PREVIOUS
MEETINGS AND MEMORIES
Chelmsford
City were regular opponents back in our Southern League Days and
fairly intensive rivals too it must be said! A very early memory for
me was a 1-0 away win in 1970 in front of a what was a big crowd of
around 4,000. Lou Adams scored but as usual missed about 8 other
chances on the day - bless him.
Our
last visit to City was in an FA Cup 1st round replay in 1990, when
after a 2-2 smoke bomb enhanced game at Underhill, Andrew Clarke and
Harry Willis were on target in a 2-0 win.
