Site Supporter RONNIE PHILLIPS Posted December 25, 2018 Site Supporter Share Posted December 25, 2018 Blackpool away, 2-0, there's more of us than you! We were top, think they were 4th, we won the league they got relegated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marple whites Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Certainly Newcastle and Grimsby we're superb. went to roker park and after we equalised a bloke tapped in on the shoulder and gave me my car keys - I had dropped them in the celebrations, now that was lucky.

Jol_BWFC Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Boxing Day 2015, drove from Crawley to Rotherham, watched the 4-0 defeat sober, then drove back that night to Crawley. The next day I drove the family back up to Huddersfield, passing the Rotherham exit on the M1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
