I shouldn't have gone either but it was George Wood. I was running late due to the snow so missed our goal and just got into the Lever End to watch their jammy equaliser as the ball got stuck in the snow. Then Reidy got carted off and from memory the match was abandoned at half time so nobody got their money back - all in all my contender for the shittest match. I say match - I only saw 20 odd minutes of it and that was effing dire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing in the Burnden terrace the floor was just ice and it was tricky staying on your feet. Got back to my car and the bastard wouldn’t start, then when I finally got home I found out one of my Aunts had shuffled off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhanley Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 That Everton game should never have taken place that day. It's all been said above. One thing that's not been is that when the re-scheduled game was played we won it 3-1. Part of a really good run of results in early Spring that saw us safe. That whole Winter was horrendous. Even today when lists of snowbound winters get listed that one is always mentioned. Without checking to make sure I'd say we played only one or two games through the whole of January and February.

Aye I remember filing out and down the exit slope from Paddock to the concourse thinking if someone slips here there'll be carnage. 30k+ on that day as well, though the record books won't show it as it was a non game. So really lucky summat very serious didn't happen (apart from Reid's leg). It really was insanely dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlust Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 It was shite. I took a girlfriend to try and get her interested in going to matches with me. She slipped twice, was freezing the whole time and never went to Burnden again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the "Winter of discontent" when public workers were on strike; including gritters; and Maggie Thatcher won a landslide in a General Election the following May.

Wanderlust Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 On transfers, but not related to us - WTF is happening at Oldham? They're in the national league but have made some decent signings including James Norwood who scored 11 goals for Barnsley last season. Have they come into some money? They certainly seem to be setting their stall out for a return to L2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asked my Oldham mate, and he has no idea how much Frank Rothwell is worth, or if there's been any external investment. Oldham Council have invested £1M over the summer on their new pitch, which looks tidy as fuck for National League level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Wanderer Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 I see Baccus is still at St. Mirren. Seems like wasted talent to be honest, it’s a better league than given credit for but you’d think he’d still want to further his career. Good player.
