Great to finally see a picture of the Green Army that day Ian, albeit a very scary experience that could so easily have been another Hillsborough.
I remember that game well but donāt recall feeling in any danger. We must have been in a different part of the ground.
My main complaint about that game was that Geoff Crudgington, who had been playing well, was dropped and replaced by Steve Cherry.
I wrote to the club and complained but I donāt think I got a reply. I just felt disappointed for Crudgie. As it happened, it wouldnāt have mattered who was in goal.

The one real time I have been really scared at a football match. I took a friend whoās a Port Vale fan with me that day and he never came with me again.

I was standing right at the back and it looked very full but did not feel dangerous but that may have been the innocence of youth.
I remember berating a policeman about the crush, telling him 'you knew how many of us were coming' and he replied 'no body told us'. Shambles, how many missed the kick off?
I remember the Forest away game in '95 we may have lost but we had a good deal of noise going for the whole game.

We scored the best goal.
Yup. I was on it! We were held up on outskirts of London waiting for a relief driver. When we arrived, Police escorted us at āspeed of slowest personā. I got in quite quickly, match had already started. Fortunately, Iād decided to sit, so no queue to get in. Queues were huge for clock end.
that's exactly where i was.i,along with many others was starting to get crushed and i could also hear the argyle fans frustration still outside desperate to get in because the turnstiles couldn't cope with the numbers,at that point a decisive policeman hollered"open that gate now",but for him people would have died,a terrifying experience.IJN":2qugr7tb said:
