Hillzider Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Remember the game 1-1 and pretty sure Nicky Morgan equalised from a corner. We had a good start after promotion but had had a couple of heavy away defeats leading up to this Leicester 0-3 and Wolves 0-4 so it was good to get a decent result. Actually had a good season and only missed out on the playoffs by 3 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, I might be wrong, when we played Millwall in 91 (lost 4-1, with a sheringham hattrick that pretty much guaranteed we wouldn't get into the play-offs), there was also Junior Lions in there with the the Junior Reds? The memory is buggered now, but I'm certain that at one stage the wall kids were singing away at which point the east end came back with 'you only sing in assembly' remembering how violent that game was, am surprised the Junior Lions weren't murdered!

OneCity Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 The West Ham game in 90 is a good shout. Remember that game and Morgan's equalizer, before that McAvenie scored, his stunning perm bouncing around as he celebrated. I knew this game was about the early 90's immediately. The dead giveraway was that steel-clad tower by the Hirerite sheds standing in the background. I remember that structure going up around that time.

Redtucks Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 4 hours ago, Redtucks said: Tue 28 Dec 1966, Bristol City 0 - 1 Wolves (Second Division) The first game played under those lights. Always remember getting in the ground and thinking "Christ aren't they bright" (after the little lamp posts that were there before). Then just before kick-off they turned them up another notch and it was almost blinding, or so it seemed!!! 1965 it was, not 1966. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however remember a monocled type in the enclosure (not, though in the section where Slarti and I were vital cogs in the Enclosure Crew). This guy was a real dandy who would wear a stiffly starched white shirt with a frock coat, on the back of which was emblazoned in red paint - "Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough".

But. Why were we playing with an 11H30 kick-off? Surely the miners' strike and three day week had finished by then? I presume the early kick off was the same reason tomorrow's game is, to avoid trouble. there were a number of incidents including a stabbing in this fixture in the 80's, this may have been the first time we'd played them for a while and so no chances were taken.

I was never truly sure of the intended meaning of this message. Ah that, on my frock coat, was a direct quote from the two girls on the cup special to Wolves back in '73. The monocle is a result of remembering the same two ladies for years after. Should have listened to my mum's advice I suppose. Still........
