I would have been just over 3 months old then
No doubt I would have shown my displeasure by filling my nappy
Nowadays I can moan about it on an Internet forum |  |

Didn’t The Dell hold about 30,000 then?
I was a year old FWIW. |  |

I could be wrong but wasn't the capacity closer to 30,000 then?
When I started going in 1982 it was about 25,000 | |

Ditto!
I'm also sure recalling an attendance approaching 31k for the visit of Man U back in the early 70's. No matter where you stood st the start of a game you very rarely finished in that same spot! |  |

So was I grumps.
Fulham came out with all their supposed Super Stars and we turned them over royally.
If it weren’t for a very patient referee they could have ended up with nine men.
Happy days at a wonderful football ground where none of the opposition liked to play. It was almost as though as a spectator you were on the pitch yourself.
I can’t help but wonder whether we would have been better off staying at The Dell.
Small crowd capacity hasn’t exactly held Bournemouth and Brentford back has it ? | |

I was at this game too though it wasn’t until the later years the realisation of witnessing these great players & other great players & characters that graced The Dell over many years sank in.
It’s funny to think that we had to move to a bigger stadium, so we can compete & be a ‘bigger’ club, in my years of watching Saints at the Dell, we were never relegated, yes we came close a few times but it never ever happened however since our move to St Mary’s… | | | |

To improve we had to move but its strange to think that it seemed we beat the Bigger Fish more regularly at the little old Dell,oh!well that's progress I think,hang on....... | | | |
