Portsmouth away ? - - - hmmm. Did that in 1959 for the replay of the 3rd round game that Cashy attended at Peel Park. Was exiled down south by then and bunked off school to catch a train to see my beloved Stanley for the first time since leaving Accy Dec 1951. Signalling probs delayed the train and arrived with 20 minutes gone. Keeper Mcinnes was hobbling badly on the wing and whoever was the first to takeover his jersey had been carried off. No subs in those days and we were 3 down when I got there. They were top division in those days so we did well to only end up 4 - 1. It will be good to travel a couple of dozen miles along the coast to Chimer territory hoping for a bit of payback for '59 ! Compensates somewhat for probably losing 2 local fixtures next year from the relegationites.
