Remember going to 2 of the 3 matches at the Priestfield in the 74/75, 75/76, 76/77 seasons. Two of them were late December - the 1st and the last of those seasons - and the 2nd was in April. Taking people's boots away in the depths of winter was a neat but cruel idea. (I don't remember that happening but do remember the local difficulties at the station after the match in April 76 took an age to get back to civilisation.)
