Middle of the Chaddy end, March 1990 FA Cup QF -v- (1st Div leaders) Aston Villa, 2nd half - 20,000 in attendance. In front of the Chaddy End, Villa full back Chris Price inadvertently knocks the ball past his own keeper (Spink?) and the ball trickles in slow motion into the net with the whole Chaddy End sucking it in....... cue the biggest crowd surge I ever experienced in the Chaddy - ended up near the fence !! Good times.

I'd transport myself back to Sunday 17th May 1987, seconds after Mike Cecere put us 2-0 -v- Leeds. I'd invade the pitch and take Keith Edwards down !

Crowds under 3k suggest this has already been done. Has it made a difference?

I havent seen Henry's 'goal' since my sister recorded over the match in the 90's with episodes of Brookside. I have still yet to see anyone post it on youtube, only united fans edit of the match that mysteriously leave it out. Anyone out there got the footage?

They are doing ok, but even latics have topped league one at this stage of the season - plenty of time to choke yet.... hopefully.

Something you need to get off your chest?

Remind me what success have the last two had in the modern era?

No beer barrel ?

As was I, keeping quiet when Robbie stunned the Kop was inhumane.

Brings a tear to the eye....

The 85-87 ("Lees" on white band) kit needs an official revival..

We're flogging a dead horse now.

If Bradford end up in the final with Swansea, they have every chance of lifting the league cup.

Of the 10 guys in the pic I can recall the names of 9 of them, anyone help out with the guy at the top between Hoolickin and McBride.

I thought these days attendances are tickets sold rather than bums on seats, thats why Arsenal's attendance comes in just over 60,000 every match despite thousands of empty seats.

...and

Scanned in from an old book I have...

Also, how about the club advise fans to retain their liverpool stub in the event of a replay or (positive thinking) victory. Otherwise could you imagine the scrum for tickets if United are drawn.

We've got an aussie and his name is dougie hodgson, whoa dougie hodgson.

Velcro is a rip-off.

I'm sure this kind of banter happens all the time, just happened to be caught on a mic. Good to see officials arent robotic drones.

If we're gonna leave 300 seats empty, they might as well given them the whole end. They'll be all over the ground anyway.

Any word on numbers remaining?

Worst away day for me was Barnsley (away) - August 1995 There were supposed to be 3 coaches, 1 x executive and 2 x standard - The exec filled up and and went but only one standard turned up and quickly filled - leaving 70 of us stranded on the Lookers car park at about 1pm. The 70 leftovers (inc me) were then told the club forgot to book the 2nd coach and we were told to go forget the match and go home !! Most did, however a hard-core 20 of us refused to accept this and refused to leave the Latique shop until they booked another coach. At 2.30pm in what I can only describe as a post-war Sharabang pulled up in a cloud of smoke and we were duly whisked off to Oakwell, finally getting in just before half time ! ......We lost. The following week my mum (not to be crossed) lambasted Alan Hardy on the phone and I got a £20 Latique voucher ! Happy days.

SC's first priority should have been to ensure the Oldham section was filled with Oldham fans, ST's x2 with the seat numbers noted (just in case of resale), then Brentford stubs or a double header ticker for Liverpool/Next home game. Takes me back to December 1996, sitting in front of the Police Box/Lookers paddock and being the only Latics fan standing and going mad when Banger&Ormondroyd stunned City - City fans had bought most of the paddock in an open sale.
