I still bore people to death (and you are all now included) in the fact that one famous night at Springy against Bristol Rovers my job after the match was to physically stop Ian Holloway getting into Kevin Lynch’s room by standing in his way.
An interesting evening. :D
We should take a good 2000 there.2000 for a friendly on a Wednesday night in Oldham??
:shock:
If it’s 200 they’ll be lucky.
Half time scoreboard, with letters for each match corresponding to a fixture list printed in the programme.
Tried to google a picture but couldn’t find one. I remember OT and Burnden having one. Shamefully,I can’t remember whether springy did or not.
Do you know I tried to Google exactly that the other night – without success :(

One goalkeeper in a green shirt, one in a yellow shirt
Yellow jerseys for keepers were only used in internationals.
For Football League only green, blue, red or white were allowed.
Most keepers wore green, and usually both keepers wore that. There was no need perceived to have different jerseys – none of this “going up for a corner” nonsense.
One other colour related thing though was occasionally for the rare TV game teams one team having to change because they would clash on black and white TV – eg 1963 Cup Final Leicester wore white because their blue and Man U’s red would be indistinguishable on black and white TV.
Goin swansea for my mates 30th birthday party tomorrow should i wear my latics top ?Certainly not. They may not recognise it.
Get a special T-shirt made which says “Roberto Martinez is God”.
I remember reading somewhere when he was manager there that they adored him and thought he was brilliant. I can’t imagine anything could have happened that would change that view.
only 5 subs unless its pompey at home:D
I’m old enough to remember when there were no subs at all.
And then when they were introduced (one sub) they could only be used as a replacement for an injured player. So players were told to pretend to be injured so a substitution could be made.
A Wigan Athletic matchday programme that is worth reading.Old-fashioned team line-ups and positions: Outside right, left half, inside left….
Ha ha Garswood blast from the past there mon
Try explaining to kids today the sheer hilarity, none-PC of course, of the ball rattling into one and setting them up rocking wildly :D
A trainer (not coach, physio, fitness co-ordinator or whatever) running out onto the pitch with a bucket of water and “the magic sponge”
HAD ONE FOR YEARS MATE SPRINGFIELD PARK DAYSDid we have season tickets at Springfield Park?
I used to collect the cash from the turnstiles, and don’t remember ever collecting season tickets :shock:
Maybe I’m just getting senile.
