I'd completely forgotten it was a Thursday night. Why was that?

It must have been due to a postponement  as we had quite a good run in the Trophy that year as well. We had played at Frickley on the Tuesday night so it couldn't be played on any other day I suppose.

The match was originally postponed on the first Saturday in March.We had a lot of problems with the pitch that season after it was virtually destroyed by:-

a) A game against Chorley that I think we won 4-0.
b) A Mickey Mouse Altrincham Senior Cup game or something that the Reserves/Youth Team played in which the referee decided to play despite the ridiculously wet conditions

Neither of these games should have been played.

"After a 2-1 defeat at Gateshead (2nd February 1994)....Rowlands made a daring bid for the Geordies' leading scorer Paul Dobson, rumoured to be unhappy at the International Stadium. Nothing ever came of the move but such a proven goalscorer might yet have proved Robins' - and the manager's - salvation."

Whats a daring bid ?

was he parachuting or riding a unicycle on a tight rope blindfolded or something?
