The entire footballing world forgot there was a bommy night on and headed down to Burnden Park to see us lose 3-0 to Darlington.

 

When Warren Joyce narrowly missed a free kick the crowd jumped in unison and slightly compressed the earths crust.

 

Entrance was free, you just had to pass the 'real fan' test to get in.

I wasn't there

 

I don't even remember where I was on such a momentous occasion, though I remember where I was when Princess Diana died

Same as. Being tugged off behind that church opposite Hawthorns.

I wasn't there neither. Probably watching fireworks somewhere

In a few years time we will be back at Darlington's level, when a new breed of superfan will be created on a cold and windswept evening in a hired ground.

I am in (so long as they have pies).

What about hotdogs?

I missed it cos bonfire night was a massive deal at that age. I had a season ticket in the Lever End and never missed normally. Remember feeling really guilty - especially when there was a big picture in the BEN the next night of the wide open spaces on the terraces.

You must be on about a different game

 

There were 47,000 on for this one.

I genuinely was there - remember nothing of the game though, just another shitty night in a shitty season. Much how Birmingham will not be remembered this season

Glad someone was there, thought it had become the revisionist way to say you didn't go!

I know exactly where I was when Elvis and Diana died, the first Gulf War was announced to have started, Lockerbie and the planes hitting the Twin Towers but fuck me I've no clue about that day!!! Priorities all wrong!!!

Elvis ain't dead

anthill mob youth (well we were in those days) were in full attendance. got crushed shouting at the the bloke next to me, 20 yards away.

What's our seconds lowest gate?

The one they let LW through in the east lower

I wasn't there.

I stayed in London, congratulating myself on not travelling 430 mile round trip for that tripe.

I was there but remember nothing as that type of performance was pretty standard back then. Hold on some cobwebs clearing did Hodgson who later played for Liverpool rip us to pieces? Maybe not can't fucking remember. Seems not he did manage them though.
