Utah Owl Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Surprised no one has come up with record attendance for a Div 3 (league one) game. 49,309 for the BDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly sure they played together as two left footed centre halves. Maybe Wallace played at some point with them too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

America is a continent, not a country. so George Robledo is either South American or Chilean. Harkes is Either North American or American, so therefore the first American. simples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bookie, a loose mate of mine called over and asked if I wanted a bit of it. "odds have to be higher dude," I called to him. "At that score I'll give you 500/1" He said, laughing histits off. I'll take a tenner on it, ses I. And a room full of witnesses. 15 minutes later I was walking out with cheque for 3K, two grand in my pocket and a smile on my face, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we pulled it back to 3-3 but they went ahead again before Steve Gritt scored that own goal and Lyons got the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember us beating Notts 5-1 away in the 73/74 season. Can't think of any game where we've come back from 4-0 down in my 50 odd years of watching.
