Old Everton Pictures

I can always remember that day, I was working on a Naval Base in Cornwall at that time, and obviously went to the game at Home Park. I met some
Everton supporters behind the goal before kick off and they were telling me that British Rail laid on 14 special trains from Lime Street for Everton Fans
& RS fans who were playing away at Ipswich the same day. The Everton supporters said Everton had 13 trains and Liverpool had 1, but the best news
was the RS lost 1-0.

Nice story, but not quite true.
I went from Lime Street that morning and it was chaos. I had worked night shift and went straight to Lime Street from work. It was Packed with both blue and red and yes we did take more trains than them, but I think it was more like 9 to their 5 (admittedly guessing here)
I certainly remember the station resounding to Evertonian chants of "We've got more trains than you"
Biggest memories of that game are the huge Cornish pasties which were, shall we say, 'liberated' from sellers outside the ground (very little if any money exchanged hands) lol
I also remember the 'programme' which came in the form of a broadsheet newspaper. Still have it along with thousands of others in two packing cases up in the loft.
Hell of a long journey straight off a night shift. I certainly couldn't do it these days.:eek:

Yeah I had that programme my dad brought it back,a newspaper called "The Pilgrim" I think!!
 

Yes Imthought the score was was 3-1 but Joey is usually spot on so I never questioned it. I never went to the game, I was in The Hacienda club that afternoon, before the al day drinking came into style, I had a good bet with the manager, a
Kopite, that Everton would beat Plymouth and Liverpool would lose their game versus Ipswich(?), paid for my ale that afternoon and some of the night. Happy days !!!!!
