this used to be the norm in the 80s the 183/4 around 12 from town would go onto OT when they were at home as would the 82 when citeah were at home 

same at BP in the 70s would be a line of busses up sheepfoot lane to shaw rochdal and ashton etc  all the drivers would be stood in the main stand paddock for the last 15 mins

I stood on the Kop for that game, figured it might be my one and only trip to Anfield (to date, it was!) so I was curious what it would be like. I remember the Jimmy Case goal very well, and being shoved about 20 feet forward after it!

 

That Liverpool side won the European Cup only 3 months later. They were a hell of a side but we played really well on the day. 

Also stood on the Kop for that one with my dad and brother aged 11 lifted to the front and generaly treated well

I think this was the issue a few years ago (I think under Corney). Wasnt there a game with free admission but you had to get a ticket in advance?

 

Im certain there was a sellout but then on the night only 10k-11k turned up as a lot over ordered tickets. As a result there was hundreds outside (who turned up not realising you had to have a ticket) not able to get in.

 

That may well be incorrect but no doubt someone here will be happy to correct me.

 

Appreciate the circumstances are slightly different here. Something different from the club, a little damned if they do and damned if they dont, hopefully all get in who want to and as a result support a very worthy cause.

Celebration sunday when we thumped Grimsby was free entry with NO tickets resulted in utter chaos iirc season ticket holders locked out as ground full way before kick off think someone has learned from that one

£1 entrance for everybody including away fans but it’s ticket only!

No pay on the day I think they’ve dropped a bollock there!!

Thinks back to celebration sunday and the chaos that ensued that day with season ticket holders locked out .think this is the better solution for now to gauge interest

I cannot believe that there are still posters who think money can be made from running/owning a football club. do they never read a paper or look at  BBC Sport etc and see what a money pit football is at just about every level?

Think the qoute  is " how do you make a small fortune from owning a football club "  ? " start with a large fortune "

Did it piss it down on them in that open end Rocky back then, if it was the same game they scored the 3 goals in the last 5 minutes iirc. To be fair Plymouth always travelled well despite how they were playing.

That was pompey 91 wasnt it ?

Always seamed to have time on the ball effortless movement be it to tackle or recieve a pass made the game look easy

Lots of talk of Norwood going back to Barnsley on Twitter. Surely there’s nothing in that and it’d cost em far too much money for us to even contemplate it? Seems a bizarre rumour, but i’ve seen it a few times now. 

One guy posting the same unfounded wishfull thinking is lots of talk ? You will beliving ibby & faz next 

Think the "Hard league to get out of " line is more a reference to the one auto promotion place and one up through the lottery of the play offs . Yes there are a lot of "dog shit " teams in this league only takes one of them to get lucky in the playoffs and your seasons gone .

Some people just like the hyperbole.

 

It sounds like it wasn't a great performance but I'd rather be a team who steals wins than be gallant losers.

This weve been Gallandlt losers far to often over the last 30 years if winning ugly gets us up the leagues im all for it

I would imagine it’s permanent. If anything, whatsoever, happened to Frank his family would automatically take over his authority. I wouldn’t expect Joe Royle to be in the same financial health as Frank. But Joe would be a real positive on the Board of Directors. 

Frank is a minority  share holder his children own the bulk of the shares already he just acts as the figure head as its his personality to be front and center if he died tommorow  there would be little differance to the running of the club 

A good four minutes of the added time was for there player who hobbled off add the second goal and subs theres your six minutes
