Guest Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Thorn security but Nibor kit. Fairly sure that’s 92/93 Derby - 2-1 win, Morgan and Tins (p) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poland_exile Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 I'd place it as the 93 match as well, hundreds locked out, gates going in, mad old atmosphere that night in the open end! @Tinmans Love Child - that def wasn't our last league derby mind, we were playing them regularly in the 90s, think the last league derby at AG was the Christmas match in 2000?

East End was seated in 91 - we played the gas in the league right at the start of that season, Big Wayne getting the winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Alexander getting sent off when we were 2-0 to the good and then Rovers had their best spell of the game a player short and Marcus Stewart pulled one back for them and things then got a bit nervy.

Oh Louie louie Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 93, looks like to me. i think thats martin scott in 1 picture? Thorn secruity was 93 and i think dry blackthorn was 94 the purple shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 I also reckon it’s the 2-1 win (goals from Morgan and Tinnion - one of his first games for us I think). Alexander’s sending off was for handball - quite a spectacular diving save. Memorable win with chants of “**** off Irene” echoing around the ground.

Oh Louie louie Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 They only had 2 seasons in the old divison 2 then. As far as i can remeber they finished bottom of the divsion by miles that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I can't remember so clearly but he could well have been, or he might've left not long before and John Ward might have been in his early management days there. I recall that Rovers were relegated that season as we were singing '**** Off, Irene, **** Off F Off Irene, F Off Irene, F Off Irene the Gas are going down'. And they did.

I think it was Tins home debut and his wife had just given birth too. Dunno why but recall ‘Tinnions bundle of joy’ headline on the EP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they did. yes! the **** Off Irene was deafening ringing around the ground. I've got one of those snapshot memories of the Dolman literally rising as one at half-time to sing it and the rest of the ground joining in - can't imagine the Dolman like that again And I think you're right about John Ward. This was definitely the season that Malcolm Allison was in charge of the 4-0 win over us (having not been at the 3-0 at Trumpton, this goes down as my worst away game as a city fan ever!!!) but seem to remember he didn't last all that long there. How different was football then!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
