Hi. That same match was my first away game out of Devon too. It was our first big league away day after promotion to the old Div 3 (L1). It was a bit of a baptism for us 15/16 year olds - a 4-0 drubbing and running to the coaches at the end I seem to recall.On this day 42 years ago.
Lost 0-4 at Swindon.
My memorable 1st away game outside of Devon.The first of many disappointments on the road.
Great excitement as a 16 year old getting onto one of the five coaches that left the bus station.
You had to be on yer toes in Swindon,the coaches did not drop off or pick up at the ground in those days so avoiding a booting was all part of the excitement.
Mad day looking back,that seemed normal at the time.
