I think some of you are mistaken about 1974. The game against united was all ticket with the Kop given to united. I had a season ticket for the Kop and had to go in the west paddock. I was on the kop in 1971 when united took it over and I moved to the scratching shed, think it cost 6d. Someone mentioned the cup game when we won 5-1, I thought Charlton played that game scoring their goal.

Correct it was the 71 game I meant in my post, just rewound me pickled old memory bank!🤣
 
Another first for the Blackpool Kop in August 1968 chemical warfare in a football match Blackburn Rovers fans deployed NH3 ( Ammonia solution) in the kop this made the national headlines ( daily mirror ) and arrests on the train home to Blackburn
 
Why was it called the Spion Kop (bit young to ever go on it but have seen it referred to).

I was one who had ammonia thrown in my face. Remember police taking me to the food kiosk at the back of the Kop and being washed down with a hosepipe. We were then taken to the Vic and had drops and cream rubbed in our eye's. The lads that threw it were 15yr olds and were only fined.
