Monty Burns Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 somebody asked at the forum and they were possibly sideswiped by the question but quickly said yes of course we will be doing. possible OASF said they would be involved, but l may jus be appropriating them with all that is good. no flesh for you, sorry. but yes.

You're joking, aren't you? You wouldn't celebrate our first promotion/trophy for 33 years? I'll be taking a week off work, drinking heavily and setting smoke bombs off in the garden every day...

Each to their own. I'd have no problem getting on board with any over the top ceremony the club decides to have. As we know more than anyone - it might be the only chance we get!

LaticMark Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 1973 - 1974 season: Tony Bailey, Ronnie Blair, Harry Dowd, Paul Edwards, Colin Garwood, Alan Groves, Tony Hateley, Keith Hicks, George Jones, Mike Lester, Andy Lochhead, Alan McNeill, George McVitie, Dick Mulvaney, Chris Ogden, Ian Robins, Andy Sweeney, Maurice Whittle, and Ian Wood. All familiar names to a certain generation of supporters. Messrs Dowd, Groves, Lochhead, and Sweeney - sadly - are no longer with us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worcester Owl Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 So many great games that season. One disappointment I remember well though was losing at home to Charlton. Boundary Park was rammed for that match, a real anti-climax. But we had a great Easter and it all ended well eventually. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, remember being part of the pitch invasion at the end of that match, and Jimy Friz coming out and said we still have matches to come to win the league and he was right, KTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember him and I've got a shocking memory for players and previous seasons. Think he came from Derby. Also remember Alan McNeill picking up dad, me and my brother and taking us to the dogs at Halifax I think or maybe Bradford. Also Paul Edwards buying us some chips in Shaw as we were out with his cousin!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
