Chesham (or Cheshunt) away midweek. Abandoned after 15 minutes (fog).
Roger & Dave, John Cooper. That was it.
We were refunded our admission before we set off for home.

Four? Blimey. Makes the eleven of us at Crawley look like an invasion. So, any advance on four? 60s, 70s? An ' I was the only one there'.

Ledbury in the rain, when Geoff Moss scored 5. There were 3 of us behind the goal sharing an umbrella. However, I imagine there were a few more in the seats. But not many....

St Leonards was another Thursday epic away journey. It arrived as the last of 3 away matches. Only 264 there in total so there couldn't have been many travelling from here.
Not a bad line-up:
MCDONNELL CRISP#* OWEN GARDINER SNAPE EVANS REED WRIGHT* PIEARCE** HARDING SHARPE HARRISON COOPER SWALLOW

I do vaguely remember there being quite a few of us as it was a new ground for us. Not sure we ever went there again either
