St. Andrews was fun, my 70 year old Dad had a rather unsavoury Leeds fan shout in his face after the game "fooking 5,000, is that all you bring" to which my 70 year old dad replied in his poshest accent ever "never mind old chap, better luck next time"! The look on this Leeds fan was bloody priceless.
To top it all afterwards we couldn't find the car for an hour and we met a few fellow addicks who were in the same boat, dreadful ground and area then and now but fantastic memories.
Why was St Andrews chosen? I understand they wanted a neutral ground between the 2 teams, but it was hardly known for hosting major occasions, unlike say Villa Park.

Cause it was such a shithole when Leeds lost it couldn't look any worse when they smashed it up 😉

Me and me Dad ran out and then couldn't find the car. Big traffic jam on way home as well.
Yes all four for me. After the St Andrews match there seemed to be more Leeds than Addicks travelling south. I think I'm getting more nervous as time goes by!

St Andrews the most tense by a distance, since it felt like the future our club was at stake.
AAjr has the last three but he doesn’t remember much about ‘98 as he was only four.
