Me too. So that's you, me and 45382 others. Seem to remember queueing up for two hours to get a ticket some days before and that they cost 7s. 6d (the mind could be playing tricks here).

Yup, I was there, too. That was after we'd beaten N. Forest the round before at a snowy Selhurst.

I only got into that match with my dad, by a lovely kind gesture from a copper. We'd been queuing for the forest tickets on the Sunday, were next to be served at the turnstile when they put the 'Sold Out' signs up. I was gutted.

I begged my dad to take me to the Forest match anyway, so that we could stand on Holmesdale Road and listen to the match from outside the ground.

Next thing we know, a copper's come over and told us he'd been given two tickets by someone who couldn't go. He asked if we wanted them. I was overjoyed to get in and watch the match, which we eventually won 3-1.

In that 6th round tie, Leeds, with Bremmer et al, simply took us to pieces.

Very fond memories.
