happy bunny Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 seem to remember one year at the stain we were all over the kop, not a pig in sight but strangely they chose to turn up in the streets around the ground post match bricks flying, dogs biting, all kicking off, all the way back to pond st very strange tactics by their finest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Wylde Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 They need us but we definately don't need them. Wer'nt it big Jack that said that about rekindling some sort of annual match. He said, when they suggested it, 'They might need the prestige of playing us, but we don't need the prestige of playing them'. Good old Jack.

Also the Shipp cup gave us ample occasions to show them up on their own turf. Obviously don,t condone that sort of thing nowadays etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanzaroteowl Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 A couple of games pre season in the late 70s. God knows who Shipp was! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dronfield Blue Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I remember Jack Charlton dumped it in the early 80's. He said there was no Kudos in beating Sheffield United. I think they were in division 4 when it was scrapped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pompeyowl Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) I remember Jack Charlton dumped it in the early 80's. He said there was no Kudos in beating Sheffield United. I think they were in division 4 when it was scrapped. Almost the same scenario now. What would be the point of rekindling a competition with our tin pot neighbours when we're as MASSIVE as we are?!

Pompeyowl Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Two terrible kits, not just theirs! In comparison to our usual kits, I agree, that one wasn't our best..... But rumble me their's was horrendous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunsbyowl Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Good find. This was my first derby game back when I was kid. I remember the sty having 3 sides then. Are you sure about that - it's had four sides since 1975! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sham67 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Are you sure about that - it's had four sides since 1975! You must have forgotten about the golden era in the 90's when the old John St stand was demolished and not replaced for a good few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorian gray Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Just looked it up on Wikipedia. Why the hell were the attendances so low? No game drew over 14,000. it was shyte... it aspired to be tinpot... it was proper mickey mouse... as jack charlton said "you need to play us, we don't need to play you"... we'd send out a second or third rate side, and they'd make it their world cup final... best let them keep it, or play stocksbridge or radio hallam for it... it was thought up when both sides were struggling to win anything at all, THOSE DAYS ARE LONG GONE, WELL AT LEAST FOR ONE OF THE CLUBS...

As it says at the top on wikipedia. The cup started out in 1990 & doubled as lawrie madden testimonial. We won 3-0 at hillsborough. We had just swopped places in the old first division. The attendance that day was 19K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
