Nothing just remember it was early, 2nd game .had to look it up .can't remember the order we played games. Probably thought first was away as its normally away home away etc
Can't remember who scored the 3 second half goals without looking it up

Flynn, Dearden and Colquhoun. All at the Lane End. We beat the 1969 League champions, then in the next match beat the 1970 champions and then beat the 1971 double winners!

must have been the game that got us promoted then

We drew 2:2 at Wolves in midweek that pretty much guaranteed promotion. We could only not go up if there was something like a 14 goal swing in the final game. Bassett named Benstead as substitute in the days when there was only one substitute just in case...

Lost 2:0 at Bristol City. Fair bit of fighting before, during and after. Bunch of Blades playing football in the park next to Ashton Gate about 2 hours before kick off got attacked and one guy at least was Stanley knifed from neck to arse...

Was the Wolves game the night match 2:2?
Also was at the Bristol City game when they brought the police horses on to clear the pitch, was that the game in the same season?
Maybe i am getting seasons mixed up.

Yes, Bristol City was the Saturday after the Wolves game

Yes, the below table was after we drew 2-2 at Wolves. Port Vale were 3 points behind us but our GD were better by 12 goals. Port Vale won 2-1 at Fulham in their last match which meant our GD were better than theirs by 9 goals.

some may (allegedly) say that this route over the South stand entrance wall and down this gang way could, if you were that way bothered, mean you could enter the ground after a gallon plus of Wards/Stones/Tetleys and coming home from The Leadmill if you fancied emulating the lads on the pitch/ sitting in white concrete John St dug out or just sitting on the Kop whilst the rain stopped. The nighttime Lane security not being that great back then. Only saying could in the mid 80s before a mate told me they put a fence over the South Stand walkway and blocked this.
The 0230 recreation of an Edwards Morris combo goal after too much Sheffield Best Bitter being lost to many a young Blade for more than one reason,,,

Remember our 3-0 win one night. As I came into the ground was nearly hit by a Leeds fan who "fell" off the wall near the stairwell that used to be in the corner.
Was a night of battles all over both on and off the pitch

yeah night game 71 leeds came round and tried to get on the kop but got nowhere near and got ran back to the bramall lane end the kopites were a nasty bunch in that era
 

think thats the one i went to not the one in 88, i went on train and got a lift back in a triumph herald. the guy who had the triumph bought a ford sierra after that and i remember sitting in it listening to burnley v hull in 84? so yes must have been 1980....... jesus 40 years ago and thanks for jogging my memory Silent
 
I once spent a few hours in the company of someone who was keen to tell me all about early 70's aggro at the Lane. Mostly it was hilarious. Him and his companions used to wear white butchers coats "because it showed the blood' One game he spent the entire first half winding up a large geordie. When the second half started he looked behind him and guess who was there, and it was the last thing he remembered. I think he said only two teams fans ever 'took' the Kop - Leeds and Birmingham

leeds 74 man utd well anytime they wanted really but they were the only 2 apart from wednesday for a county cup final or testimonial when hardly any of our fans were on the kop they always turned out in big numbers for those sorts of games united didnt but birmingham never took the kop as i can remember
 
OMG any one else remember these season tickets in a plastic pouch and you used to get 20 odd stubs with the club emblem on them with team you were playing on the day , just like the old guy is holding in his hand on this youtube clip , i was only a youngster at the time but i bet this old fellow is long gone now , love these old youtube clips of Sheffield , Life was so more simpler back then .

I couldn't go as it was a night match , on a school night , and I was only 5 .... ( I'd been to the previous 3 or 4 home games).

I remember shaking my older brother awake the next morning to ask him the score , he was still that pissed off he wouldn't tell me. I ran down the stairs and took the programme out of my Dad's sheepskin . He'd etched in ' 1-2' in the relevant boxes on the back page.

Ready Brek in silence that morning.

The season ticket books had numbered vouchers inside. They put the number that you had to use on the gates.

Those houses you can see above Meadowhall were Beacon Rd, I used to go out with a girl who moved there from Nether Edge ,I think her brother is on here actually. It was a bugger to get there on public transport up from Grimesthorpe ,you can still see them clearly from all over the S9 area.

Millhouses Park at probably its lowest ebb.
I've got so many wonderful childhood memories of that park from quite a few years earlier.. That's where I transformed into Lev Yashin every Saturday morning, wearing the obligatory all-black kit - with black woolly gloves if it was really muddy. We usually only had casey kick-ins but, in my own little world at least, I felt unbeatable in that attire.
The unique combined leather and mud smell still lingers, even now.

My childhood in those pictures ,from the Lido as a pigeon chested tosser thinking I was it to playing paddle tennis and draughts on the big board. My highlight was playing SPOT against the wall across the river on the top field ,they should make Utd players do it ,too soft you had to retrieve from the river, too high you could get it on the railways lines. Great times and look what our brilliant council did to it.
