Tickets

I went to the Liverpool Cup tie 1969.
Mickey I think there was a Sunday when we had to queue to swap the voucher on the left for a match ticket on the right.
Also went to the Joe Waters Cup game at QPR.

Actually no they are not the same cup tie, Mickey.
But for the 1969 tie I remember having to go down to the Double Decker turnstiles to queue for a ticket on a Sunday morning I think. Sunny but freeezing.

Yep he was a voucher. The game didn't get played until early March, got called off many times and the replay was played 2 days later
 
I'm confused, when did we play Liverpool in the 6th round of the cup in the sixties, re the green ticket
 
I went to three; v Brum where Jimmy Goodfellow scored a good solo goal, v QPR the Joe Waters game, and the home fixture v the Scouse. I was too scared to go to Millwall and Carlisle was too far.
 
Also Mac, re the Carlisle fixture. Without looking at OFFF I do not think we have played Carlisle very often in the last 50 years although I went to see us play there when we were in Div Three. I remember a home First Division game against them the one year they were in the top division (a Leicestershire County cricketer, cannot remember his name played for them) but very few game since. The ticket suggests it was a Second division fixture.

Micky - I think it says 6th Round FA Cup Tie March 1965.
But I'm down the allotment. So can't check.

It was Soho. I thought it might be a mistake and was the replay in 1970 when Evans scored a brace
Went to the other Liverpool match. The famous ‘Blackpool Beach’ match my old man referred to. Also obviously to the ‘oh yes for the youngster’ match. The other one was Millwall away. Their fans were so wonderful that day greeting us with hand shakes, shouts of good luck Leicester and I particularly liked the gesture of them giving my dear mum a red rose as she went into the ground. Just lovely they were.

Thats the riddle solved, I had forgotten the 1965 tie, was this painting the place red match??
 
That Carlisle ticket is from April 14th,1970. A Tuesday night game,7.30pm. A 2-2 draw in the Second Division. Rodney Fern and Ally Brown scored and Alan Woollett scored an own goal for Carlisle's second!
It was the last away game of that 69/70 season and 2 games after the 0-0 mud bath draw against Blackpool at Filbo!
 
I've got quite a few 70's on wards the QPR ones in a bit of state it was pretty packed behind the Goal... Oh Yes......
 
When ever Carlisle is mentioned ,i always think of Benny Hurst being thrown offLeicester station by the Transport Police while we were waiting for the football special to Carlisle 1970??,we argued for him ,but the spitefull ones wouldnt give in ,so the last we saw of him was shooting off down London Rd .the train left at 730 and got into Carlisle about 1230 ? and who should be standing on the opposite platform but Benny with his face beaming and waving like mad at the same police who had seen him off Leicester Station, he told me later that that he had got to Groby rd and then started thumbing and had jumped from lift to lift without really stopping all the the way north ,the only time he waited was for the special to come in at Carlisle ,we could have smuggled him back but as Benny said it was worth it just to see the the spitefull bastards faces when they saw him on the platform, any way we had a collection for him ,enough to get him back after the special had gone

Brilliant
 
I was at the Millwall game. Only made it to half-time. My mate got hit on the head by a bottle. We spent the rest of the game at the hospital getting him stitched up. I've never been back.

Fantastic story Fowlpen
 
I can remember going to Carlisle for our games in 1970 (2-2) and 1971 (1-0 win) both Division 2 and parts of Brunton Park had railway sleepers,embedded in power station ash, for the terracing. Certainly for one of those games the Leicester fans were put down one side of the ground and it was railway sleepers that we were standing on.
For the Division One game in 1975 (1-0 win) I think the railway sleeper parts had been replaced with concrete by then!
 
i have a ticket somewhere for the Liverpool 6th rd cup game 64-65 at Filbert st where the the gates where open at 11 oclock in the morning with k.o at 3 0clock, i know i was absolutely exausted by 1 oclock having sung for two hours and still had another couple of hours to go .

Mine went over the back wall like a couple of thousand others after they’d let us in without tearing the stub off as there was a possibility of a postponement because of a 2.00 inspection. Obviously it was decided the pitch was fine and all our useable tickets went over the wall to the couple of thousand underneath who’d come without. No bloody wonder it was THE most squashed I’d ever been at a match before or since.
