. The ground was all open terracing. Dortmund had won the corresponding fixture 11-0 so bit of a turnaround.

Must've been at The Alm then. Bit like me mate, your teams are shite :lol:
