Roberts and Ellington partnership. I remember vividly how vulnerable playing two up top made our midfield and how dull the football was Al.
I bet Nuneaton detested that football too.Roberts and Ellington partnership. I remember vividly how vulnerable playing two up top made our midfield and how dull the football was Al.
I bet Nuneaton detested that football too.Donny, as much as your post made me chuckle – this isn’t the thread for the 2 up top argument.
Playing chelsea in the league cup. Our 4 – 2 win in the early 80’s. Remember mark wignall lobbing the keeper. My dad shouted “you idiot, you idiyesssssssssssss”
Can’t remember what the event was, but there was a penalty competition where fans were invited to take 3 penalties against roy tunks. It was 1987 i think.
Jason roberts actually handing me his “kick racism out of football’ t-shirt in the game before newcastle (i think).
Jason Robert’s first goal for the Latics; with me & HORC still outside Deepshit Stadium !Our Mark was with us that day and he went to get the half time beers in, and also missed Ellingtons goal on the stroke of half time.
Don’t think anyone’s mentioned the legendary Supporters Club, Chris Coffey and Ernie Claxton on the little table as you went in, all the SC “do’s”, players being in the Lounge after games and happily chatting to fans about the days events and general footy chat….not to mention the pics and club pennants all round the place.
Of course, what did we see just outside the club…the Junior Latics caravan.
Remember going to Hartlepool (early 90’s), open away end 250 yards from the see, freezing cold night.
Bobby Campbell trying to conceal a fag from Ray Mathias at the bottom of the players tunnel before the Norwich game, despite the smoke rising from behind him and the comments of Steve Bruce, Kevin Drinkell etc who quite clearly didn’t fancy the pitch in that cup tie in 87.
Going round a roundabout in Macc, trying to work out which was the right way to Moss Rose (year we played Chester there) and realising there were about 8 cars behind me all thinking I knew the way to the ground.
As for that Bury Boxing Day game, wasn’t there a point where Neill Rimmer chipped the keeper from about 25/30 yards, ball flies over said keeper, hits a huge puddle and the keeper just turns round and picks ball up and game carries on….cue lots of stunned Latics fans who were celebrating what looked a certain goal

Chelsea got really desperate and ended up shoving Mickey Droy upfront.
Getting in the car calling in Coppull for Grandad picking up the other Coppull Tics. Car full of fag smoke. Match. Journey back and the mass argument. Couldn’t get a word in edgeways. Home made meat, meat and prater or butter pie or sometimes egg and chips made by Nana Coppull. Nanna getting shouted at for warming her arse ont open fire. Freezing cold front room which as kids we got chased out of when Nana had a Corset fitting (she was an agent) Parafin heater in the bathroom. Coal tar soap. Bye byes and see you on Monday night for the Lancaster City game.
Larry Lloyd coming up to us in Chorley clubhouse telling us “I’ve got a nice surprise for you next week lads” Eamon O,keefe and Archie Gemmill duly arrived.
My dad picking me up from wolverhampton during my uni days. It was either xmas or easter holidays. Driving back down the M6, we were followed by macclesfield fans (who had probably spotted the latics stuff on my dads back window) & they followed us in the hope we would take them to springfield park. But we were going home to unpack my stuff & they followed us back to our house in winstanley.
That’s a belter Runcorn. A similar thing happened first time we went to Skem. Dad lost in roundabouts and estates being followed by half a dozen other tics cars following him thinking he knew where he was going.
I remember a lot of 0-0 draws worse than that today. Usually against Fulham at home.Agreed. That was one of the worst I seen in a long time though.
Coldest wettest trip ever; to Stoke in Horc’s red escort with no heater working.
Lost to a dodgy penalty.
A day to forget.Was that the same match were I checked out the plumbing in the womans bogs?
I thought it was strange there were no urinals, but put it down to being a new ground with perhaps different ideas, never once thought it was the womens.
I certainley knew it was the womens when I came out though and you lot were pissing yourselves.Coldest wettest trip ever; to Stoke in Horc’s red escort with no heater working.

Pity we didn’t have cameras on our phones in them days !
