Was good like.
Iirc , I got to 16 league away games. Not the best but I lived in Whickham and no internet then. Had to get to Heworth for the supporters bus.

The 76/77 season will always live in my memory, if we'd played in the first half of the season like we did in the second we'd have pissed the f***ing league that year.

Very vague memory of that season. I was at the West Ham game and the West brom game but couldn't really see much.
I recall the programmes were broader than they were long.

Did you know Hazzy and Trevor from through that way. They used to go with the travel club (might have been a bit earlier like)
 
On the last game at roker park when everytime a ball went in the crowd everyone kept them.

Later that game Robbie Fowler picked up the ball after a free kick and stuffed it up his top and ran off.

Quality day out

We went 10 games without scoring a a goal and were within 45 minutes of the longest goalless run in the top division ever, then Holden scored in the Roker.
The place went f***ing ballistic and in the next 3 games the floodgates opened. It was even better than the 73 cup run because we were so deep in the shit at the time that every game was a cup tie.
Brilliant second half of the season til that big chinned bastard cheated us out of what we deserved.

On a Friday night versus Bristol City
 
Yep, dark side now. I told him never to discuss football with me again. Not that I see him now like.
Before his sin, I got him to turf my mothers front garden

Is there a 'Hazzy' shaped bump under it?
