Pretty sure I did too. Can't have been that exciting because I can barely recall it. Wasn't it a draw, and a disappointing performance by us?Went to the first leg.
It was the Anglo-Scottish Cup Winners’ Cup.
David Smith made his debut for us iirc. Frank McGarvey equalised for them.
The crowd was about 4K in a cold night in December at HR and the second leg (supposed played at Easter) was quietly shelved due to convenient fixture pile-ups on each side.

It was staged due to the european ban at the time. The second leg wasnt played due to a number of varying reasons.It was a one off invention called the Anglo Scottish Challenge that wasn’t completed out of apathy.
i'd go.Would be great if the second leg happened might be a world record for the longest break between cup ties.
I was there, stood at front of the Kop near the couple of hundred St Mirren fans - it was freezing and not a great game. Would be interested in going to a 2nd leg though.It was one of those 4K were there 15k say they were
From memory I think we didn’t play the second leg because of a fixture pile up and an injury crisis. I remember we had virtually no fit central defenders and St Mirren agreed not to play the second leg at that time.It was staged due to the european ban at the time.

I was in the Kop too and if I remember there were a few Mansfield in with them as they're game had been called offI was there, stood at front of the Kop near the couple of hundred St Mirren fans - it was freezing and not a great game. Would be interested in going to a 2nd leg though.
And me. Bloody freezing!Went to the first leg.
Yeah, we were on the Kop too.I was there, stood at front of the Kop near the couple of hundred St Mirren fans - it was freezing and not a great game. Would be interested in going to a 2nd leg though.
However many points you got for a pre-season away game in Brechin, it wasn't enoughWe did used to. I still have my programme from this game. 1984. Can't remember the result.
Remember going to see us at Morton too.View attachment 35990
Reckon I should have got 2000.However many points you got for a pre-season away game in Brechin, it wasn't enough
Interesting that less than 3 years before lifting the FA Cup, only 4 of the players who would achieve that are in the squad.We did used to. I still have my programme from this game. 1984. Can't remember the result.

I don't remember half of the kids who were here back then. Pearce and Butterworth would both be off at the end of the season, of course and a lot of the familiar names then came in.Interesting that less than 3 years before lifting the FA Cup, only 4 of the players who would achieve that are in the squad.
Could persuade Harry Kane to sign and end his trophy drought?
