Re: The cheer us up memory lane thread

Made two trips to Burnden, once for a cup tie in 93, iirc correctly we had to borrow a yellow kit as we'd forgotten the away shirt, sat in the side stand as a 12 year old, think it was 1-1. Second trip was your first PL in 96, peed it down and was on the open terrace next to the flood light, Whittin...

Re: Administration and recovery

Bates put Leeds in admin and got the club back however that led the FL to change the rules, particularly the points deduction as Bates did it on the final day after relegation to nullify any impact. As for Paul Aldridge, always struck me as decent, Mandaric had him as his right hand man at ours and ...

Re: More than one owl? Count me in! SWFC away 12/1

Away pub? Horse and Jockey or the Railway are fine, i tend to drink in Hillsborough itself though.

Re Mavies, wages dispute, we won't be held to ransom by a player with his injury record, we move on.

There's a chippy about 50 yards from the away end called the 4 lanes, decent and open every matchday.

Get off at Bamforth Street and walk towards the traffic lights, take the right there, follow the road down to the bottom, turn left and the NBT is there.

Re: Wednesday / Wednesday

Afternoon all. Went to the game yesterday and thought I'd give my opinion, we came and did a job, our performance was gritty and determined rather than slick and impressive, playing two attacking full backs ahead of the two defensive ones nullified any threat from Petrov and Eagles. Antonios pace up...

5-0 November 1997, Pleat had just been sacked, it was 5-0 at half time.

Re: It's been a while

Hi Pal The financial situation isnt as bad as most think, the majority of the debt i think is to the owner Looking forward to seeing Wednesday play, they are my second team through family etc, - great to see them promoted, just a shame we had to get relegated Always liked Bolton, as a kid growing u...

It's been a while

Since we last met, 11 years or so since a Christmas time meeting at The Reebok, sorry to see you've come down, I have an awful record watching Wednesday at your place be it Burnden or the Reebok, but we enter next season full of optimism and hope under Dave Jones. What's happening with Wanderers, in...
