please do dig out the pictures as they may stop my head exploding. Looking from the covered end the main stand is on your left, perhaps its been built since and the celebrations were conducted in the tiny little stand on the other side....

do you know that was one of the reasons I said I found it difficult to join the two experiences up, in my mind we entered the pitch from the covered end and the stand where the celebration was taking place was to your right, but having been there since I know that isn't so.
I was really disappointed we couldnt stand in that covered end just for nostalgias sake.

As usual I'm completely useless at remembering this stuff, but at least I can remember being there this time.
I only went back there for the first time a couple of years ago and its hard to reconcile the 2 experiences - did we swap ends at H/T? because I seem to think we were in the covered end second half?
what I do remember is I never having a moments doubt, which is strange because I'm a natural pessimist at football games. I suppose it came from a season of watching us win all the time - hard to believe now I suppose. The game was even and tight but somehow you knew we would score in the end and when we did there was no way that team was letting go.
At the end, we (my mates and me) sauntered onto the pitch after the main invasion and made our way to the throng in front of the stand performing our 'victory forward rolls' which we did after momentous victories (if anyone remembered.)
The only other thing I remember was that someone I knew from my schooldays caught one of the shirts and being a bit miffed about it as said lad didnt go to many games whereas I went home and away. The things that bother you at 18 eh?
This whole series has been great and also really interesting for me because I honestly have no recollection of virtuall any of it despite being there at nearly all the games.

« on: February 05, 2011, 08:33:30 PM »Far too many to recant and most too embarassing from the drinking years.
Liverpool ............the whole coach chanting souness at a poor unfortunate old man with two walking sticks.
Mossy and the fire extinguisher incident at Rhyl
That Punch after kettering away in the league cup final (you had to be there)
The copper at birmingham allowing us to carry on drinking champers on the coach 'its all roit lads carry on oim a villa fan'
Weymouth weekends
A bottle of gin before charnock richard on the way to barrow dressed in a dinner suit still out from new years eve
god they were good times

my thoughts entirely
i withdraw that comment, the Man Utd tie means that they wont run out of money any time soon and so the sooner they leave the better

of course he did, nobody sacked him but the media coverage and the public outcry are the same

they just had andy anson from the bid team on R5 who said two startling things
1. only 3 voting members asked to see the technical reports. as he said if those things arent important just say and we wont bother doing them
2. there are still 4 members claiming to be the one who voted for england

"Indeed. I was very impressed with Altrincham. From their stewards on the gate at the bar, their fans in there having civil conversations with our fans, the chippy across the road (best fish n chis since Rochdale). I found everone I met to be friendly and welcoming.
OK, the ground isn't up to much, but certainly not the worst I've been to, quaint if you will. I thought the playing surface looked excellent.
One of the more enjoyable days out I've had in recent years, spoiled a little by the result, but hey I'm kind of getting used to that!"
thats what we want to hear

For some bizarre reason I decided a victory celebration was a bit naff so didn't bother going! Young people eh! You think it will come round every year or two
