Four of us travelled to watch City at Scarborough in the middle of winter for what I think was a cup game. It snowed like hell on the way there and we were surprised the game was on. There were well under 1000 there. We counted a dozen city fans in the away section.

 

Taken from when Saturday comes about full mebers cup
Charlton at home to bradford city & birmingham
Only three other non-final matches in the competition’s history attracted more than 20,000 fans and most were played out in front of four-figure crowds. The attendances of 817 and 821 that Charlton brought in for their “home” ties with Bradford and Birmingham in 1986-87 would have looked awesomely bad on the sweeping terraces of the old Valley but the fact that the club was by now sharing at Selhurst Park gives some idea of how far the paying public was prepared to be moved by Full Members Cup fever – not across south London during the rush hour, anyway.
More turned up than i remembered

 

Brilliant story, does anyone remember the Monty Python sketch, which was filmed on the Kop at VP, there was one spectator, Eric Idle, with his massive city scarf and rattle, we were beaten at home by a lot of mad scots, the look on his face has been replicated many times by myself over the years

 

Was that the one where Hanson scored a last minute winner and half the City were doing a lap of the track? Happy days!

 

Did CTC73 run a wally arnold to that one?

 

The honoury gent of this thread..

 

I probably went 8-10 years without missing a home game, but then I got married! Still same 40 odd years on. It was easier not to miss games in those days than it is today where there are too many life distractions?

 

Yeah, I remember those days going to games both home and away. I must admit I wouldn't say my marriage was a distraction... Could use other words!!

 

Aye probable about 40% away as well, maybe more. Patsy’73 and all that! Even though the crowds were small it was good.
