I remenber 1973. We were near the bottom of the league with a team that should be pushing for a top 6 place and a new manager was appionted just before Christmass, the league for took off the fans got behind the team and we went on a cup run. finished 5th I think and won the cup. Hang on is that 1973 0r 2012?
In 1973 we also drew at home against a team from a lower division and beat them at their place in the 4th round. Is the 1973 all over again?
Next you will be telling me that big check jackets and shirts with 6inch collars are out of fashion and sideburns!
Shirts with news print and platform shoes. I am 6ft but still had 6inch platforms! how I never killed myself I will never know.
I'll be watching the game on TV but wearing the scarf I wore during the 73 cup run and at Wembley on that wonderful day. The scarf is worn at every home game and has not been washed since I returned from Wembley in 73. I predict a 3 - 1 win with Sess, Campbell and Gardner scoring.
I don't give a **** if I'll have an exam the next day, if we get to the final this year I'd sell my car to go and see it, it's be such an experience! I missed '37 AND '73 due to circumstances out of my control (as in not being born) but I'll make this one!
Erm RF you ever think it's your fault for wearing them, that we have done nowt for years? Just saying like, seems very suspicious to me.
Have to say MackemsRule that I've never thought that I may be the reason for all those years of misery. I'll give some serious thought to changing the scarf in the next few weeks and giving the old faithful a decent burial. Having said that my mate who I go to the match with has a 30 year old son who made me promise years ago that I'd leave him the scarf when I pop my clogs so that he could continue the tradition of it going to all home games. If he wins the argument we will have if I change the agreement it means that the next 30 odd years are likely to be barren.
