I was in for Brian Atkinson's debut.Who were the mad bastards who used to stand on the roker end in weather like last night?
Always amazed me that, 3 sides of roker were covered, the roker could be battered by the weather on a Tuesday night in November v someone shit and hardly souls would decide on the roker end.
Probably knew each other then. I always went to the match with Tom - both home and away in the mid to late 70's.Hmm yes me too
Aye more than likely do just ask Tom he knars me well.Probably knew each other then. I always went to the match with Tom - both home and away in the mid to late 70's.
We were in contact about it the other day having a trip down Amnesia Lane.
Nee bother.Aye more than likely do just ask Tom he knars me well.
Yes - but how wet were you at the final whistle ?I was at that one too. I had a big corduroy duffle coat on and it weighed a ton by the end
just had a flashback to a sunny afternoon against blackpool including alan ball and the run out music was 'a walk in the black forest'

Not as wet as when Maguire plays
It was painted red in the summer of 83I went in a few times. My biggest memory was that with the terracing being painted red, it used to be slippy as fuck.
I was in the Main Stand paddock for the Birmingham game. Never seen the Roker End as sparse before or after. The ground seemed 3 sided. There was a line of guys with brollies sheltering on the back wall and that was about it.I remember being in the Roker for an early season game against Birmingham, who had a young and brilliant Trevor Francis, must have been about 1971. The rain was incredible. Stair rods...and there were only about 7,000 of us daft enough to be there. Not sure if my memory is playing tricks but Bobby Park might have got one of his bad leg fractures in this game.
Also remember the peanut man ("tanna-a-bag, peanuts!') throwing them up from the cinder track into the Roker End.
Great place to watch the action. Also got a Roker End ticket for the 1973 Man City replay...got a perch where the Roker joined the Clock Stand, quite high up, a brilliant view of the greatest night (IMO) Roker Park ever saw...what an atmosphere, what a performance and what a team.
He sent me that pic im sure of a mob of you in Oxford..Nee bother.
As we're away to Oxford this weekend, I remember when we went down to Oxford in the 70's. Got there early in the morning after leaving from Tennicks on a Friday night.
Tom still has a photo of us at some monument in Oxford city centre - waiting for the pubs to open.
We had poliss helmets on, and were directing the traffic!!
Happy days.
