Chelsea - Liverpool. FA Cup-1977/78 (4-2)

I was there fella in the shed end we couldn’t quite believe we were beating the great Liverpool. I went in to the west end after with my mates for a pint or two and there a group of Liverpool supporters in the pub and we ended up having a good natured banter session with them. The day is a fond memory for me and the laugh we had with the liverpudlians made it special

I was at this match in the north end with the Liverpool fans supporting Chelsea along with a lot of other home fans. The atmosphere was electric. Liverpool were the rich team with all the glory and pomp but Chelsea brought them down to earth that day. Very satisfying!

[@Gandalf606]

The shot of the Chelsea crowds at 7:04 and 8:17 is what I remember proper fans used to do at Stamford Bridge - hold their blue and white scarves aloft and sing. I always take my scarf and raise it when I go. The atmosphere was loud, intimidating, and raucous too. Today? Limp flags and near silence. Miss those days of proper noise and passionate fans.

Great way to release the tension of the week. What a fuckin pity all seaters were made compulsory fuckin ruined football for working class people and destroyed the atmosphere. I appreciate that it's safer now but I used to go with my Grandad when I was younger , I have two sons there's no way I can afford to take them every week, it costs soooo much money I feel guilty cause I loved going with my Granddad but just cant afford it.a real shame the death of working class families day out at the football.

[@matthewcoombs3282]

To put this in context. Liverpool were European Champions and Chelsea had just come back up from the 2nd Division. Liverpool could afford to buy the best Centre forward in Europe - Daleisgh and the best Centre half- Souness. Because Chelsea were skint they were full of people from the youth team. They didn't buy a new player between 1974 and 1978. It makes me laugh that the Scoucers say we brought our recent success.Even when we were "shit" Liverpool could never beat us at Stamford Bridge.When I was 12 I went to Liverpool vs Chelsea at the Bridge at 1982. We were mid table 2nd Division and they again were champions of Europe and we beat them 2-0.

The brilliant days of the Shed

[@denzil4]

Couldn't agree more !! I used to stand right in the middle of the shed where there was always a great atmosphere. It's time they brought back terracing in my opinion. There's no real atmosphere in all-seater stadiums like it used to be in the late 70's early 80's. All the money that's come into the game has spoilt it for the true fans like us who would travel all over the country and try and outsing the home fans. We used to take over 10,000 away to the grounds that could cope with that ammount of support. Now all you get is a couple of thousand stuck in a corner somewhere with a crap view. It's not a working man's game anymore just a social event for tourists and foreigners who don't mind paying £50 a ticket. Most of them haven't got a clue who's playing who, while the real fans have been priced out of the game. When I first started going it was £2.50 to get in and a season ticket was £50 now it costs that for one match, which can't be right. BRING BACK TERRACING!!!!!!!!!!!

1977/78 Season Context: This match was played 25 years BEFORE the financial doping of Chelsea began and 14 years AFTER the financial doping of Liverpool began. Liverpool were in the midst of a rather "plastic" decade-long successful run (backed by the wealthiest boardroom in English football), after winning promotion from Division Two in the mid 1960s. At this point in time, both clubs boasted the grand total of THREE FA Cups between them! Historic clubs like, say, West Bromwich Albion, had more than that on their own.

Still remember the meeting we had to decide what we were going to do/where we were to go. Nobody could agree so we split up and went in different areas.
