So who went to any of these games then
1974, Manchester City h Rodney Marsh & Denis Law give City a 2-0 win at the dell in front of 19,234, relegation suddenly was looking a reality.
I was there cant remember much of it though |  |

One for tomorrow:
1976 Saints v Fuham 2-1
I was there too. It wasn't as memorable as the 4-1 win against them (also with Rodney Marsh + George Best & Bobby Moore) later that year but it was in the middle of a very memorable cup run.
SAINTS 2 FULHAM 1
February 24th 1976
Saints went behind to a sixth-minute goal by John Lacy but Mel Blyth soon equalised by heading in a David Peach corner. Ted MacDougall missed a 51st-minute penalty but on the hour Mick Channon raced on to a Hughie Fisher pass and smashed an angled 20-yarder past Peter Mellor.
Fulham boss Alec Stock said: “It takes a special type of player to score a goal like that.”
This win contributed to Saints’ best-ever season at home — it was one of 18 league wins at The Dell.
Saints’ poor away form meant they finished sixth but the season is best remembered for the club’s FA Cup success.
SAINTS: Turner, Rodrigues, Peach, Holmes, Blyth, Steele, Fisher, Channon, Gilchrist, McCalliog, Stokes. [Post edited 23 Feb 2022 11:44]

Yes, I just noticed that but, at least it was a win.
You don't usually do an on this day post. What made you decide to pluck February 23 out of the ether? Our record on that date isn't particularly good. [Post edited 23 Feb 2022 11:47]

It was I was there for that one , an evening match, on the Saturday 28th i went to Wembley for the first time and saw Manchester City beat Newcastle 2-1 whilst Saints lost at York by the same score in front of 3,777.
My 2nd visit to Wembley just over two months later would be my best footballing day ever for some reason | |

While you were having fun at Wembley I was at that game at York. There were about a thousand of us on the open terracing behind the goal and the result came as a bit of a shock. Losing at York was almost as bad as losing at Tranmere. [Post edited 23 Feb 2022 12:01]
