Who was there for the R.Madrid game?

[bobh]

I was there standing on the Bob Bank. From memory I think the match was pay at the gate but could be wrong. The atmosphere was electric. Although it has not been mentioned much since, at the time we played the match Real Madrid were going through an indifferent period of form and it seemed to me we could have won by more than the single goal. I can't remember what I did before or afterwards as it was far too long ago and I doubt whether many can.

Don't think you could pay on gate.
I bought my ticket a few weeks beforehand. The were approx. 45,000 in the ground that day. Fantastic atmosphere, though I think the atmosphere at the Leeds cup game was better, even though the crowd was restricted to half that of RM game.
I was 16, and stood behind the goal on the Grange end.
We could hardly move independently.
When Brian headed that goal, the whole end (prob the whole ground) jumped up in unison.
It's a wonder the stand didn't collapse. (It was the old wooden one, demolished in the wake of the Bradford fire. )


The real question (no pun intended) is what happened in Madrid, when we lost 2-0.
If my memory serves correctly, Gary Bell was on the ground, having been hit by something thrown from the stands, when the first goal went in.
And bizarrely, wasn't allowed treatment, and was still on the ground when the second went in a minute later.
