Nerd Corner: We're playing Chesterfield at home in the League two games in a row. Just wondered if that sort of thing had ever happened before.

Consecutive home games. IE the last home game of last season and the first home game this.
A few years ago we managed to lose consecutive competitive matches on penalties, a feat which is nigh-impossible. I can't even think how it would normally come about - cup matches across different competitions are almost always separated by a league match. I guess you could lose a European tie mid week and them lose the Carling Cup final (the only game in the tournament that is played at the weekend) the following Sunday?
We lost 2 consecutive games on penalties
Huddersfield Play Off Final
Burton League cup 1st round (played week before start of season) that useless Bastard who could only score penalties cored for us.

Hey there Fatty. Great question and thanks for asking.
1973-74.....20 April 1974...Final home game... Sheff Utd 1 QPR 1.....Att:17,933
Wasn't that the day Wendy lost 8-0 to Middlesbrough?
Also re the Chesterfield thing.... we played Swindon after the first Chessie game... doesn't that count?

oh yeah I see itSee above, i couldnt get my head around it then realised we played them last home game of the season.
Lots of Nick Blackman revisionism going on these days. He was a good player and we sorely missed him after selling him, indeed we crashed out of the picture for automatic promotion. He was one of our only real threats in a lacklustre squad.

I agree - the sarcasm was obviously missed
Yes, the scoreboard man (the scoreboard was in front of the partially built South Stand) was updating the Boro v Wendy score throughout the match score and before the final whistle of the Blades v QPR match. After the final whistle many Blades stayed in the ground to find out if Boro had scored anymore goals, the scoreboard man didnt have the number 8 so he made an 8 shape finger signal. There was an eruption of laughter around the stadium as the crowd made their way to the exits

No, no, no!!!
"At home in the LEAGUE two games in a row".
RTFQ.
If it does count then this week-end doesn't because we've played a play-off between the two Chezzie games.
I seem to remember Easter '74 we had the "pleasure" of playing Leeds literally back to back. Elland Road on the Monday and back at the Lane on Tuesday. Managed to get punched at both games so that's a bit of a record.
