Tottenham 9 Bristol rovers 0 22.10.77

[White Van Jan]

I. However did manage to catch it on MOTD, don't know how many people realise that we won promotion on goal difference of 9!

I never knew that!

Some of the matches I went to that season were very jammy wins.

Blackpool, I arrived 3 mins late and we were 2-0 down. One back injury time 1st half, equaliser injury time 2nd half. Oo-er.

Charlton, 1-0 down. Got given a dodgy penalty. Missed it. Ref then gives us an even more dubious one. Score. Win 2-1.

Was there with my girl friend (now wife). That was her 3rd game, the previous two being 4-0 and 5-1. She's since seen another 9 (v Wigan).

Can you not get her to the West ham game asking for a freind :nunoteeth:

At Spurs there's a lot of people of the correct generation(s) to have been at that 9-0 game, and I'll bet many of them were at both, my dad being one of them.

Was at the Keflavik, Bristol Rovers and Wigan games.

Our home form went in fits and starts in the League that season.
Won our first seven scoring goals galore - then drew the next four.
For the last half of the campaign, barring Stoke I think, any home wins were just by a single goal.
Shows how much the nerves began to kick in.

Was at the Keflavik, Bristol Rovers and Wigan games.

I was at a run of games before Bristol Rovers but took that one off. :mourfacepalm:

I was at Wigan though. My son had a bet on Kranjcar to score the last goal and won something like £25.

My daughter had to miss the Wigan game, because of a uni musical rehearsal.
She's still gutted to this day.

Was at Rovers 9-0, Wigan 9-1, Liverpool 0-7, Reading 6-4 and some of those drubbings under AVB which I have blanked from my mind.

 

[Spurshaker]

Bristol Rovers game, stood on the terrace in front of shelf, towards the park lane. Day before my birthday, so stayed in Tottenham after the game drinking till 10pm. Never missed a game that season.
My favourite season.

Likewise.
Doncaster and Lyn Oslo also spring to mind.

 

[Pete27]

Talking of drubbings.
I remember us losing 4-0 at Norwich in August '79 - a midweek game.
Where the coaches were parked afterwards, this bloke was so peed off about the result that he chucked this empty bottle against a wall. A copper went across and promptly nicked him.

 

[Tottenham Sean]

Was at this.
As was said, an amazing game and season.
I was only 9/10 that year, but glad i witnessed it. And the relegation one before as well. Not glad we got relegated, but i am sure you know what i mean.

Woah hold on there hoss...Liverpool 0-7 you say. Come on elaborate. You don't get to skim over that. I want details!!!

Year we got promoted. Was the 2nd or 3rd away game of the season. We had a good crowd there as always. After their first 3 or 4 we started to celebrate their goals as if it had been Spurs scoring to nullify their piss taking which annoyed them. We thought it was funny. They got a bit lairy on the way back but we soon put them on their toes.

Was at Wigan too… as for the bad ones, I raise you 7-1 away at Newcastle under Gerry. We were very lucky with that score line!

 

[Notabadsquad]

I remember getting the Evening News or the Evening Standard.

Amazing Saturday it was.

 

[mick derry]

Strange how some things stick in your memory.

I remember BBC having it as a feature at end of 9 'O clock news, saying something along lines of ' the missing fans missed a treat'. there was 26,500 there

think we averaged 37,000 that year in div 2, remember 52 at home to Bolton, 48 I think at that Hull match

The optimism of youth (13) I also remember feeling disappointed by only winning the away fixture 3 nil

I think Brighton at home was another big crowd too
