Gordon Staniforth hitting the inside of both posts, at the Devonport End still not sure how it stayed out. Great day and the replay was even better.

I was near the front of the Barn Park End that day where the away fans currently are housed. Cherry's fingertips denied us but it all came good a few days later.

Derby fans did. :greensmile:

That's the Devonport End.
You can tell by the back of the iconic grandstand turnstile entrance

Yep. Full of Derby fans.

Excuse my ignorance, before my time, but why was the Devonport full of Derby fans and based on a comment above the BP end had Argyle fans? :eh:

Because of the numbers of Derby fans we had to fit in, it was decided that it was worth losing the DE for the day. As it happened that coincided with the fact that it wasn't that much of an end then, most of the vocal support had migrated to the Lyndhurst a few years before that.

Yes I can't remember exactly but weren't Derby entitled to 15% of the tickets fo FA Cup? I think the police thought it easier to herd them from their coaches into the Devonport End. As Ian says when the Devonport roof was removed for safety reasons the Lyndhurst or Popular Side as I knew it then was where the singers congregated. When a new roof was put on the Devonpirt it was smaller and never the same.

No sitting down, no organised singing, just raw rivalry that day.

No quarter asked or given.

The noise could be heard in Mannamead and St Budeaux, proper old school.

I was in the Barn Park end that day.
That Staniforth shot! I was in the air celebrating for what seemed like an age (almost hung in the ait like Stevie Cooper used to do) Not bad for an overweight 14 year old :lol:
