This excellent series is onto 79/80 now & we feature this week away at Luton. At the time of the game, they were top & we were second. Rs filled the open end, from memory, for the last time as in the seasons after this game, fences went up to split the end & we always got crammed into one, maybe two (?) of the three sections. I've not looked it up but presumably Glenn Roeder would've been playing?
Also, any mention of Luton away can't go without recalling how lively it was before & afterwards. How times, er, change |  | | |  |

Remember going to this one, what a good team we had under Docherty, but started to fall away a bit 2nd half of the season. |  | | |

Great series to have linked and it's good to have a season on that's not been done before.
Although we were second division, we featured a few times on commercial tv. They're not showing EVERY week but hopefully a few of ours wwill feature (even the defeats!) | | | |

At the risk of going all Ron Manager on you, how much simpler and better was the football coverage back in the day? Featured games on Match of the Day and The Big Match from either of the top divisions, so much less bias to the "big" teams, limited jibber jabber from "experts", footballers WHO PLAYED THAT DAY turning up in the studio giving un-media trained opinion.
Oh, jumpers for goalposts, isn't it, hmm? |  |

They’ve been running it for a few years on ITV4. When my little girl was born 2013 and my little boy 2015 my series link programs for night feeds were The Big Match The Sweeney and The Professionals.
Good times [Post edited 1 Mar 2021 22:51]

They’ve just finished 74/75 and I was hoping they’d seamlessly go to 75/76 but they’ve skipped a few seasons ... oh well good to see Goddard and Allen playing. | | | |

I started watching last night, start of the 76/77 season (a couple of weeks before I was born). Arsenal vs Bristol City - Arsenal had finished 17th the previous season! A few random names in their side although you did have a young David O'Leary and Pat Rice.
Agreed the presentation style was a lot less cluttered than it is today. Simpler times, we wuz poor but we wuz appy etc. |  |

" I was hoping they’d seamlessly go to 75/76"
Yeah, me too as we featured quite a lot that season as I recall as the main London match (especially the second half of the season) and also the other regions. | |

Caught the one last night from the 76/77 season which had QPR v Sunderland as the feature match.
Had to chuckle at Brian Moore's comment about Don Givens getting abuse from fans, I suppose some things never change...
We had Eddie Kelly in midfield, who apparently we had signed from Arsenal. Don't recall much else about him, can anyone else enlighten?
Also Sunderland wearing away shirts which still had 'FA Cup Winners 1973' embroidery on them. How long did they keep them going for?? | |

I know it's Loo Town but I always loved that early 80s badge of theirs. | |

We’re not in this game at all. Midfield missing, defence all over the shop. We need to sort it out or Docherty will be on his way out. |  | | |

Yes, we were pretty hopeless in that first half. [Post edited 6 Mar 2021 10:45]

Where’s Chris Woods Twitter account. He needs to be told a few home truths. | | | |

Don’t think Bowles touched the ball first half, past it IMHO, legs have gone!
And as for Woods! | | | |

This young lad Allen looks a bit lively. He could be worth a few Bob. Cracking finish. More like R’s. | | | |

Did you hear the Luton fans chanting after we scored?
I miss those days! | | | |

Luton were in Division 1 for 10 successive seasons once they went up and we were in the top division for 13 in a row. Another world. | | | |
