Aye we have. I remember beating them there once, and then us having to beat them again on penalties - all on the same night!

was it the league where we had not won for about 60 odd years?

Bruce Rioja · Post by **Bruce Rioja** » Tue Apr 10, 2012 9:16 pm

No. Was in a cup. Hence penalties.

I meant that we have not won in the league their for years.

Did we win in the year that they got relegated from division one (now the championship)?

... and I saw us win there once. Against Rossendale United in the FA Cup 3rd Round. It was a long, long time ago. And we came from behind!

No. We even lost that one 1-2

The few bucket Shakers you run into will tell you we haven't won in the league there for 60 odd years. Funny they neglect to mention we didn't play a league game there for about 50 odd of those years!

Anyway, I saw Oghani bag a brace in a pre season manx cup 4-3 win there once

Oakwell was a complete shithole until they did it up. The concrete terracing had completely disappeared into a mound of mud and rubble. And the away end at Prenton Park wasn't much better.

Can't believe no one has mentioned the Baseball Ground or Elm Park or feckin Stockport... Or Oxford Utd...

Jeez... I have travelled through some appalling shitholes in this lifelong journey...

True. South Yorkshire's finest always made us welcome too!

The one and only match I have ever been thrown out of, for throwing fecking ticker tape. It wasn't even me. My mate threw it and handed me the empty bag. The next thing I know is there is a hand on my shoulder, escorting me out. Tw@ts.

Mine was Boothferry in 'ull, in 1977 !

Stood quite apart from the riff-raff I laughed when the unified cry of "You dirty Yorkshire b'stards" came out when Willy Morgan was hacked down by their full-back.

A cop's head appeared at my shoulder & said "I'm a dirty Yorkshire b'stard" .. then, Keystone cops-like, another appeared and said " ... and so am I".

Cue my saying "sorry officer" etc. But instead I said "... don't tell me your problems". My arm was then suddenly up my back & I was frog-marched up to the back & then very carelessly down a huge flight of steps and out of the ground & into a portakabin where the sausage fingered desk-sargeant proceeded not to be able to spell my name till I offered to take the pen off him & write it myself. They chucked me out uncharged eventually.

The old away end at Bloomfield Road was pretty ummm basic.
Ditto Stockport.
Actually used to quite enjoy Gigg Lane, and i used to like Vale Park.
Bradford was an experience, small and cramped and with a quick glance to the left and there was a single storey kind of cow shed going all along, that looked like it would fall off the hill any minute.
