January 14, 200818 yr Who really did go that Bonfire night. You know which one i mean if you 30 or over. Truth. Now they were bad days,on the pitch anyhow.
January 14, 200818 yr I don't think you could call it a pitch a Darlington........moss bank park muni pitches had more grass and less mud. Did you go to Hartlepool when we had 4 different types of weather on that lovely open terrace (rain, sleet, snow and wind), I even had a weird type of "sun burn", although that was from the wind....but wind burn sounds a bit gross
January 14, 200818 yr I bet it was a more enjoyable night than at the Reebok stadium......despite nobody bothering to go. I was 7yr old at the time, so I'd have probably been at Vic bommy on COR.

I went to the Darlo match also.And as i have 2 copies of the programme,somebody else of this site must have done as well.

January 15, 200818 yr Living in London then, so zippo chance of getting up for a midweek home to Darlington. Consolation was that I still there (just) 7 years later to witness 1987 folk turn up for the league cup 2nd leg against Wimbledon at Selhurst. Is 1987 the number of folk or where they time travelling folk FROM 1987? I may have been at the Darlo' match but really can't remember, went to a lot of games at that time, in fact it was probably my most regular period of home and away attendance but the football was that poor I think i've (mercifully) blocked it from my memory.

It was used my Traf in a post about people who went to that match should get a ticket for Madrid. It was our lowest crowd at Burnden as you know. You ask any 30something and they will say they were at that game. Just brought back memories for me. Edited January 15, 200818 yr by M G WHITES
