Plus Willie Carr, Quinton Young, Gary Gillespie and I'm sure others that I've missed. Not sure that O'Rourke was Scottish though - always thought he was English?

You're both right really. Derby was the first Sunday game, but it was FA Cup. Blues was the first Sunday league game,

God, it was cold that night - and we were only in September (I think)

I remember that one as Get into ‘em - Fuck the ball

21k would be disappointing for tomorrow, but a few years ago if you'd said you'd be disappointed by "only 21k" against unfashionable opponents, you'd have been locked up for your own safety!

We all agree Coventry City are magic or its close relation We all agree Ian Wallace is magic or depending on who we were playing, something like We all agree Nottingham Forest are tragic

Didn't we sign Noel Whelan pretty soon afterwards?

Interesting. They were certainly blanked out when I was looking this morning, but they're back now.

It was difficult to tell if they were any good or not in the first half hour, as they hardly had a kick of the ball!

Think the Ipswich game was called off due to floodlight failure. I remember the programme for the next home game had a jokey article that said that Colin Stein's header, that gave us the lead, had been so powerful it had drilled into the ground and gone through the power cable! Worrying that I...

It was reported a few days after the match that we'd been very close to signing a certain Chris Coleman (wonder what happened to him?) but that after conceding 5 to us Blackburn came in with a late bid for him and he went there instead.

The forecast says that despite being cold, it'll be sunny on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Maybe that will inspire a few more to head to the CBS????

I remember watching us play Forest at the City Ground. We were all standing behind the goal and lots of stewards came round telling us to sit. I pointed out that the home fans in the stand to our left were all standing and no one was telling them to sit, but as you might imagine, that was not...

I remember both. We were getting stuffed in the Sheffield Utd game until it was abandoned. IIRC it was replayed after Noel Cantwell had been sacked and Bob Dennison was in temporary charge. You're right that we won, but I thought it was 3-2?

If our SAG has carried out proper research that shows that they have a better way of crowd management than (pretty much) every other club in the country, then I’m sure we’d all be interested to see it. Presumably, all those other clubs that don’t currently see a need to keep massive empty...

The issue is not atmosphere at the expense of safety though. The issue is atmosphere at the expense of the perception that there might perhaps one day be a bit of a safety problem, even though other grounds seem to manage without problems despite not having such measures in place. How far do...

We seemed to go for decades with no changes and then we get lots of modifications. It still doesn't feel right to me when the kick off goes backwards!

That always used to be the case, but I think that that rule has been changed.

I'm pretty sure that they changed the rules last summer or the one before, so that if the ball hits the ref the game has to be stopped and restarted by a drop ball.

Given our existing issues with hamstrings and muscle tears, I'm not sure that would be such a good idea...
