I was shell shocked and the long drive back was all about ifs and buts with my four passengers. If Mark Patterson had found row Z with his clearance it could have been so different. However, Neale would probably have kept his job at the end of that season and our journey with Rioch might never have taken place. I heard a urban myth that Neale was so shell shocked he was seen sat in his car on Burden car park until first light.
As an aside I remember it being T shirt weather outside the pub near the ground.
