1962 revisited

[redwasp]

Next season Spurs v Burnley at Wembley, could be one of our biggest followings for an away league game.

How many will they allow in 'the away end' then?

Be interesting to know how many posters on here were at the '62 Final. Just found my ticket, H 55 standing section, tucked away in a drawer.
There was a recent thread on the 1947 Cup Final and one poster was actually there on the day.

I was there royboy and in the same section as you, which isn't really a surprise. So disappointed at the end because I don't think we quite had the 'rub of the green' --- nothing changes! lol

'rub of the green'

I think today we would say that 'we didn't turn up' at Wembley in 1962. Spurs were a side then that you couldn't afford to do that against. We'd also had a poor run of results pre-Wembley. The semi V Spurs a year earlier we lost 3-0 which appears like a convincing win but in truth we played well and certainly didn't get ' the rub of the green' that day. Got some joy 54 years ago though at their place. Anyone get to that game?

[Ashingtonclaret46]

I must admit. silky, that John Angus thinks along the same lines as you, as far as he is concerned, however, there were still a couple of contentious decisions which went against us which, nowadays, would have been major talking points amongst the 'pundits'
I couldn't get off school for the cup match in 1963 because it was played on a Wednesday afternoon, however, we got a good 3- 0 win so I was well pleased.

I was born in May 1962 so probably wasn't aware of what was going on. Some say....it's still the same! In which case you can f*ck off!
