Cheers Roy

 

[Speedracer]

Thanks Roy.

I hope the fan going to Bramhall Lane finds his way there & his mates tell him about the events at Bramall Lane.

 

[Groucho Blade]

Cheers Roy…gloomy lot aren’t they?
I was also at that famous match in ‘71 and can confirm we had more shots than the 6 mentioned. We were rampant.
Same sort of performance and score tomorrow, please

 

[Balham]

Hang on... not a single "Sheffield" and only one misspelling of Bramall Lane. Are you sure you don't just make these up Roygbiv ?

Me too, one of the best night matches I have ever been to. We were rampant & they resorted to dirty tactics with twat Warboys breaking John Hope's nose with a butt.

Miserable Welsh fuckers, always preferred TNS.

 

[Shirty Blade]

Warboys was aptly named as I recall.

“Wouldn’t it be funny if we beat them and Luton Town overtook them into Automatic Promotion.”

No.

 

[Bobby b]

Thanks Roy, they're hoping for a 1 nil defeat, then we're all in agreement then, what's the point in playing the game, everyone would be happy

 

[Balham]

Look again....

The best forgeries are imperfect

 

[Houston_Blade]

This has got Rotherham at home written all over it for me. The expectation that we'll just turn and brush these aside is nauseating.

 

[bornablade]

Thanks Roy.

Great references to 1971 game. Kop was rammed that night. What an atmosphere.

Great to be a 15 year old in those days.

 

[burtonstreetblade]

My favourite ever game. Under the floodlights. Packed Kop swaying. Fantastic football. Brilliant team.

 

[Harry's Game]

Have we ever beaten three teams from Wales at home in the same season?

Muchos appreciatos panchero !

At least twice, from Revolution's digging from after we played Swansea!

To answer your early question, in 1982-3 we beat Wrexham, Cardiff and Newport, all 3 home games being 2-0 to us. That’s the only season we’ve ever played 3 Welsh teams in the same season before this one, I think.

Found another season: in 1951-2 we beat Swansea 5-0 and Cardiff 6-1 at home in the league, and Newport 2-0 in the FA Cup at home.

maths not their strong point i guess..........

That’s research of Silent Blade proprtions, although he probably knew it off the top of his head, wouldn’t need to look it up

Funnily enough we have 76 points from 40 games this season and in 70/71 after beating Cardiff we had 75 points from 41 games when you convert up to 3 points for a win rather than 2 .

Interesting

 

[Fatlad666]

Cheers Roygbiv for your time and effort again sir

 

[N20 Blade]

I remember them scraping a 1-0 away win on a very windy night during the division three promotion under Bassett. It was a horrible night and match. We need to prepared for something similar and out battle this lot. Big game.

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Cannae wait for this. 9.30pm ko here, I'll be pissed up and live on actual telly and not blades TV.

I predicted 1-0 vs Wigan so am going nuts in on this and a comfortable 3 nil blades win. We'll be well up for it

Three points for a win was introduced for the first time in 1981-82, it would have saved us from relegation to the 4th division if the new points system was introduced a season earlier!
