Numbers travelling, surely would have been 5/6000(?) SOME day it would have been.

On the plus side, I think this match is a bit of a no-win situation for Lampard. If he loses, he's almost certainly out his job, but if he wins that doesn't really gain him any safety. We are just little old Morecambe after all.

Who else attended on the first occasion?

Portman Road was it? Yes I was there. Memories of the day. Getting on one of the supporters coaches at Charnock Richard due to living in E Lancs. I think the rules were different then and the coach was like a mobile bar. We had some boxes of bottled Stella straight from a recent booze cruise to France. Remember they were all gone by the time we arrived in Ipswich. Straight in the pub outside the ground along with several hundred other noisy Morecambe fans. We made a great noise in the ground but after Jimbo got sent off early in the first half we had no chance. Remember Danny Carlton (think it was) having a great second half but to no avail and we lost 4-0.That was the nucleus of the team which got us promoted into the league a few years later and was a very decent outfit.
