    I’m confused too. Is it meant to read 1985?

    Definitely 1985....

    I would normally have been there, but ended up in the Jimmy Seed. In the previous games that season, you could swing a cat on that terrace (albeit a small cat)..

    Looks pretty crowded and a large Police presence. Don’t remember that corner terrace being that packed very often.

    That’s not a bucket, it’s a funeral directors hat that my cousin made for the day.

    Yep, I'm there. Far right hand side, half way up, half turned, smiling and wearing a short sleeve shirt and a sleeveless jumper, which was known back then as a tank top. I would have been 31 years old. God, doesn't time fly!
    On that day, most of the Covered End had de-camped to the terrace between the Old Stand and the Covered End. It was always going to end in a pitch invasion, hence why the terrace was packed and why the police were there. At the final whistle, the police didn't stand a chance of preventing it, and gave up within a couple of minutes.
