Owling Wolfe Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I did get home, only after sliding into a stationary vehicle, had to knock the owner up to give him my details. Absolutely gutted but at least we won. Oh and the young lads played well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I had sixteen pints, walked back across the Pennines in my shorts, stopped halfway to build a snowman and then drop-kicked its head off. Love the snow. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its three years since we had snow down here and when you get a few flakes it turns into a disaster. The biggest difference North to South is the complete inability to cope with a tiny bit of snow. Everybody drives at 10 mph and it's bloody gridlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 TIme to reminisce.... who remembers Owls 5-1 Swansea in a blizzard? (Or was it 6-1?) I recall holding my freezing cold hands upto my face and watching through the gap between my fingers cos the snow blowing into my face was so flippin freezing. Great memory that.

Just read your post mate Brilliant .. closed my eyes and imagined that walk . We were made to do similar in the 70's summetime from Wisewood School on a sponsored walk around and up Bradfield past the convent and the dam 10 miles !! So you must have done at least 6 in a snow drift maybe more ? Bloody good walking that pal ..Wednesdays ground looked great lit up from up there when they had the old floodlights as I recall ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ash76 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I just got back, abandoned car in Fulwood and made sure mum and dad made it up Crimicar Lane in foot then had their sofa for night. Crazy conditions in Lodge Moor, ploughs have done a great job on all the main routes though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 6-1 in Wilko's promotion season. Went in the North for that one. Poor sods on the Kop must have just about froze to death. Lowest home crowd of the season but record Bovril sales! Great performance by the lads though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there, in the relative comfort of the North Stand. It was 6-1 btw I've never seen the Kop so sparse (I wasn't around in the mid 70s!), usually it looked fairly full even when it wasn't because people spread all over it, but that day it looked bizarre with just the few hardy souls huddled together in the centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musn't Grumble Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Folks who stayed for the second half were cheered/amazed with the sight of Jones handing the Captain's armband to Nuhiu when Jos took him off. And Big Dave was as proud as Punch as he left the field after the match, thumping the badge on his shirt before disappearing down the tunnel after full time.
