Always remember some years ago an away game at Oxford where the fog was that thick the 1st we knew city had scored was when the players came running back celebrating.

I reckon that was 1-1 and both goals were at the Oxford end so didn’t see either

Yes I think you are correct, some years ago, guessing over 30

Had to look it up. Think it must have been November 91

I remember some wag In the City end asking ‘Anyone want to buy a boat?’ During the minute’s silence for Robert Maxwell

WBA have not won in 74 years at Oakwell.

Not a bad guess at 30 years

Reminds me of that game down at Torquay back around 2005. Think we won something like 4-0 but all the goals were down the other end before half time, no one had a clue we had scored until a group of red shirted players come back to the half way line still celebrating each time.

We were in the open end, from nowhere Garland hit the bar . I seem to remember they waited until they didn't have to refund the money , to call it off.

IIRC Leroy Lita got a hat trick

So the record books say 

Weird thing was we got back down by the harbour after the game and it was like being in another world, bright sunshine and decent spring warmth.

It was strange, almost like the fog was just a blanket over Plainmoor. It is on a hill but so is most of Torquay.

I do like a drop of nice Brandy myself. I might have a glass tonight if City win

As Paul hawksbee would say. That game was a dog with fleas
