How many seasons,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[Peckham Lion]

Some great tales and memories on here, superb.

 

[Stowwall]

53 seasons and counting.

 

[Peckham Lion]

And old gits

 

[bazzwall]

remember the pisser near the CBL turnstiles and especially the one on the halfway line, no drains in them days

 

[Peckham Lion]

all i can remember was how green the grass was

That was one of my first observations when i walked onto the CBL with my old man. Had only ever seen it on TV prior to my first game. The pitch was a rich lush green colour that mesmerised me.

 

[cold blow]

My first game was 1963 so 60 years and still suffering

 

[Ilderton Wanderer]

Fucking hell some right old bastards on here. Anyway for me Walsall 81, 2-0 to Millwall, blinding osca kit we had then. Think Massey scored but can’t remember the other.

I started going properly with mates in the 85/86 season, remember the Leeds home game and the weeks of anticipation leading up to it, an atmosphere of pure unadulterated evil despite the early KO.

 

[SEL]

86-92 > on and off with friends and family, i was 5 at the time.
92-2003 > season ticket holder with mates, home and away. Great days.
2003-present > on and off, mostly on my own, sometimes with friends.

Unfortunately some of friends moved away, some just fell out of love with it and others like myself, work and family get in the way.

Hopefully can get to be season ticket holder again and make it a day out with my daughter. I took her to her first game last year aged 2.

 

[Stowwall]

Can't remember any league/cup games from 1970,71 when I first sallied forth down the OKR, getting old is a wonderful cunt of a thing, but first recollection is Orient v Brum. Not even our great little club on the pitch but never the less a significant evening.

 

[Saxon Lion]

1967, can’t remember the game, but I do remember walking to the ground and seeing the floodlights and getting really excited.

 

[Peckham Lion]

remember the Leeds home game and the weeks of anticipation leading up to it, an atmosphere of pure unadulterated evil despite the early KO.

That was cracker, proper evil. Early kick off meant after the jollies with Leeds i went over to Covent garden with the Peckham lot/ Wackers who i was learning the game with. Had it with two nothern mobs within an hour, then slapped another lot we bumped into at Charring cross. Then onto the OKR for an evenings boozing and more tear ups. Great times and not a care in the world.

 

[Peckham Lion]

Anyway for me Walsall 81, 2-0 to Millwall, blinding osca kit we had then. Think Massey scored but can’t remember the other.

Alan McKenna got the first after 6 minutes, Massey secured the points in the second half!

 

[Andover_Lion]

First game would have been anytime between 1972 & 1974. I was too young to remember, and my Dad is now too old to remember when he first took me.

 

[Froada]

I can't remember my first game, but remember getting Weller and Possee's autograph at a school fete at Paragon.

 

[I hate gloryhunters]

1979/80 season. Blackpool. Won 2-0. Nicky Chatterton and John Mitchell.

My dad wasn't into football but I was mad to go see a game. He suggested Charlton (I would of disowned him) but his Lions mental mate Bill convinced him to go to Millwall. Me and my dad were hooked from then on. Fate.

 

[lioninherts]

1967 3rd round F A cup Spuds at home. Cockerel hanging from a broom stick right in front of me. I was hooked from then on.

 

[partisan_lion]

13/10/1984 v Brentford 2-0...Hurlock and Salman were playing for the Bees in front of a home crowd of 5'380.
Lovell scored both goals in 14 & 28 minutes.

I was a teenage grease monkey, finished at 1pm, home and changed, caught the 44 bus to Vauxhall then the 21 to New Cross Hospital...That day changed my life.

 

[new cross wall]

That was one of my first observations when i walked onto the CBL with my old man. Had only ever seen it on TV prior to my first game. The pitch was a rich lush green colour that mesmerised me.

2nd bar from the back at the old place right behind the goal (CBL)
remember going for a piss felt like being in the great out doors with no roof on the pisser must have been about 5-6
1st time i got in a bit of trouble at football was Swansea at home my old man had gone mental by then i was old enough and brave enough to help out remember him having a right go at me after but said thanks and don't tell your mum lol

was that the Sunday game? my memory is shit

 

[Lion1964]

Don’t remember my first game, would have been around 1966 being carried on me old man’s shoulders and lifting me over the turnstiles.
First memories Forest in the Fa cup probably around late sixties early seventies only because it kicked off on the ilderton and I vaguely remember a forest tree flag on fire.
First football memory v Luton we won 4-1 and they had a centre forward named Malcolm McDonald about 1970 , I would have been 6.
My old man took me every home game for years upto I was about 10 bless him.
He passed away over 3 years ago now, I took him when he was very ill to our home game v QP ha ha which we lost when Bart made that fuck up which turned out to be his last game. I had tickets for him v the Spotters Smith last minute winner but he was too sick to attend.
Sorry to ramble on a bit, just brought back some very nice memories.
