No NYD football

[Freddie Goodwin.]

I remember the NYD trip to Swindon and how we were 4-0 down before the ref abandoned it due to a waterlogged pitch. Oh how that changed our mood!

Ipswich a few years ago was a cracking day out. That team really was special with Kuszczak, Bridge (what a goal from him), Bridcutt, Barnes, Orlandi and more. How I would love some of them back!

Was that the 96/97 season? When Phil Andrews netted the equaliser only for Garry Nelson to break Albion hearts minutes from full time. It was ****ing freezing that day too.

Phil Andrews

I shall never complain about [insert current Albion striker] again.

Remember going to a West Brom on NYD sick a couple of times On the way and we lost too 1-0 I think

I went to that one. I'd been out the night before with a certain P Canning. He turned up for our minibus still wearing his paper hat that we'd been given in the pub we saw New Year in. Paddy the driver greeted him in his thickest Irish accent "there's nothing worse in the morning than a f***ing taxman in a crown"

That got the loudest laugh we're going to hear in the office today !!

It's just reminded me of another NYD away trip to the midlands in the same era. For some unknown reason we were playing West Brom. I was a smoker at the time and a couple of minutes after midnight me and [MENTION=60]Seagulls over Lewes[/MENTION] threw our lighters down a drain to prove we were giving up.

After about an hour's sleep on someone's floor we headed to the station. By Euston we had met some Spurs lads and ponced a ciggy each off them

Having said we were going to take it easy we found a little pub open near Smethwick Rolfe St, just us and an elderly Sikh. I was later told we'd done 8 pints before the game but all I can remember is one bloke sat at the top of the terraces copiously chundering and being given a wide berth by everyone, stewards and OB included. They probably thought he was still hungover rather than pissed again.

I can remember a nice short trip to Charlton on NYD before their ground was re developed, we scored after about 30 seconds and were battered for 89½ minutes and won one nil.

You're not wrong about the battering either! Most one-sided game I think I've ever seen. Absolutely mugged them!
