All these waterlogged pitches remind me of the ones we played on at university. Could have used them for growing rice. Some of the best I've ever played on were Uni pitches. I was at Leeds & it was like a bowling green. Worst ever was my schooldays in a park in Burnley when our school played St. Theodore's there. They had a 'deep end'. Quote

Best ones kept for uni team matches. Played for one of the college teams in the league between all the different ones. Just had the shit ones at the bottom of the hill. Quote

Johnnyrotten Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 New date is bound to be 2 weeks tonight. Just long enough for the weather to improve and then deteriorate again. Quote

But, yes, surprised he got a stand named after him. Greaves and Whatmore came to Burden and knocked us out of the Associate Members Cup when we where on a real low and dreaming of Wembley if I remember correctly, think it was the Northern semi-final but I could be wrong. About 3000 on and a mini riot outside after the final whistle I seem to recall. Probably the year they won it. Quote

Edit: 1984–85 Associate Members' Cup - Wikipedia May 8th 1985 - Lost 1-2 at Burnden. Edited February 2, 2021 by jeep Quote

I remember the match as my mate was going on all week about how.he was going to run on the pitch and shake Whatmores hand after we'd knocked them out, didn't work out like that so he just called him a cunt from a safe distance instead 😁 Quote

marple whites Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 At least we have a few extra days to bed the other players in. hope the weather improves as Salford was off tonight due to waterlogged pitch as well. Quote

Yes the northern semi final, at the time a big game with a big atmosphere, attendance 6700 which was much more than most league games (Mansfield brought plenty). We were gutted at losing that, convinced we were going to Wembley, in the days that was a huge novelty for lower division teams. To add insult to injury Wigan got there and won it. We got there a year later. Quote

Nottm_Wanderer Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Maybe a bit of daylight and slightly warmer temperatures before the temperature really drops in the evening. Plus Mansfield after dark ... You don't go there ...that was a joke actually... Mansfield is all right as a town 😀 Quote
