World War Two Bomb

[1973Blade]

Apparently Sunday's play-off final is under threat because an unexploded bomb has been found near Wembley. This kind of thing usually only happens to us!

Why only Sunday's!

 

[Ben_1982]

You can play Saturday's and Monday's, but not Sunday's!!!

Happens often here, usually defused and removed pretty fast.

That's German efficiency for you

Nothing to worry about football wise but the real tragedy is that the Britain's Got Talent studio has been evacuated.

It still hasn't gone off, seventy-odd years later. Efficiency schmefficiency.

Could be because it's a time bomb

Didn't the Blades game get called of once? Against Ipswich they found an UXB. Frankfurt Blade you are right about German Every time they build something in the Frankfurt Mannheim, Heilbronn erea the job always takes longer because they find a bomb.

It is a real tragedy - that they were evacuated. Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, etc, and a bunch of talentless wannabes, all in the same place with an unexploded bomb next to it. Opportunity missed I'd say!

It was against Oldham in February 1985. I was in London that weekend but did watch the Oldham game that was re-arranged for a few days later!

And here it is, the one found on Lancing Road which postponed the Oldham game. A 1000kg Hermann

Interestingly, or maybe not as it were, the programme for the game had a full page article on Lee Chapman,. Good planning that.

I'd come back to Sheffield for the weekend to watch the game. I was gutted to hear the game was under threat.
On the Friday night I watched an episode of Dempsey and Makepeace which was all about diffusing a bomb.

I thought if it's only taking these two an hour surely the army will sort out the one on Lancing Road by 3pm the next day. Desperation leads to irrationality.

Paddy McGeeney was all set to make his debut as Tom Heffernan was injured, but Heffernan had recovered by the Tuesday, so McGeeney had to wait until the game v Leeds a month or so later.

I was at the rearranged game and it was bloody freezing. We won 2-0, with spectacular 25 yard own goal lobbed over his own goalie by Oldham defender Hoolickin and an Edwards goal when he was put through one on one with the goalie.
