Anyone here, of a certain age, remember a League Cup tie (??) at Huddersfield when Hudders were in the first division - Premiership if you're under 20 - (???) and Bolton the third (????) and Bolton won 2 - 0 (???????) and Roy Greaves scored one of the goals (???x1000). Somewhere, deep in the attic, I have a newspaper whose back-page headline was "It's B for Brilliance".

Have a sneaky feeling a certain Mr. Worthington played that night for Huddersfield (???x10000)??

The ground's OK, more than OK. Very steep banking on all the stands so a great view. Worse than that is the two real ale pubs on the station. Know how to treat visitors, Huddersfield. Bloody Yorkshire for you.

I might be getting confuserated, as I was living in thatbloodylondonplace in 2001, but recall enduring a 3-2 loss at their gaff with Deano scoring. I'd check the stats if I could be arsed...

We had a few games against Huddersfield in a fairly short space of time, with one side or t'other scoring 3 goals.

In 1999 we got beaten 3-2 at their place. That was at the end of the 1998/99 season (March 1999)

In 2000 we won 3-0 in April at the end of the 1999/2000 Season, then played them again in September 2000 at the beginning of the 2000/01 season - we won this one 3-2.

Was that the one that got us up to 6th and the perfect position to feck it up against Watford at Wembley? Cos...I was there...

Anyway, not going this time... Though the stadium is fine (unlike Leeds Rd which was a dump inhabited by some totally not-rights...)

There are certain places that, by the mention of their very name, depress me to the point of misery. I'm thinking of the likes of Dewsbury, Dronfield, Bracknell, New Cumnock. But top of the list, the most egregious example, is 'Uddersfield. I will not be trekking to this pit of despair, therefore I will be hunched over the laptop following the erudite commentary provided by TW this weekend, while sat in a pub.

It took us up to 8th. We didn't hit 6th until the last game of the season, leapfrogging Huddersfield, who'd been in 6th at the start of the final day...

I thought we got battered and didn't score

Probably one of the 8 visits that Keith Edwards got a hat trick

Deano missed an open net near the end :roll:

The other game we won 3-0.....sure I remember Ricketts lobbing the keeper for one of them?

I'm going, but might sack off the match and drink heavily in Huddersfield all day instead :pissed:

It's about 5 miles from mine so I shall pub crawl my way there. I think there's some bonkers festival of light or summat on this weekend n'all.

That'll be Christmas: it was on last weekend, this weekend, next weekend, the weekend after that, and the bloody weekend after that too. It even stretches to the weekend after all the weekends I've just mentioned. Never mind only fifty one weeks until Christmas 2013 rolls around.
