Harry Dowds Green Shirt Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 One of the best nights in Boundary Park history as goals from Adams, Ritchie, Barrett, Holden, Palmer and Ritchie saw West Ham trounced 6-0. Would be nice to see again tomorrow. West ham goals start at 5.30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

futchers briefs Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Top left of the Chaddy leaning on a blue barrier, behind the customary 6ft 4 guy, who always came and stood in front 2minutes before kick off. Didn't make an ounce of difference though - great night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th2003 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I had tonsilitis. My Dad would not let me go, even though I croaked my fitness, I had to wait until Midweek Sports Special on ITV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 oh how us 18,000 hardy souls enjoyed the "matchday experience" in those plush surroundings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macca Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I missed the game as I was too young then but I was allowed to stay up and listen to Piccadilly Radio and commentary from Stuart Pyke. I listened to most of the cup games that season on the radio, only seeing the FA Cup Semi's on the tv and the Littlewoods Cup Final live. I wouldn't change it at all.

Dave_Og Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 oh how us 18,000 hardy souls enjoyed the "matchday experience" in those plush surroundings If we won 6-0 every week in major cup semi-finals no-one woudlcare. But we don't and they do. And, yes I was there; probably my favourite Latics night ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajw65 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) you must have been stood near me And me - probably half way Up left side of chaddy. Remember going to return leg on one of Latics coaches and it dropped us right outside the Boleyn pub mid afternoon for a 7.30 kickoff! Pretty scary stuff after a 6-0 drubbing!

BP1960 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I was there, Neil Adams opening goal was for me probably the most uplifting of any goal scored by a Latics team, visions of the twin towers appeared before my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I was sat right in the corner of the lookers about 10 seats in and 2 rows from the back on the chaddy side, probably about level with the edge of the box. It was an amazing. It is a shame we will never have a side that good again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyPimp Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Lookers paddock for me because it was the cheapest area I knew to go in. I can remember the evening but not any of the goals. The return at Upton Park was the most uncomfortable night I've had as a Latic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis Enrique Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Was there that night back of the chaddy singin my heart out "has macari had a bet" "wheres your handbag julien " "were going to wembley twice". One of the best nights ever at boundary park if your to young to of been there times the atmosphere at goodison after maccas goal by ten. amazing night Watched my old vhs copy of this and southampton away only last week still get that same buz even now . I was thinking along similar lines. younger fans today just won't be able to imagine what that night was like. incredible team, incredible night, incredible atmosphere. will we ever see the like again? I was in the lookers near the hammers fans. when it got to 4-0 I remember a grizzled, middle aged fella standing up on his seat & dropping his trousers to literally wave his tackle at the pitch. horrifyingly gruesome & yet hysterical.
