Great memories ( financially as well! ). Back then my company had the contract for printing the programmes which i personally did.This just popped up on YouTube:
What I didn't realise was that that was the year the final ended 3-2 to Arsenal after a late comeback from Man Ure:
When we had a real South Bank. I'm on there somewhere!Great memories ( financially as well! ). Back then my company had the contract for printing the programmes which i personally did.
Mega overtime commenced just after Christmas, as we were due to play Watford at home on NYD, & Liverpool the following Sat. Watford were top of the table, & the club expected a crowd of around 15,000 for that game & the programme quantity went up by around 1500 to normal games. For the Liverpool game we printed 28,000.
Then on Dec 30th disaster struck. We had a very heavy snowstorm which ruined NYE for those going out the following evening, & caused the postponement of the Watford game on NYD.
The club decided to keep the heavy layer of snow on the pitch, thinking it would insulate the pitch from freezing, & would remove it the day before the Liverpool game. Whoops, when they did it, they discovered the pitch was still frozen, hence the postponement of the Liverpool game until the following Weds.
As we know, it snowed again that day & made the game somewhat of a farce to our advantage?. Probably on a normal surface they would have beat us no problem?. But the record books show that we held them to a 0-0 draw, in front of a 31,000 crowd who went home happy.
I was in the West Stand, keeping my head dry!.When we had a real South Bank. I'm on there somewhere!
