That's not a bad looking team
26/02/83 we lost 5-1 we were 6th in the league when we lost
sealey thomas roberts butterworth dyson gillespie whitton francis hateley melrose hunt 8,000 at the match gillespie scored
Think I too was at that game. Did not a certain Brian Kilkline not destroy us that day or did I dream that bit?Notts county sometime in the early eighties i think, went for a "P" it literally was a wall with a trough at the bottom, no roof on it and it was pissing down, no roof on terrace either got soaked and we lost 5-1 i think, shittiest day at the footy ever.

Driving a mini bus to Sunderland with 15 piss heads onboard, police escort out of some services after fights, thefts and goodness knows what else, Police escort out of Darlington after more fighting and antisocial behaviour in a chippy
Lads pissing out the van as we drove along, throwing cans of beer at passing cars and people.
Totally piss poor 0-0 game with Speedie getting sent off, also fuck in freezing open terrace, coldest i have ever been.
Walking back to the mini bus getting legged by around 60 Sunderlands lads, Christ knows how I didn't get the biggest kicking of my life.
Eventualy rounding up my completely wasted mates, narrowly avoiding another good hiding.
Getting lost on the way back, arriving back in Cov about 5am
Not getting my deposit back on the minibus after the lads had trashed it.
Never driven a minibus to a away game since LOL
Great post westend ,these memories are about so much more than the mere game we all go to watch.
League cup match around 1990 was famously sent off for fighting with Gary Bennett (Benno's brother)
but he never touch him,Bennett had him round the throat.
