Darlington away 1988 (last away game in the league) , Weston 4-3 last year and Cardiff away last year probably a few more i cant remember at the minute.

In modern times Weston away, 4-3. Brilliant athmosphere and game.

In modern times Weston away, 4-3. Brilliant athmosphere and game.

I don't doubt that you are correct regarding modern times, but there were only a few hundred County fans there. As has already been said, Walsall was excellent as we crammed there away end and probably had at least half of the 7000+ attendance. Shrewsbury in the Welsh Cup final in the same season was also excellent with twenty three coachloads turning up, plus cars and those travelling by rail. Mind you, the Rochdale game on the Tuesday (Ithink) before the Walsall game wasn't too clever.

Both CZJ games had brilliant atmospheres, even though there were only two hundred of us in Jena that night. Although, West Brom had played there a few years earlier and took nowhere near as many.

Another exceptionally good one was against Workington in their last ever (to date) football league game. The attendances had increase fro around 1500 in February to 8313 on that last day. Chelsea away wasn't too bad either. I was sitting in the stand and when we scored, almost everyone around me leapt into the air. Up until that point, most people had been keeping quiet assuming that they were surrounded by Chelsea fans.

January 1960 v Tottenham in rhe 3rd round of the FA cup. It was played on about 25 tons of sand, it looked like the beach at Barry Island. Somerton was packed and as my dad was a steward I got to watch the match from the dog track. Spurs won the double the following year.

Bad Boy you are right the Darlington game was mad we lost about 12 on the trot and then went up there with a team full of YTS kids and won! Remember taking over there stand as it was pissing down

For some obscure reason I remember a trip to Bournemouth when George Best played against us as being a good 'un.

Also remember a League Cup night game at Torquay. Went on the Cwmbran coach so lots of 'terrace capers'.

I do remember stewards and police begging county fans to stop jumping up and down in the stand, the stand was begining to move quite alarmingly.

One of the best parts of that game was when the county players ran out on the opposite side of the ground to a massive roar, i dont think they could believe what they were seeing or hearing.

Well worth 12 hour return trip.

Match against Workington when we beat them to stay in the old 4th Division and they went out. The Great Escape the SWA reported.
