I came across this whilst browsing for something else, I wouldn't have seen it at the time myself as I would have been travelling back from Fellows Park.

A good memory blast.

 

[S6Ian]

Wow, that has bought back some memories...boy do I feel old..

 

[Long suffering Imp]

Ten of those clubs in div 4 no longer in the league and could be absolutely years before some of them get back if at all.. I will never take our presence in the football league for granted and am eternally grateful to Clive, the board and the Cowleys for doing what they did.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

The great Len Martin giving an object lesson on how to read out football results.

Always used to like how he would give the full names of the teams irrespective of what was shown on the screen - especially noticeable with the Scottish ones such Airdrieonians instead of just Airdrie.

1 in division 1 not in the league!
I doubt the fish will ever be in the same division as Chelsea again.

 

[The Electric Banana]

"Lincoln's lead at the top of division 3 cut to four points". There would be not one of on here that wouldn't take the same position at the mid point of the forthcoming season.

If memory serves the Imps lead for most of the game against Walsall and it was a disappointing draw.

Boy, did it all go wrong after that.

 

[cheshireimp]

those were the great days of football . days that never will return

 

[Norfolk Imp]

Walsall were bottom at this point but went on to finish mid table, and reach the League Cup semi-final the following year.

If only we could jump in a De-Loreon with Clive and go back in time to replace Blades before the collapse started

 

[Davidimp]

The rot and our terminal decline began the following day when we lost at home to Huddersfield in front of 12/13,000.

 

[Chimpimp]

If it's the game I am thinking of, I reckon Cockerill scored from a free kick just outside the box... but it was a while ago.

Yeah he scored to give us the lead I think?

You are indeed correct.

 

[Davidimp]

The attendance for the Huddersfield game, 11832.
Best league crowd of the season only bettered by the West Ham game which was 13899.
