That’s right! A lot of these old grounds certainly had ‘character’. I remember going to molineux in the early 90s; two of the stands were closed and the main/newest stand was about 30 metres away from the pitch!

The thing I remember mostly about the baseball ground was the restricted view for away fans, due to the very low roof/stand above.

Yeah, i haven’t really thought this through. Hmmm... If we lose (as if!)I just won’t speak to them again until next season. If we win I’ll increase the onslaught and start sending them flares, bottles, and bags of shit in the post...it’s the coventry way!

A win against Pompey and it’s time to collectively start shitting ourselves. As an aside, I am however enjoying bombarding my Pompey supporting parents with goading texts. Along the lines of “conor’s Gonna get you”, “fuck of you Pompey scum” etc etc I’m a 41 year old father of two. They are in...

Wasn’t our pitch in the early 90s mostly sand?

Surely Conor Chaplin’s gonna get the winner, then score a hat trick against them at Wembley?

Yeah, I guess...but essentially we’d have to win 5 of the next 6 and not get battered in one of them. One game at a time. I can’t be thinking too far ahead. Next up Pompey.

Shit. We really do.

I’m just happy to know my memory still works on occasions. Livingstone went on a goal scoring run of JCH proportions. Im sure he had 8 in 4 at one stage. I think I always knew he wasn’t that good but enjoyed his purple patch.

Really?! Didn’t we score 5 past them in the 90s? Steve Livingstone scoring 4? If memory serves me correctly.

Does anyone know if Bradford are down yet?

Claim it Grendel!!!

He’s been a nice bloke around the training ground...sign him up!

He’s absolutely right! And i also agree with the caller that it’s ok to celebrate in that horrendous way if you play for Newcastle or if you are Aiden McGeedy playing against Preston.

My dad ended up a steward at HR. He had a face off with a load of Pompey fans that day, threatening violence etc...what goes around comes around!

Christ! Reading these I’ve either been very lucky or going to different games to everyone else! The nearest I’ve had to trouble was getting told to “sit the fuck down” after celebrating when cov scored against Pompey at HR in about 1988...and that was by Pompey supporting dad. Prick.

A good couple of subtle digs in there too... “It may be 83 years since they were last champions of the land and 46 since they collected a major trophy...”

Exactly. Just how the club did with their pre-match tweet about us being late. Supporting Sunderland is their crime, it is also their punishment.

That would’ve been in Coleman’s time.
