on my own, well with my mates. Not a bad one

Though it was ****ing scary for a ten year old down North Rd afterwards

 

I always remember the season after when we gave the Sunderland fans the whole of the East Side of BP.

One of the worst days of my life, that!

 

I was standing right next to the cameraman at the half way line. I will never forget that goal. Thanks for the video. I just wish my dad was still alive to see us in the premier league.

 

Have you had your fiftieth yet, granddad?

 

First on my own was..... 1971 v Stoke in the Fa cup.

Yet when we beat them ar their place 3 or 4 seasons previously there were only about 13,000 in Roker Park. Mind you, there were less than a hundred of us (at a time we were getting 20,000 at home) which meant that getting back to the bus after our win was fun and games.
A cup win and a push for promotion and they brought more to BP than there had been at Roker. Everyoneof them reckoning they hadn't missed a game since fhe year dot.

 

What sort of gates did we get that season Castro? Some good results but bad bad defeats, annoying inconsistency

The season above gates were poor, as they confinued to be for some time.For example last game of season against Wednesday, which they brought a fair few to, the crowd was less than 8,000. Which in a BP which was still the same as it was when we got 40,000 against Stoke, looked less than impressive. Lowest was 5,203 against Orient, highest 23,287 against Manchester Utd, which wasn't passed until we moved into the KC. Surprrisng how few 25,000 crowds we had for league games since 1967/68. Probably half a dozen.

We only lost one game at home that season too. What went wrong?
Man U was only 23.000?? Remember them bringing loads to that game and we beat em

 

My first game was Hull City 4-0 Southend. I'm one of the younger whipper snappers after all.

 

v Bristol May 2008.

 

Plastic.

My first game was Hull City 4-0 Macclesfield in the FA Cup First Round on 9 November 1999.

I remember that John Eyre and Mark Greaves scored.

 

I quite enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to going to another.

 

Kinell. You were rolling down to games on your own as a Four year old.

First game I went to on me todd was 1991 v QPR in the league cup. They were established top flight at the time, boasting such star turns as Les Ferdinand, Any Impy and Jan Stejskl.

We got tonked 3-0.

Hull City 3-1 Southend United in the Carling Cup a few years ago. Tom Cairney, Jozy Altidore and Geovanni scoring.

 

****, was we saying our first on our own?

 

1995 v Coventry in the League Cup (can't remember the sponsor at that particular time) at Boothferry Park.

We lost, and that's all i have to say about that.

 

Went to the away game - all Cov - summat like 30 shots to 2. Ended up 2-0 and Gav Gordon made his debut (what happened to him?).

Recall a lot of trouble at the end of the match.

My first was 1989, City 2-3 Liverpool in the FA Cup fifth round. I remember you could only get a ticket if you joined a club and got a pass, I was down in the well
