I remember being taken to the Dell with my father for my first game. Standing on the Milton Road terrace. I have tried to see via the results who this was against, and when, and I really can't work it out. I am fairly sure that it was before the 1976 FA Cup final (and no, it wasn't an offside goal
) as I wasn't allowed to go to it. I recall that the opposition wore stripes and for some reason I think it might have been like WBA, but I'm not sure we played them at the time. Anyway, the bit that sticks in my mind was the reaction after the game. It was a draw, I think 1-1. My father thought that it was a really bad game and said so, and then asked what I thought. I thought that it was brilliant, but as a nipper I didn't voice that as I didn't want to be "wrong", instead I chose to agree with my old man.
