To be pedantic there were about 7,000 in the Trent end and 3,000 on the side terracing next to it, including the passengers on a special train that was delayed and didnt arrive until half way through the second half |  |

Were there 2 special trains that day Nick?, as I went on one and arrived in plenty of time. The only other time time I went on a football special train was to West Brom in 1979
(I think) where we had the whole end, about 10000.
Did we have any other football special trains 70/80's?, can't remember.
Only time I've arrived really late was Norwich away Aug 78, coaches left around 8 and didn't get there till just before HT, due to traffic and driver not knowing where the ground was. |  | | |

Great atmosphere that day. One of the best away days with the mighty saints. We were loud and proud in those days after our cup win. Not like now . |  |

I was on Special train to Bradford City for quarter final in 76, and Saints did have the League Liner for away game at Man Utd in early 70s
I also did football special to Wimbledon fa cup game in 1979
We drove to that Norwich game, left at 7am, missed first 10mins due to traffic, after several pub stops on way home got home 4am next morning | | | |

I think there might have been , I can remember specials going to lots of the cup games and some League games, West Brom & Bradford in 1976, Forest 1977, Brighton in 78 & again in 82, Birmingham City in 1980 & Leicester in about 82 to name a few | |

Yes it was a memorable day. Proud to be a Saints fan that day. Can’t find any article, video or anything about it anywhere which a shame. | | | |

Remember it well, travelled up with a coach load from Totton College, great atmosphere and we did have the whole of the Trent end if I remember correctly from nearly 46 years ago
First ever away game was the WBA Cup tie in 1976 when we had a similar number at the Hawthorns [Post edited 12 May 2023 10:04]

Yes, l was on that special to Wimbledon for the cup game, forgot about that one, plenty of Chelsea fans about that night and Saints fans lighting a bonfire on the terrace, (or did I just make that bit up?)
Also now remember being on the special to Brighton 78, got on after drinking at that pub at Netley station, houses now l think (didn't have to show ID them days), running battles that day. [Post edited 12 May 2023 11:51]
