I think it was about 1961 i attended my first game and i think it was against Barry Town and we won 2-0.
I can't think of who i went with, but i see a class mate there called Gary Yates who then lived in Kirby Rd.
It could be my memory playing tricks but i seem to think we was averaging over 2,000 every home game then. Perhaps someone can confirm that

The average attendance for the season 1961-62 when the Barry Town game was played shows an average for the season 2425

This will give those an idea of our old ground, when I get the chance I will add a couple more on here. Sorry about the quality in advance.

SOrry, you're right. The video clip was dated 1984 and my maths got really screwed up!

Thanks for making us feel young again for a split second though!
