bolty58 Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Too young for me but my dad always said the turn out at that Huddersfield game in the '70s was massive, he never saw as many Whites away as that day. I missed Hull away in '91 & still regret it. :-({|= I think you are on about a 1-0 win at Hudderfield with Reidy scoring the winner? Bolton filled around two and a half sides of the ground that day. Bumped into Mike Summerbee near the ground who said 'I'm here to watch a decent team for a change' I assumed he meant us! Fond memories of Port Vale away; Mansfield away etc. in them times. BWFC used to take these places over and create fantastic atmospheres. Any of you lads remember Selwyn Froggitt (Bill Maynard) being at many games around that time to watch Frank Worthy play? might be wide of the mark here but having been at the game I'm pretty sure that there were between 16000 and 18000 whites in a crowd of over 24000. There were over 120 coaches in the car park You'd be close to the mark there BGOE. I was in the long side opposite where the players come out and nearest to that cowshed thing the home fans had. When Reidy scored at that end the roar was spine tingling. In amongst the mayhem I had a quick glance round the stadium and it seemed 3 of the 4 sides were a mass of writhing bodies; fists punching the air etc. A bit like that legendary night at Ewood Park when Frankie Worthy buried the winner to take us up.................
