I was at that game too John. Pretty sure it was a League game. Those were the days when Bill Bradbury was banging them in, along with Alf Ackerman, Sid Gerrie, and Brian Bulless. Always good for a few goals. Best attacking team till Waggie and Chillo combined.
Year before I was born. I loved going with my old man and his mates to fer ark. Used to have a shoe box with me to stand on so I could see over the fence. Smell of smoke and beer. Sat in the car in the pub car park with my bag if crisps for an hour or so. Good times.
It's strange the smell at Boothferry Park was unique, it had an aroma all of it own which I loved, along with the wintergreen liniment the players put on.
I met sure I remember us beating Southend (?) 7-0 in our Div 3 champions season. Did Chris Chilton get 4 and John McSeveny 3?
1983 - City 7 Stockport 0, no idea who scored - I went and we went 3 0 up after about 10 minutes - their goalkeeper was shaking in front of the Sledmere faithful
Stating the obvious, but the defence doesn't look to me like it can hold out under pressure They struggled to hold out when a very poor Birmingham side came forward. And another late goal conceded doesn't bode well for matches when the last 10mins sees oppositions pushing for a winner or an equaliser Really enjoyed the game, if you can't enjoy seeing your team score 6 then football really is dead, and we've certainly got a team that can score goals, but it also kept the focus on thinking about our defensive frailties for Slutsky IMHO
Which is strange he didn't play Mazuch. Cos hector gives me nightmares and Aina is never in position.
Hector looks good when he has a straightforward tackle to make, but looks easy to play round (or over!) and then looks lost * Aina looked like he been told to keep it simple yesterday and not to default to going forward, but when he's faced with someone one on one he always looks like they'll get round him *mind you I used to think that about Maguire!
