Fireworks

[Marcus Tullius Cicero]

Nowt else going on so can anyone settle this argument; in fact both of us old farts can only agree that we were playing Leeds on a Tuesday night. One of us says we lost 0-3 and the other 1-2, it was before the south stand was built and fireworks should have gone off at the final whistle on the cricket pitch side but someone set them off prematurely with time still to be played. Also one of us thinks Redgates sponsored the fireworks, the other argues against this but can’t remember why we had fireworks. Anyone remember this match from the early seventies?

Looking at that. Neither are right with the scoreline

0-2, I thought we had scored and I am going to stick my neck out and say it was Wigfalls who sponsored the fireworks, no dafter than Redgates

Ah Tynemouth, you must remember the days. I was trying to explain pre-supermarket shopping to the youngsters of today. I told them that every neighborhood had a butchers, fish mongers and a veg shop etc. Everyone knew everyone so the standard of costumer service was fantastic, hello Mr Ray what can I do for you today etc. We looked after everyone in the community, as kids we would run errands for the old folk. I remember stood in the green grocers waiting with a shopping list that my gran had given me and overheard a conversation that went sort of like this between the grocer and an old spinster that lived on our street. Hello Miss Mobs what can I get for you today, she says she would like some broccoli, the green grocer says we have no broccoli, how about some sprouts, fresh in today. Miss Mobs says yes I will have some broccoli, the green grocer says look we have no broccoli how about some of these nice string beans. Yes says Miss Mobs some broccoli. The green grocer is getting a bit pissed off so he says look miss Mobs I know you are a very intelligent woman can you spell dog as in dogmatic. DOG she replies, the grocer says can you spell cat as in catastrophe. CAT she replies now can you spell f*ck as in broccoli. Miss Mobs thinks for a moment and says there is no f*ck in broccoli, the grocer says I know that's what I have been trying to tell you for the last 15 minutes

Oh well, we both lose so we have to buy each other a gallon of Magnet or equivalent. Seriously that was 75 and I finished up getting arrested for letting Leeds fans kick the sh*t out of me. Dont tell me that was the night of the fireworks, no wonder I was confused "-(

Ravoblades is correct that the score was 1-1. It was on Easter Tuesday 1975. The firework display was supposed to have got set off after the final whistle but it went off in the dying minutes which seemed to stun the L**ds players and Cammack took advantage by whacking in the equaliser at the Kop End

Sorted, I must have separated the match and the kicking in some kind of post traumatic stress denial. I have the same thing from when we beat West Ham, remember, a quality goal.. My mate insisted I was there, that was the game when the West Ham fans cornered us in Ponds Street and after the match them Wendy fans had a pop at us as they were at home on the same day, now I know you are talking rubbish, no true Wendy was at home on the same day... Silent?

Wendy drew 0-0 at Cardiff on the same day as we beat Hammers 3-2
