Strange how things stick in your mind... The 86/87 Bradford one was an ice rink of a pitch, Ian Ormondroyd was like a ballerina on it and we were 5-0 down at half time (we bought him on the strength of that performance I seem to remember)... Best half time announcement ever followed asking one of the Latics fans to go to one of the turnstiles with a steward as he had his brothers ticket and he'd just turned up.

Instant memory recall on reading that. Yes Ormondroyd annihilated us on his own!

Was it ormandroyd who missed a penalty as well after being pelted with snowballs from behind the goal? Also my mate left at half time and got back to his car just in time to see it disappearing down the road.

The view this afternoon for the Latics’ fans. The large stand along the side of the pitch is the East stand which is usually given to the Away fans. Deliberate ploy by our hosts to reduce the impact of the Away following? Absolutely 🙂

Nah - they can't get a safety certificate for it as the roof is in need of repair

Too right that was "away", sat in sodding Newcastle.
