York was up their but we knew what was likely to come in that game and guaranteed a excellent following as did Carlisle.
But my best one of my memory and goes down as a really fantastic day/night was
Barnet at Underhill on a Tuesday night match the volume of support we took down was over overwhelming.
I drove a minibus down and got to Potters Bar at 1 O'clock in the afternoon the pubs was neck to neck down the main street and all day they where filling up by 5 Oclock some where spilling out onto the main street as they were ramed packed I remember trying to get inside one of the pubs they were dancing on the tables the noise would have been heard up on seven sisters Rd.
Outside the pubs it was now vans cars coaches nearly every other vehicle seem to being clarets piping their horns in acknowledgement has they passed.
the local police had been informed by now as it was rush hour and the shear volume of fans pack flowing out on the main drag was obviously becoming a concern they just weren't prepared and neither was I to be honest
I recall the local constabulary trying to get into the pub really stupid thing to do with about 200 to 300 hundred in there that had started drinking since dinner and
yes you guessed it they came out hat less with big cheering has the hats were getting thrown about the establishment to the sound of "I went in an alehouse i use to frequent" every pub you went in it was the same i dont know but the buzz was growing all day and everybody well before just new that they never in there wildest dreams expected what was unfolding.
I we were walking down to the ground my thoughts were will we get in the ques were massive the Barnet and Barry Fry must have wondered what the hell had hit them.
It was getting silly now it was 7 35 and there were still hordes joining the ques we got inside at 7 45 and the players were out but i think they delayed it as they had to open another section of the ground up to accommodate the shear volume of support
we had took over half the ground on a Tuesday night down in London 4th division with the biggest bump you had ever seen in one of there goalmouth i wonder if thats how they named there ground from.
The match well to be honest there nowt to report about it finished up nil nil but back in them jolly days some might think jolly days whats he talking about they were brilliant and I know where I like to be and its not the Shitty Etihad Stadium
that's for sure.
