Just watched all of that. Normally “old” football looks absolutely atrocious by today’s standards, but we played some decent stuff in those highlights.Henry Irving said:0 -
We got chased by dirty Leeds and there was a copper standing near our car. As soon as he saw what was happening he disappeared! We literally scrambled away as one swung his leg to boot the car.MuttleyCAFC said:As we were leaving the ground a Birmingham steward shouted 'run for your lives'. In all honesty, I can't recall a nastier atmosphere at any game than that generated by the Leeds fans. I have held a strong dislike for the club ever since.0 -
Fortunately I could run in those days. My knees werent knackered!1

The 1st leg was a Sat 3pm Kick Offgolfaddick said:DOUCHER said:Think the fans who went to Birmingham should also be paraded - wonder how many of us are left or could prove we were there
I was at both but somehow not at the home game. Was that a Sat afternoon ko ? I have memories of being out with then girlfriend & some work colleagues. Memory a bit hazy 38 years ago !McCartney said:

Nice idea but I prefer to be as low key about this as possible it’s the Charlton in me.
no legends parade
no your support is shit
no is that all you take away
no taunting opposition until 2 goals clear with a minute to play
no Wembley chants
infact I’ll sit for 90 minutes fearing the worst it ingrained in me

My thinking too - this may be the warm up act. Not that I'm in any way In The Know.valleynick66 said:
Depends what else they are planning if anything?Covered End said:Stupid planning it for 7.15pm.
I'll be surprised if there's 5,000 in their seats by then.
7.30pm earliest would have been more sensible and encourage fans to be in by then.0 -
Great to see this era remembered, often feels the forgotten period by the club.
Agree it would be better to be nearer to kick off, but I will now ne in the ground in time for this4 -
I watched those games on Ceefax. Strangely stressful, but more entertaining than watching Sunday’s game on tv.6

Was there and at Elland Road, couldn't prove it though if I ever needed to.DOUCHER said:Think the fans who went to Birmingham should also be paraded - wonder how many of us are left or could prove we were there0 -
Flew back from Yugoslavia the day of the home leg and couldn’t get to the game.
Went to Elland road and St Andrews matches.
Always remember some Birmingham fans drinking outside a pub and applauded our coaches as they drove past after the match.1 - Sponsored links:

I'm assuming there'll be not enough useful stewards at turnstiles, bag-check delays, lots of people including me faffing around trying to scan in - so me and the boy were already aiming to get in an hour early anyway - hopefully a good few others have the same idea! Especially now the '87 boys are making an appearance.AFKABartram said:Feels too early to be effective

It's an 8pm kickoff, why would they close those areas 30 minutes before kickoff?fenaddick said:
Think this time the idea is to get you to your seat, especially with the fan zone and fans bar closing only 15 mins afterkillerandflash said:
I never understand why they do these sort of presentations to the crowd when most people aren't there. Indeed the whole point of the Fanzone and the Fan's Bar is to get people to arrive early but NOT go to their seat.AFKABartram said:Feels too early to be effective0 -

I see that they'll be opening the Fanzone and the bars at 4pm. I guess they're hoping a lot of people will be "working from home" on Thursday...fenaddick said:

Glad the pigeons haven’t been dumped over the last few years they’ve been one of the highlights of my day. Usually they camped in the opposition box had to shake things up this yearAFKABartram said:

Could always roll out Johnny Fortune - seeing as it will be 20 years to the day, since his late header.4

Elland Road was scary indeed, them trying to turn the bus back to the station, literally, was a bit dangerous. At least at St Andrews Birmingham kindly turned up to distract the Leeds fans from usElfsborgAddick said:1 -
Don’t the external bars close at 2.30 on Saturdays? Thought that was a licensing requirement.killerandflash said:
