McFaul 35 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRRD9y1mGGU Anyone else on here who was behind that goal when Sheedy scored? Not sure if this was the game where overcrowding outside and limited turnstiles lead to a crush where some gates were burst open and everyone just swarmed in? P.S. How the fuck was that second goal disallowed? Aye me. They scored after 20 seconds or summik some mackem down the other end. Mendonca aye. It was a proper proper crush that day, but luckily I was right at the back of the standing. There was seats behind us. 1-1 iirc.

It was Cunnington who scored, I missed it as I was just getting in, but he did play for the Mackems the next season. Can't remember there being seats behind us, mind, but I've been wrong before. Think we were in a bar called 'The Submarine' before the game which was well named as it was a right fucking dive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll sort you a picture out, the standing took half it up, and seats the rest behind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole end behind the goal? All of it had seats above the terracing? Mad if true because I've been down there twice around this time and just can't remember it. I'm always arguing with my pal about what was where in grounds including SJP so I'll bow down to your memory as mine was addled with alcohol around then.

Howmanheyman 26789 Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 This game was was part one of previously mentioned pal getting a home & away howking from some Grimsby fans, the return chinning coming outside where Gotham is now when Dobbin ended our 100% record.

Howmanheyman 26789 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Remember us being tipped by the lercal press, possible Oliver or Gibson to get a top 8 finish after those summer acquisitions Aye, they were paid for by selling Gazza, Goddard and an improved Neil Mcdonald. We finished 8th, sold on Gazza and co, bought these and finished 20th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought some fucking stinkers from Wimbledon like. Glynn Hodges was a year or two before I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was present at the next game, sunny as fuck before the game, 2-0 up after 5 minutes and John Hendrie missed an open goal after 6, anyway it ended 2-2 and we went on to get relegated. Gazza got more abuse in that game than anyone has ever received in football history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza got more abuse in that game than anyone has ever received in football history.The football league forced the club to close the corner for a couple of games after the amount of stuff threw at Gazza and anyone brave enough to take a corner. Was going great as well, the game that is, actually felt a bit sorry for later on, looked like he was genuinely upset he was getting called whereas the likes of Waddle didn't give a fuck.
