It was a pretty crap season all round apart from the cup run, according to Ian King's complete record book the Wrexham attendance was 7,252. I know I was there, but I can't remember those two home games at all, I do remember going to the last two away games though against shrewsbury and Cardiff, there was 63 of us at shrewsbury, its sad that we used to count I know!! :-)

I think the orient league game turn out was poor, which was another reason it was so flat, understandable people blowing it out after going there for a much bigger game a few nights before.

It's an excellent book, I hardly missed a game in those first few years of the 80's, but it's obviously hard to remember it all now and reading through the stats of each season brings back the memories.

You're spot on mate, it was a s*** team for a few years, poor turn outs for away games and some horrible northern dumps with dilapidated grounds we went too, but it was good times!!

I was one of 23 that went to Ayresome park on a Tuesday night.

Jim Cannon came out and gave us free tickets.

We lost 2-0 .

I was also at the Oldham away nil nil that was mentioned before. We played football on the terrace. Went on the special that took about 5 hours to get there as we kept having to let the Inter City trains go past...

A new era of total football is on the way to Selhurst Park!!

I remember playing football on the terraces that day.
Did't the police come on the terrace and arrest somebody for not giving the ball back that day.

There's a great picture of a few of the lads from that season at QPR in the FA cup on a site called @casualsaturday.

Sorry sash, i don't know how to post links, just put in to goggle @casualsaturday and the picture is the 2nd one down.
