Robbored Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) The Derby keeper got sent off and Paul Simpson scored a hat trick against us that day. Wayne Allison scored the winner with a perfect header. 3-4 to City at the old Baseball Ground. What a dump that place was…… I remember watching it live.

Not sure "dump" is the word I'd use. it was certainly old, full of atmosphere (at least it was for that game). I liked the Baseball Ground 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Possibly Todger Malone’s greatest commentary as well, including the marvellous “Hello, what’s this?” when the clearly distracted commentator suddenly noticed Paul Simpson about to complete his hat-trick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the Baseball Ground I went there twice and both times I thought it was a dump, very tatty and run down. No surprise that they built a new stadium.

No surprise that they built a new stadium. Bit unfair, given the time. Went there a few times, behind the goal in the seats, and in the stand and on the side in the fenced off bits. It ws just a typical ground. I did think those fenced in bits were odd the first time I went, but no worse than the Gate at the time, though the pitch was horrible in the 70's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 The idea that the Baseball Ground was a dump was probably enhanced because the area around it was so run down. I recall we parked our car and walked down Columbo Street which gave a good impression of downtown Beirut. Compared to some of its surroundings I didn't think the ground, was that bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went in the old first Division. As a green 16 year old we wondered what we had stepped into, walking down one road that had wooden doors on hinges to cover their windows.

Wealwayseatcheese Posted April 23, 2022 Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) Remember watching it at my parents as I was still at home then. Amazing game. Went there for a 4-1 defeat , sat in seats behind goal, couple of years before this game . Proper ground the Baseball ground. Could be very lively outside aswell.
