    This game was 1/12/79. :-(

    Nope, I wouldn't have got married on a home game against West Ham. I think it might be Cardiff away. On my way home and forgot to get the wife a card. haven;t fixed up to go out because football is on the box. Thought if I could recall how we did that day all those years ago she might be so impressed she would overlook everything............................

    I remember this game because it was the only home game I missed that season.

    We came bottom of the table that season and was relegated to division 3.

    Played 42 - 22 points

    I think this was Mike Bailey's first game as Chief Coach and there was a slightly bigger crowd that day.

    It was 3-2 against Cardiff.

    Gritty got 2 and Les Berry the other to put us 3-0 up.

    Cardiff arrived only 30 minutes before kick off - reason unknown.

    For 31 years I have proudly boasted that I waited for the fixtures to come out before booking the wedding so I didn't miss a home game. I was convinced we won 0-2 at Cardiff. Just shows you I must have done what I was told. I remember an away game at Cardiff where we won 0-4 or 1-4 with Horfield getting a couple. Anyone shed any light on that.

    4th November 1978. Won 4-1 Away.
    Arthur Horsfield was not in the squad, but Terry Brisley got 2, Madden and Robinson the others.
    Jeff Wood saved a penalty after Les Berry had handled.

    The Cardiff manager was sacked 2 days later.
