Help me out please fellas. I’m trying to pin down the date of that famoud Bournemouth away game whenw e took over the town. I’m sure it was the last game of tne season and was 0-0 but the CL archives indicate it was 1993 which was too early.
We played them at the end of the season in 2000 too but agin, according to the CL archives, that ended 2-2.
I’m not saying I don’t trust the archives but I just don’t trust the archives. ;)
Also, Doncaster away, 1988, 4-3. Bouncing down with rain and I’m sure there were two lada carted off with broken legs. Am I right and can anyone remember if they were both our players nd if so, who?
The 1993 game was the last game of our relegation season where some Latics fans carried a coffin round the away end
The 2-2 was Benson’s season where we’d lost the week before to Wrexham at home & it looked like we were out of the running & then (I think) went 2-0 down in the Bournemouth game only to pull it back late on (didn’t Neil Roberts score the equaliser?)
If there are other incidents you’d need confirming I’m not your man coz in 1993 I was just finishing my a-levels & surviving off my wages as a steward at Latics & spends from mummy & daddy so I couldn’t afford a weekend in Bournemouth
Me & a mate had tickets for the 2000 game but after the Wrexham game we went to the ticket office & got our money back :blush: :blush:
I would’ve imagined that the 2000 game was the one with the bigger Latics following
I remember the 2000 one clearly. I went on the trip organised by the Supporter’s Club. Such was the demand they had 3 hotels fully booked for that trip, exlusively to the supporter’s club. The hotel I stayed in put a disco on. It was about 4 o’clock when I got to bed.
When I pitched up for breakfast about, I would guess half nine, there were still half a dozen at the bar in the same seats they’d been in all night.

Thanking ye
Total stab in the dark, but didnt Andy Ainscow break his leg round that time?
I did know that, Jay. As I said, I had it in my head that the game finished scoreless but I have since been assured that the game I am referring to finished 2-2 and therefore must have been the one in 2000.

Dont know, he scored in that game, I know that – Jay’s archives told me that. I’m pretty sure there were two broken legs in that game or they just might have been two bad injuries.
