I do remember the shirt numbers being in Roman numerals. Footnote- Sorry to Dave for changing the storyline. As you were… Happy Birthday to H4H.
Is this really a 3:00 pm Saturday kick off at home? I’ve forgotten what they are like. 3 big games over the next 2 weeks. 4 points a decent return but a win against Leeds will do me. Cheers Dave. A two nil win away to Newport County two days after I was born, taking us to the top of the table. We finished 3rd missing out on promotion.
ive been wrong all these years we won 2 1 in my defense i was very young win 20 drawn 15 lost 23 no im not 58 twice there were games 2 days before and after my birthday in 1986 we played two games in two days (would that happen these days) and won both
I'm smack bang in the middle of the summer bteak - we lost to Chelsea 2-1 eight weeks and 4 days before I was born, and beat Hull 3-0 seven weeks and two days after....season finished in middle of April for some reason!
My Birthday is on Round 4 of the FA cup - guess what round we got knocked out in 1979. Nothing changes.
Beat Notts County at home 2-1 two days after, lost away to Southampton 1-0 the day after that and then completed the double over Notts County 2 days later by 1-0 It must have been the Easter weekend. Most of the teams in Division 3 then have since been relegated out of the Football League though many did return. Thy ended up slap bang in the middle of the table scoring 74 goals but conceding 77
It’s a nice day. It doesn’t really matter if we win though a win keeps the playoff fire burning just about for another week before two away games which probably finish us off for good. It’s refreshing to just not be stressed out about having to win to stop some bumpkin northern team overtaking us into 21st.
