BEST ATMOSPHERE AT A COUNTY GAME?

[ALDOKING]

Darlington away best away ....

One home that sticks in my mind and its a bit obscure (ie. not WHU or CZJ), but Wigan home mid 80s when we came back to win 5-3 and Neville Chamberlain ran amok ...... great atmosphere in the Cromwell that day !!!

Blackpool away, no questions. To be in the lead twice and draw in such a way was the best County game I have been to since I was a kid. Cardiff away last season comes close.

v Cardiff City, Easter Monday 1983, the year we nearly went up to Division 2.
1-0 to us, they had two goals disallowed for offside - wonderful day!

As already has been said, Sheffield Weds in '64, Walsall away to clinch promotion and CSZ in Europe. Another match that stcks in mind was the Welsh Cup semi-final in 1967 at Somerton Park. It was such a large crowd that I was nearly crushed on the way out, ending up in hospital with appendicitis. Can't remember the score or the exact attendence. Anyone else remember this match?

Burnley away 1964. The sight of then County Chairman Syd Jenkins jumping up and down in the main stand at Turf Moor, whilst the P.A.System were playing the Dave Clark Five's "Glad All Over" is my favourite County memory.

I was at that one. Two train loads went up from Newport. Steam trains in those days. Syd was a bit pissed on the way back but I remember him walking the length of the train to speak with supporters. He said that a draw would have been fairer and that was right. Lovely trip. Burnley people were very welcoming. No crowd segregation. We were lined up outside the tiny railway station at Burnley and a police officer counted us off as we went on the station and when he got to a train load he cut us off and said we had to wait for he next train otherwise we would be standing all the way to Newport. He was a good bloke. I just got through onto the first train.The County team arrived in a coach and were given a round of applause and quite rightly went straight onto the station without queuing.

I was in the middle of the Blackpool fans for this game and jumped up twice when we scored . I didn't care if I was going to get a kicking because I was so happy at how we played.
Even the Blackpool fans were impressed by us on that day and how good the COUNTY fans were.

What would we give for those glory days to return week after week ?

Its not the best atmosphere that ive experienced following the County but im surprised that the 4-3 win at home to Salisbury when we came back from 3-1 down (i think) hasnt yet got a mention.
We all thought there was no way we could blow a play off place now but how wrong we were...
