Attendance

[Silent Blade]

I was on the pitch after the final whistle too. Was it Jeff King with the winner ?

Yes, scored twice

 

[ancientblade]

Pretty sure it was. Jeff King who tormented us on Boxing Day was a top player for us that season.

he certainly tormented sabella booting him 10 foot in the air in the first 5 minutes so much for big jacks pre match comment that he had no plans to mark sabella who after that was never seen for the remaining 85 minutes

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Yes, scored twice

Didn’t we score two late goals away at York City to win 4-3 also that season ?

I remember King as a left midfielder for us could score with head and foot in fact chipped in quite a few goals. Quite aggressive too as you say. Yeah Sabella fish out of water that day.

Yes, both headers from Mike Trusson

Quite aggressive?!!! Loved King, but there were moments when you'd think he'd burst a blood vessel such was his willingness to go over and beyond what was considered acceptable. Thing is, he could play a bit too. The fact that he had played for Wednesday didn't stop him from becoming a bit of a cult (yes, I said CULT) amongst some fans. We could have done with his like recently, so intense was he at times he would've taught Baldock a thing or two.

And, I think we could easily put him in the ‘dodgy perm’ 11. Along with Kenworthy and Conroy to name just two.

 

[Shawy24]

3 on our row left early and a couple below yesterday,serves the miserable (miss the traffic ) sods right,never understood that in a tight game.

Sorry bigger blade. We left at half time to make sure we attended an important pre arranged appointment. At least we gave them what we could. It’s not always that simple or black and white.

 

[HOT CURRIE 10]

Don’t be an arsehole (bigger blade) . I would never profess to be that to anyone,get off your high horse of stupid accusations or don’t even reply.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

I never leave early , many years ago in the 4th Division me & the mates left the ground early in disgust as we were losing 2-1 to Crewe .
On the way back to the station heard two big cheers … we’d scored two late goals and had won 3-2 …. Lesson learned

Jeff King ?

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Jeff King ?

Yes

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Yes

Twice
Vividly recall him running down r wing twating their lad repeatedly- incredible co- ordination - run with ball & punch @ same time

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Yes, both headers from Mike Trusson

Didn’t ‘Truss’ also get 2 very late goals mid week @ Northampton (3 sided stadium) or am I (again) conflating matches / seasons ?

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Apologies for being an echo wi’ the Jeff King stuff - ‘tired & emotional’ after yestdi

 

[Silent Blade]

Yes

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Yes

Yes conflating, or yes he (also) got 2 @ N/ton

 

[Silent Blade]

Yes conflating, or yes he (also) got 2 @ N/ton

Yes, my dad heard on the radio that we were lucky

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Yes, my dad heard on the radio that we were lucky

Aye
We were absolutely awful (& frozen through - no shelter with horizontal rain / sleet - hence reference to the ‘missing’ 4th (cricket ground side) stand
Only ever been colder once - 5-0 gubbing @ Watford in cup

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

And, I think we could easily put him in the ‘dodgy perm’ 11. Along with Kenworthy and Conroy to name just two.

Aye
Will you ‘accept’ Steve Neville to that select band ?
Tom Heffernan ?

yes he did become a bit of a cult figure after playing for wednesday as opposed to curran who was a c**t figure

 

[Wards]

Also why you should never leave early if you can manage not to.

I took that exact risk 7-0 down the other week.

 

[Dkc]

On the subject of leaving early, I often leave if we're a couple down with minutes to play. Can't remember us ever pulling it back after I've left. If there's only one goal in it I'll see it out.

People say 'would you leave a cinema before the film has ended?' The answer is yes if the outcome has been revealed and the film was shit.

Left early once, in Steve Bruce’s last game as a player. We were 5 nil down and had to drive to Buxton. Couldn’t see the point of staying the last 5 mins.

And for those not around in the 90s Sunderland still won 5-0

I thought it was 4-0? I do recall, Shaun Derry shot, it went wide but into the netting behind the goal, and the South and John Street Stands started celebrating. Even the goal music came on.....then the Sunderland keeper took a goal kick

You're right, it was 4-0, should have stayed!

 

[Brewster Cost £70 million]

that port vale match someone said above i was at that match dint we lose 3 zip aswell?,was it Adrian Heath in charge? only remember it coz the crowd was 8k or summat and i was on family stand watching the fireworks instead of match coz we were getting tonked.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

31.4k v Liverpool.. guessing a lot of ST holders didn't fancy it? No way was it that full. On SS infront me they were 8 seats together free then on JS looked scattered empty seats.

Still good support in that weather

Tiniest handful of empty seats. I'd say it was full, within a hundred. We had day ticket buyers sat near us on the kop in restricted seats.

A lot of people can't make it midweek - live further away, work etc.

This is why they need to do a buy-back scheme.
