We was bottom of the league, i was there, and yes, i did one at half time, back to the Frog and Parrot! It was 1997 first year at the Reebok, we weren't quite bottom of the league, they were. We had some reasonable results up to that point, and they got dicked by the scum the week before - Only game I've left at half time through shitness. It was also the first match after SJM had been sold to Bradford, as wee were all singing his name before kick off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checked it, and yes 5-0 defeat but it was Nov 97, our following inflated by high hopes after getting 4 points from Chelsea and Liverpool. Booth hat-trick in 1st half, Di Canio got one. They'd conceded 20 goals in previous 6 games! New Years Day 96, only about 2k of us, 4-1 down after an hour, pulled another back. Sasa scored a cracker.

marple whites Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Top tier and the corner is around 5500 and then the bottom 2500, so can take up to 8000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie Pollock gives it the big come on! to what remained of the following. 5-0 down. Fraud. In addition to the above comments, one of our group at SW met up with his SW mate that day, last words before the game were "don't be too hard on us".

Whitestar Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 It was around this time that Bruce Rioch had just left Arsenal and i can remember (just to see if id get on) ringing into a football chat show (can't remember his name but he is a Leicester fan, glasses, old now) and suggesting that Bruce come back to join Toddy. We played away at Leicester that day and got a 0-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
