Always nice to see us giving them a good hiding.

Enjoy.

We could/should have got to double figures in the Simod Cup if we'd gone for it but we seemed to take it easy on them second half. 8K for a derby game, yoof of today would never believe it. Then again there was less than 20K for the League Cup game.

Anyone remember? I went to the first leg of the league cup match aswell 0-2. The black Andy gray scoring a screamer. Anyone got any clips of that match??

The fire in the away end was at the 5-0 in the League Cup. They were burning their scarves.

They probably don't remember due to the facts that we didn't have commemorative mirrors made to put up in pubs and homes and the fact there weren't many of them around at that time. Average gates that season of around 6,000 and eight games where they got less than 5,000! Still, at least the burning of the scarves worked. They got Wheldon out a few months later.

And got the Kumars instead.
