We made Wakefield our stop over. Bloody Hell what a place. Anything goes doesn’t come close.
Exactly this. I was driving back to Nottingham too, and the route took me through Stoke. It was very painful watching all their smiley faces go the other way.I was living in Nottingham at the time and travelled over from there. Had to come back opposite all the stoke fans returning from Notts County. Eventful day and typical of following Sunderland
exactly this. A naar it was the racecourse ground but the pitch must've been at least 50% horseshit and smelled like it.Yup. On the pitch at the end of the game celebrating. Then found out results had not gone our way. Wrexham fans jeered so we turned and ran at their end. They scattered. Great day
Same age as I was back then, 16.Was there too.
Such euphoria when we scored
Absolutely fantastic, on the pitch like everyone else.
Bloke was walking past us saying Stoke had won.
Didn't believe him.
One of many many lows following the lads, when that bloke on the mike announced Stoke had won, I think 1-0 at Notts County, with an 88th minute goal.
I was only 16, so put a bit of the pitch in my pocket and put it in a plant pot at home! FFS
Was a bit narked on the bus home, when the reporter at Notts County went on about how wonderful the 3,000 or so Stoke fans were (who must have travelled all of 50 miles or so).
They were magical, Janey. I don't know if it was the youth thing and everything being rose tinted or just some of the dross that has been churned out it recent years
Still got me Kevin Arnott, Gary Rowell and Shaun Elliott badges that I pinned on to me scarf that was tied round me wrist.
Those were the days
God I miss away games

Definitely the youth thing. I first started going to away games regularly in 1990. Absolutely magical times.They were magical, Janey. I don't know if it was the youth thing and everything being rose tinted or just some of the dross that has been churned out it recent years
About 79 for me mate. Could even hire a car for a weekend at 18 years old then. How times have changed. We had some great weekends away following the lads. Cardiff 80, was it? I will never forgetDefinitely the youth thing. I first started going to away games regularly in 1990. Absolutely magical times.
@HeaderDownBrown you know the lad J. His user name is from me burning his lugs about this game
