History repeating itself

[1973Blade]

In 1999 we played Port Vale at home, lost 3-1 an awful performance which ended in a fans protest and Adrian Heath getting the sack. A similar result tomorrow could see the first protests against Nigel Clough. If I remember rightly that game was the last time we got a crowd below 10,000 for a league game.

And everyone who went remembers that Rob Kozluk cross into the kop

Nah mate, going on those who said they were there that day, at least 120 thousand made it into Bramall Lane. Our retrospective record crowd.

Only if you'd also mentioned Dame Shirley Bassey!

Seems us failing will excite you?

Very strange.

Not at all, I hope we win and would prefer us to keep Clough - at least until the end of the season. But if we lose tomorrow (and play poorly) I think the crowd will turn against Clough.

We we challenging for promotion when we played Port Vale too?

 

[Sothall_Blade]

Were we challenging for promotion when we played Port Vale in 1999?

And did Heath have a near 50% win record and two cup semi finals under his belt?

History is just what it is, going to have no influence on today's game apart from it will be the blades that win 3-1

 

[Dkc]

Done hat trick

 

[Bladebri]

Done hat trick

Sounds good to me

Not quite. It was later the same season against Crewe.
