It was the season before i started going regularly. Was a paper seller at BP in the 70/71 season and again the following season until i started to spend more time watching the game than selling newspapers. By the end of the 71/72 season i was hooked for life having given up the paper job mid season. First time i went to Scunthorpe was when the train got trashed on the way home. What year was that?

I was at that game and I seem to remember than Scunny hooligans threw glass bottles at the stand roof, so that they burst above our supporters. I was in a side stand and was near to the old guy who used to shout 'Up the Mariners' in a really slow drawn out manner. I think he was the same guy who used to shout 'Evening Telegrouf.'

I remember that, most seasons around that time both sets of fans stood in the same stand, usually the Donny Road end baiting each other.

We walked to the other end at half-time as we were attacking that way in the second half.

Your memory can't be that bad if you can remember how much your old age pension was considering you are 110!
