Think this was about September 1965, a 2-1 win at Charlton, just after our promotion to the Second Division, an evening game, I seem to recall. Subsequently, in January ( probably ) either 1966 or 1967, I recall going to Carlisle for a 0-3 defeat in the FA Cup. Back then, this was a Friday overnight coach trip, depositing us in Carlisle at about 7.30a.m on the Saturday morning and return journey not starting until about 10.30p.m on the Saturday evening.
Also, remember the 1968 game, where MacDonald scored against us ( could have been his debut even, and as previously mentioned, he was a left back then ). Also, the days before crowd segregation of course.
