Sheltons Army Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 Came across this flashback to the fun days of 1990 Thought it might make Bring back some memories and a laugh for some. One of the funniest afternoons ever following City , with rumours every few minutes that the Sags were losing at Blackpool prompting yet another pitch invasion , with another invasion for every goal ! I think a few of us covered more ground than Dave Rennie that day ! Although I was in the middle of it , Watching it back it really is amazing the referee allowed the game to continue I’m sure if Nicky Morgans header hadn’t gone in , there were a few stood on the post ready to tap it in The numbers stood cramming the touchline for a large proposition of the match was crazy , not sure in all my years of football I can recall anything like it , City or elsewhere Joe wasn’t happy mind ....

Port Said Red Posted November 26, 2020 Report Share Posted November 26, 2020 I have noticed that some clubs seem to have an inordinate number of staff and stewards hanging around the stands, there seemed to be about 500 people watching our game against Bournemouth.

A great day. Yeah I remember that. I think they were on our side anyway as a win for them would have seen Forest promoted. And due to the events during the miners strike in 1984 there is a deep bad feeling towards the Nottinghamshire miners by the South Yorkshire miners and their families.

Both sets of fans on the pitch shaking hands. Never seen that before or since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible that because quite wealthy club, PL money, Parachute Payments maybe because they can, they are bringing matchday staff in- might it be PL and Parachute clubs or recent Parachute Clubs who tend to?

Preston away we had already lost interest, it seemed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
