Oh Louie louie Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 I went to that game, it was on a sunday i recall. Recall being rather green around the gills on the coach. Junior always delivered in big games when he played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No spoilers NTTDS! Was it the only time we played a side sponsored by a company who later also sponsored us, with the same logo, at their own stadium?

LocoPal Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Someone should definately annoy Simpson with this 'You scored a hatrick and still lost against us' fact at the next interview. Who's feeling brave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finbarr_in_z Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 An interesting game for me. Living in Derby I used to occasionally watch Derby County as a neutral. I'd go to all the City games in the Midlands & Yorkshire. That season the fixture list meant that I could go to loads of City away games, plus a lot of Derby home games, so I bought a season ticket at Derby (bear with me!) in the stand on the right as the cameras looked. Turned out hilarious that season as Derby had a new millionaire backer and turned out to be $h!t much to my amusement. Anyway I digress..... For this game I already had a Derby season ticket, then I found it was live on TV - in those days that meant watch it down the local (Derby) pub. 2 options. Wow. Then the company I worked for offered me a place in their executive box for the game. 3 options! Blimey. Hold on, in the exec box meant dressing smart & being reasonable - not my normal match day experience. So I took the 4th option - pay to go in the away end. Absolutely correct decision. Highly likely that the bricks raining down on us as we left the away end after the game were being thrown by people I sat next to for the rest of the season. Happy days.
