Home to Walsall 1st January 1966. 3-0 win. They sold tickets for the third round tie against Sheffield Wednesday at the back of the South Bank after the game. Mum and Dad did not get me one

no you are.

The first i remember was at home to birmingham in the FA cup, 1992, we lost 1-0.
My grandad used to take me, and i've got a couple of programs from 1987 and 88, with trevor senior on them! Good kit back then.
Hey, start a post of the best/worst RFC kit of all time (including away kits).
A notable one was the 1993/94 3rd kit, red and yellow hoops, black shorts, red and yellow socks....lovely!

First I remember - Boxing Day '97, we beat West Brom 2-1

[Far Canal]

1963, which is why I have 63 on the back of my shirt.

Royal and Ancient will beat this quite easily, I think.

[Davezk]

West Brom in the league cup season of 96-97

Think it was 1-1 at Elm Park.

Hi I'm new to these forums but been reading them for a while. About time I got involved.

Reading v Swindon 1958,went with my grandad and couldnt see much because I was so small.Next game v Gillingham,1971..

[Forster-Caskey-3-Way]

First game was leyton orient in the Tilehurst end with dad and sister 3-0' win.....second was with my older brother in the Southbank by the away end against Swansea when about'60 Swansea fans made the Southbank run....remember picking up a £1 a Swansea fan had thrown and being chuffed (didn't realise they had that sort of money to throw around).....anyway was hooked from that moment!!

[Rev Algenon Stickleback H]

2-0 win v Newport County in the 85/86 season.

No, the other one.

[howser]

October 1963 against Port Vale on a Wednesday evening at Elm Park, 1-0 to Reading (with a Mick Travers goal I think) and the rest they say is history !!

Remember a worse one than that - about 1993? - the season the home kit looked like TV interference and the away kit was bright red and white arrows all over it.

[Mid Sussex Royal]

About 1973 on a Sunday, 4-0 up at half time and winning 5-0 against Northampton, or Doncaster, or 1974, and Robin Friday might have played.

Think it was Donny and Friday did play - it was his first home game possibly. It was on a Sunday due to power cuts or strikes i think/ Not for TV like today!
