Yes, I guess my restraining order won't matter then will it. I think I'll let Lee be his assistant, he hasn't done too badly lately. #DreamTeam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks a terrif old style ground...and my my mate in Sunderland used to go to school in Monkwearmouth (just across the road I believe). Never mind..the Stadium of Shite is very much on the agenda for next season Not been the the SofL but went up to Roker once: managed to convince a friend from work (a Crewe fan) to drive me up. Dire 0-0 from what I recall. Sometime early 1990s. Remember watching the 1-1 on telly. They gave us an absolute shoeing that match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Rich Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 It was the season they walked the league! It was at the stadium of light, I was there! We were chanting 1-0 your only winning 1-0! And We're in your half again, we're in your half again! The were all over us but we stole a point, i think they only lost 2-3 times that year.

Offside Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I remember watching the game in the pub. They were all over us and Welch was superb, but as the game wore on there was that sense that luck was on our side and we'd get something out of it. Great strike by Soren Andersen.

Kibs Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Remember it well. Absolutely battered us. Andersen scored an absolute screamer last minute. Oh and was definitely Welch in goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFiGO!?! Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I wasn't there but I remember it better than yesterday. I was 16 at the time and just getting into away games, S/T being a must etc and City being of absolute central importance. It was early in the season and we were struggling to adapt to the second flight, having an unbalanced squad having spent millions on attackers. Shaun Taylor was out injured long term and several clubs had driven a wide load through our feather weight defence. John Ward was still in charge. We took an absolute pummelling. It was different to going away with a good defensive game plan, ala on Saturday. Sunderland should and could have won it by six. It was a miss-match an I don't remember a City game quite like it. They woz robbed! I can only assume there were several inspired performances. I'd be surprised if I don't have VHS footage of it back at my parents place. We did lose 4-1, 5-0 and 6-1 that season and were ultimately relegated but that night we got away with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foghornred Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Seen us play at Roker Park a few times but the game at the Stadium of light was on TV so watched it in a pub as I was working and couldn't go, So lets hope that it isn't another midweek game !

I was in with the locals also. I got a torrent of abuse when Anderson equalised. Politely handed a beer in a Shields pub by some geezer that had been shouting abuse at me during the game. How that game ever ended 1-1? One of the most one sided 1-1s I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 I went to the Soren Anderson game as I was working up there at the time and we totally robbed them TBH as they absolutely battered us, should have been out of sight. I also went to Roker when we won 1 nil, that was 'different'. When we were drawing, the home support nearest our lot were all about 12, then when we scored, the 12 year olds moved aside to be replaced by a load of giants! All there was between us was a bit of tape IIRC. Roker was quite a scary place at the time, would have been late 80's I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Red Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Remember us winning 3-0 or 3-1 at Roker, would have been just after Denis Smith took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stood on a side terrace/ paddock from memory? Shame about capitulating in the 2nd leg. I think we were on top for the first half, then collapsed in the 2nd!

ashton_fan Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 The season we got promoted to Div 1 (1975-76) we came second to Sunderland in Div 2. Late in the season we had a big midweek game at Roker and came away with a creditable 1-1 draw, Gerry Sweeney scored for us with a fantastic shot from outside the box. The following season Sunderland went back down, I went to Roker again in midweek after they'd gone quite a few games without scoring a goal. I remember it was an awful game, a complete contrast to the previous season, a real relegation scrap and they managed to score right at the end, that was a very depressing journey home.

BCFChris Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I was there. I remember that we left at about midday and got to Sunderland about 5:30 pm due to traffic. Upon arrival my Mate asked a steward if they were confident of a win and he said he was Toon Army and hoped we battered em. Songs from memory included "your half, were in your half again, were in your half again" as we had spent most of the first half and all of the second camped in defense. We also sang "my garden shed" as from memory the Stadium of Light was very small Eventually got back home about 4 am in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS15_RED Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 As long as this is a Saturday, and not when I'm in Munich for the weekend in September, I shall be going to this. I've done all the other grounds in the North East with City, so need this to complete the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
