Best Upton Park atmosphere ever?
|
|
The 3 games that regularly get referred to as the best ever for atmosphere are Eintracht Frankfurt Cup Winners Cup 76, Ipswich title challenge 86 and Ipswich play offs 2004. I only went to the Ipswich 86 out of the three, anyone out there that went to all 3 and can verify what was the best ever for an Upton Park atmosphere?

Man. U 94 was pretty special, especially if you could see the whites of their desperate fans eyes.

In terms of an atmosphere which superceded the importance of the game, I'd say a League Cup tie against Wimbledon in November 1989.
It was a very ill-tempered affair, and the crowd was really getting wound up.
The roof almost came off when Martin Allen SMASHED home the only goal late on.

94' Stopping the Mancs from winning the title was one to remember. Another was Dynamo Tbilisi, packed to the rafters and gobsmacked at the way they played us off the park.

One of my top 5 that one. Dicks got an early red, a game so dirty itv were asked not to show much (so legend has it) justin fashanu played for us, a one legged Devonshire ran the show and Martin Allen steaming up from right back to slam in the winner at the north bank end with 5 to go.
A real highlight that one

I went to all three games, each was unique though without any doubt the Eintracht 76 atmos was the best by a margin.
The Ipswich game in 86 was more a celebration, we knew by then the title would not be ours though we ran both sets of scousers close.
The Ipswich play off game was very special indeed but some how, maybe it was age, it just wasnt as special as Eintracht

Back in 76 Bubbles was sung not shouted, at a slower pace with the word ' nearly' included. Hairs standing on ithe back of the net night.
2004 was great, everyone standing plus fantastic noise levels too
10th May 2016, 36 years since Sir Trev fell over, it's going to be very emotional

Ipswich play off semi final 2004 for me.
The extra time period against Millwall in the league cup was loud as well with everyone standing and people on the pitch.
The best ever will be 10th May

Not the best atmosphere, but the most unique one for me was Millwall at home in 78. I was 14 and out of our usual crowd of about a dozen only two of us was allowed to go. It felt like we were the youngest there. The place had an eerie atmosphere. When Millwall sang, "We are Evil" I for one believed it.

Arsenal invincibles winning 3-0 at UP Anelka cupping his ear to the chicken run - that was funny.
