    My first game, aged 10, was in 1969.

    County just couldn’t do wrong in my eyes, and every season in the 70s was an improvement on 1969-70.

    It never occurred to me to stop going. And like you, every summer I was looking forward to a promotion season.

    1974 was my lowest point as a County fan, when the players went on strike, and the club released Alan Ogley the following summer.

    Plenty of high points in the 70s though:
    Palace and West Ham
    Brian Doyle as manager
    Paul Hart
    Barney Daniels
    Stuart Lee
    Top of the league in 76
    Steve Massey’s pearler at Blackburn

    Who could resist all that?
