Intending to do Blackburn (cheers for deets, Zag - that hotel looks the best option), Liverpool, Man City and Wigan this season, for sure. Maybe the Geordies too, and possibly West Brom.

 

Bolton, like Blackburn, is on a weeknight, so I'll have to give that a miss.

Don't remember that. When was that??

[Electric ~soul~]

FA Prem 01-May-99 44,007 away defeat 2 - 3 Carragher o.g., Iversen

 

This must be the one!

[EFC_Callum]

Reading (friendly) mid july 2001

Saints (dell and st.marys bout 10 times)

[Electric ~soul~]

This was my Watford one...

 

Division 1 11-May-85 23,167 home defeat 1 - 5 Hoddle (pen)

 

What a shocker! Especially as we finished third that season, and up until mid-April we were still right in the Championship race!

[Electric ~soul~]

Oops - that one was at home. I was there though.

[Electric ~soul~]

A-ha! THIS was the away game - how could I forget??...

 

Division 1 24-Sep-83 21,056 away win 3 - 2 Hughton, Hoddle, Archibald

 

You will never see a goal taken as well as Hoddle's goal in this game. I've got the video at home. Gertcha has seen it. Just sublime.

[EFC_Callum]

is that where he chipped the goalie...

[Electric ~soul~]

Yeah. And the turn just before the chip too. Not many players could do that.

 

Certainly not that overrated Frenchman at Arsenal.

[EFC_Callum]

definitely not

[YELLOW]

Wigan is a nice ground although normally half full.

[Electric ~soul~]

Was this when they were playing Canvey?

 

If so, then of course it was bloody half empty!!

[EFC_Callum]

sorry to spoil your joke like but it always is!

[YELLOW]

Exactly Callum. Even in the last home game last season there was only about 11,000 there to watch them win promotion.

 

There was only 3,000 when they played us. 500 or so were from Canvey.

[EFC_Callum]

fair enough.

 

Ive seen onm sky sports news, neutrals buying season tickets just so they can watch prem football.

[Zagreus]

Never been to Wigan, Everton, Boro, Villa or West Brom. 15 out of 20 is not too bad!

 

Best Premiership ground I've been to must be Newcastle (good night out too!). Worst Premiership ground .... errr .... probably Crystal Palace last year, but they are not in the prem anymore so .... Portsmouth. I'm just glad it was sunny when we went!

That's what Gertcha was thinking of doing a couple of years back. We had a chat about it at Braintree!

Zag - impressive! Did you used to travel the country to watch Blackburn, then??

[gertcha EFM]

I'll still do it when I stop playing Saturday football.
