I was 9 years old playing on the Aliston Gardens construction site in 1970, older boys from the area thought it would be funny to get me to stand on one end of a scaffold board whilst they jumped on the other, sending me somersaulting through the air, landing on a pile of broken bricks on my back. Realising the trouble they were in through my bruised, muddied and tear stained face and threats of telling my mum, my silence was secured when they invited me to join them at the Cobblers v Man utd, I was very happy to go along even if it was only for the 2nd half when the gates opened, but unfortunatly for us they did'nt open until 20 minutes from the end, as the gates opened we were faced with a waft of steam and a mass of bodies that was impassable. Never got to see the Cobblers that day but returned a week or two later and have keep going ever since. Well thats my memory of that infamous day.

I thought we played Tranmere in the fourth round and beat them in a replay - that was a fantastic night with a big crowd.
I wasn't allowed to go to the Man Utd game in case there was trouble. I do remember being hauled into the sports shop in Gold Street by the owner with my mate, as the United fans walked in their hordes up from the railway station!! Surely wouldn't be allowed these days.
Listen, I dont' know whether you know (or care) but if you go to the bottom of any of my posts you'll see a link there for Cobblers stats. Every game we have ever played is listed, so you could have gone to the year in question and seen not only that it was indeed Tranmere we beat to get through to the fifth round but that when we played Manchester United that was in fact our NINTH game in the competition that season. There's no need to guess, it's all there in claret and white.

That's fair enough, I just find it a trifle amusing when people say "I think" something or another when for the sake of a couple of clicks they can know. You said "Exeter in the Fourth Round?", which was wrong. Like I said, the question was unecessary. On a personal note, I saw every one of those 9 games, I don't suppose those that went to Weymouth in the first round had any idea where it was all going to end.

I knew that Exeter in the fourth was wrong, the question mark invited those who also knew the fact to comment. Unfortunately my memory isn't that good, I remember going to the Tranmere match and a lot more at home during that season but do not remember other specifics. Away matches were a no go during that period as I was actually playing representative football/sport which meant that Saturdays were never completely free. I was not allowed to go to the ManUre match because there 'may have been trouble'.

Just a quick English lesson for you spearmint: Who's
Who's is a contraction of who is or, less commonly, who has.
Who's watching TV?
Do you know who's going to speak?
Who's ready to go?
Who's in the kitchen?
Who's this?
Who's already eaten?
Whose
Whose is the possessive of who or, somewhat controversially, which.
Whose book is this?
Do you know whose car this is?
I know a woman whose kids study there.
Whose side are you on?
An idea whose time has come. Glad to be of service.
