Opening day of 91/92 season

[1973Blade]

The results on the opening day of the 91/92 season, the last second season we had in the top flight. John's Uncle Robert ruined our day at Carrow Road, three future United managers score and Big Ron's return to Hillsborough ruins Wednesday's day!

 

[Digs blade]

Went to that game. Took the girlfriend at the time with me as a special treat for her, she hated football

Is that what finished your relationship?

 

[Gavlar]

Sir Brian of Deane often scored on the first day of the season.

 

[Digs blade]

Is that what finished your relationship?

No. She did dump me but not until around 18 months later. First love and all that so was gutted but soon moved on

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Wimbledon, Oldham, Notts County and Luton all in the division.

My, how things have changed.

With the possible exception of Wimbledon (MK or AFC), can't see them getting into the EPL ever again

The age of chivalry was still in good nick back then

I wonder how many relationships have been saved, because girlfriends can't go to away games now unless they have at least 40,000 loyalty points!

Piss poor attendances all round.

Wilder didn't score however. Wilder out!!

 

[1973Blade]

Me too. Barclays end

Were away fans at Norwich behind the goal in those days? I prefer away fans being behind the goal, it makes it a better atmosphere.

Chelsea got a lower crowd than West Ham, in the days before Chelski.

 

[Eza Blade]

I think I’ve got end of season video from this year. Blade runner or summat

 

[Yan The Man]

Me too. Barclays end

Was sat in the same stand some years later when we won 1-0 think Nathan Blake scored

No, I was with my good friend from school who supports Norwich. From 1986 until 2004 I always watched Norwich v Blades with my mate in Barclays End (apart from the 1990/91, 1992/93 and 1993/94 seasons when I was in the away section), and for Blades v Norwich he was with me in the Kop/John Street/South stand

Really pissed on us chips, winning 2-0 and then uncle Fleck turned up.
Long way home it was.

Never realised we were 2-0 up. I was on holiday in Majorca at the time and had to wait for the newspaper to find out the score. How times have changed!

I was standing up in the away end terrace behind the goal that day.

I was standing up in the away end terrace behind the goal that day.

Away section was always in the same place as it is now, never behind the goal

 

[benn5712]

I was standing up in the away end terrace behind the goal that day.

Side terrace each time I've been.

 

[I'll tell me dad.]

Side terrace each time I've been.

I could have sworn I was behind the goal. I stand corrected if not. (Please don't tell me I didn't have a full head of hair and a 32 inch waist either).

 

[I'll tell me dad.]

Just watched video definitely end terrace. It was split with Norwich fans to our right.
