Yeah, don't get much of that anymore probably why so many looking forward to the likes of Barrow with mismatched stands and terracing. There's no doubt that'll be a winter Tuesday night

Derby away in 85-86 was a pivotal game for me, I'd got my first car and that was the first away I drove to.   Asa Hartford scored a cracking equaliser, lost 2-1.  Loads of ticker tape in away end saying "BWFC Wembley 86" (coz we'd got to quarter final of Freight Rover!). It was socially acceptable to have 3 or so pints and drive in those days, so I had a great day in my Vauxhall Chevette,  I was hooked on the away day. Stopped at various pubs from south of Stockport, over the Woodhead etc, after that I drove to loads of games that way at the likes of Mansfield, Chesterfield, Sheffield, Rotherham.  Always took a great following.  Went to FA Cup game, crap view but great atmosphere, those days were as good as any in my lifetime.

I went Derby away in the 5th round of the cup and stood on that crap terrace on the pop end and couldn't see fuck all, i went the following season in a league game and went behind the goal on the Derby end, not getting fucked over twice.

Really good interview with Stuart Holden on the LOV podcast. They just let him talk and it's interesting, funny, sad and a bit infuriating regarding the aftermath of his injury.

Well worth a listen, brought back some memories of great times.

Just scrolled down to see Andranik bagging against Wigan!

Delightful.

Remember us singing “we’ll never play you again” at the end of that one. If only we knew ☹️

Well I suppose, if we must. Off top of my head I'm struggling to think of 10 decent games, anyone else?

England v Scotland, Holland, Germany then v Spain for drama.

There was a 3-3 Russia v Czech, Italy v Germany. France v Spain. And then...

I went to 2 games at Old Trafford and 1 at Anfield, Villa, Leeds, Hillsborough and Wembley (v Scotland).  Had tickets for final and sold them.  So it will bring back a lot of memories of a great tournament.  First time I saw Djorkaeff play too.

Sorting the loft out this morning and came across my forgotten-about BWFC Season Review DVDs from 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, so that's this afternoon sorted.

Meh.

At least it’s got two sides of individuality I suppose with the different sized and shaped stands. The other two might as well be Donny.

Got opening game of K-League on BBC app, crowd songs being played on the loudspeakers!

It's already showing that it'll be impossible to enforce the no talking or shouting on the pitch rule.
