Weekend of 9/11/2001 (1 Viewer)

So, I was interested to find out who we played 10 years ago on the weekend just before that horrible day. It turns out it was Grimsby. It also turns out we lost! And people say things have got worse

Is that when Hedman got tackled about 40 yards out and there was the big Strachan/Richardson out protests?

 

[kg82]

I don't remember the game at all, must have repressed such an awful memory! The protests ring a bell though.

Yes, I remember Hedman wearing a cap and getting lobbed from 40-odd yards.

Phil Jevons was the scorer I believe

 

[Covstu]

just a round off for a depressing week!!!

 

[Sutty]

Strachan got sacked straight after as well.

Sums up how bad things were; I can remember a guy trying to get on the pitch to get at Strachan not only was it the most interesting thing in the whole game but the bloke came from the Main Stand for Christ sake!

On the actual day itself did we play peterboro in the leauge cup? winning on penalties after Carsley grabbed a last minute equalizer. I think i remember sitting in a grubby pub watching SSN wanting some team news but (understandedly) every channel was reporting the carnage unfolding in the States.

Grimsby got beat 5-0 at home to Braintree a few weeks ago...

I was living in LA.

I got the 'Are you alright' email about 50 times. I survived the tower collapse on the basis I was 3600 miles away.
