HR Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 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. Quote

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 Quote

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. Quote
Moderators Carlos Posted November 5, 2015 Moderators Posted November 5, 2015 I am in (so long as they have pies). Quote

Rembrandt Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 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. Victory Park or the Gigg ? Quote
Guest Blixa Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Victory Park or the Gigg ? Four jumpers for goalposts on Moss Bank Park. Quote
famouswanderer Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Im in my 20's, but i was there. Top fan Quote
Rembrandt Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Four jumpers for goalposts on Moss Bank Park. Might as well rent Alder Hey or Crilly Park then. Or Breightmet United. Quote

davidjack Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 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. Quote

You must be on about a different game There were 47,000 on for this one. Quote
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted November 5, 2015 Site Supporter Posted November 5, 2015 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 Quote
Marc505 Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Glad someone was there, thought it had become the revisionist way to say you didn't go! Quote
MancWanderer Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 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!!! Quote

Site Supporter Spider Posted November 5, 2015 Site Supporter Posted November 5, 2015 What's our seconds lowest gate? The one they let LW through in the east lower Quote
Rembrandt Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 I wasn't there. I stayed in London, congratulating myself on not travelling 430 mile round trip for that tripe. Quote
Mounts Kipper Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) 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.
