this game is march 77 with spurs going for promotion you would think the very small away end would be rammed yet you could get alot more in a very poor away turnout for the time

Thanks Frank. I was there too! Although a Tottenham fan I lived only 9 miles from Mansfield. At the time there was hysteria about Forest and I got such a ribbing at school when Spurs were relegated to Div 2. I have still never been to White Hart Lane, but that day was amazing. When Daines fluffed it and we went down 3-2 I thought it was all over, but stood right behind the goal as Hoddle equalised, I couldn't speak such was the excitement. A fantastic 'curler' which the TV couldn't show. Genius!

memories of hugh johns on a sunday afternoon in the 70s......our only season outside the top flight in years...and we hadnt lost in around 4 months!!! but the stags gave us a real fright......we were lucky to get away with a draw....course we couldnt defend even back then......
Thanks for posting this . I was there as a 13 year old Mansfield fan and it was the only ever season the Stags spent in the top half of the league , 1977-78. The draw was the perfect result for me tho as i was a big Perryman , Taylor n Hoddle fan from the Spurs.For the record it was on March 25th and the crowd was 12 ,106.

Your comment rather took me by surprise as I only uploaded this as an experiment to see how long it would take. Glad you enjoyed it, though. The main purpose was to have it available for watchthismatch.blogspot.com where there's a write up as well.
