I have sat in the Press Box since 1989 & I think that we have only lost on a couple of occasions. ;)

It's when you pile out of the press box a la Oxford away thta is usually a sign of things going well.

Incidentally, does you current match day position count as being in the press box?

Or when Flynny punches the Moss Lane press box glass to celebrate an Alty goal...and proceeds to crack it.

When exactly did that incident occur, Father Flynn?
1991/1992 season?

Yes....the air conditioned section does count as being the Press Box ;)

There must be some kind of mystical connection with Kidderminster - I seem to recall a description of Flynny's "Fred Astaire-like" dance in the main stand at Aggborough when Danny MCGoona equalised there a few years ago!

Wasn't there some hoo-ha about us damaging the away dressing rooms after that match? Or does my memory play tricks?  ???

Not sure. I know Bishop Auckland damaged the away dressing rooms at Moss Lane that season but that was a separate occasion altogether.

I'd have given you good odds on it being that season! What were you celebrating Flynny, one of the players momentarily caring whether we won a game or not?

That game will forever be sketched in my memory, horrible horrible day. police horses in the away end, pissheads smacking them , an ugly BA player called Peverill (?) who was just on a mission to kill Shepherd. Didn't they wait on the coach until he left ground and then tried to chin him ?

Yes, however one of our players, a scouse lad called Ian Horrigan was also a pretty handy middleweight boxer and absolutely leathered half of them while the other half cowered on the coach!!  :D ;D
