We battered them that day, and the result was never really in doubt even if we did leave it incredibly late. ps. I have no idea what made me think of this. Title: Brittania Stadium Post by: Spud on Monday, July 11, 2005, 16:11:22 I was there, i can remember walking out at the end of the game and seeing some Stoke fan nutting a copper, i dont think they were very happy about that defeat.

Title: Brittania Stadium Post by: grayx on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 10:57:38 Can someone confirm if my memory is right on this.
Didn't Sir Stanley Matthews take a penalty as part of the opening ceremony but hit his shot really soft and some steward had to tap it in the net. Mind you Stan was about 108 years old or something so will take that into consideration. Title: Brittania Stadium Post by: STFCDude on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 10:59:12 Yeah, I was there that day! Didn't they also have Tom Jones singing at half time as well?
Title: Brittania Stadium Post by: Kinky Tom on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 11:00:03 Can't remember grayx, I remember Tom Jones making a fool of himself flapping his arms around all over the place to Delilah.
Title: Brittania Stadium Post by: grayx on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 11:01:31 It was some local lookalike Tom Jones that was a big hit at some kareoke place or something.
Title: Brittania Stadium Post by: grayx on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 11:03:08 Forgot to mention he wasn't a soundalike though.
Title: Brittania Stadium Post by: Kinky Tom on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 11:08:33 Ah, that makes more sence. :-))(
Title: Brittania Stadium Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 11:50:45 Yeah Stanley Matthews took a penalty from a couple of metres out, it didn't quite reach the net so I think they let him have another touch to get it in, either that or one of the stewards knocked it in. The Tom Jones bloke was shite.

Sir Stanley Matthews penalty didnt even reach the line :soapy tit wank: Bless him! After the Match at the Victoria Ground in 1990 when we drew 1-1, he said we were the best footballing side he'd seen that season, a man of taste. 8) Title: Brittania Stadium Post by: Spencer_White on Tuesday, July 12, 2005, 19:07:59 Loads of people said that. David Pleat says it in the television broadcast of the PO final.
But unfortunately we were one small club too many in the top flight for the football league.

I know, but it was good to be there, if only for one season. :mrgreen: Title: Brittania Stadium Post by: Spencer_White on Wednesday, July 13, 2005, 16:27:03 The 1990 team never got the chance. :cry:
They would have stayed up. No doubt about it. Title: Brittania Stadium Post by: Spud on Wednesday, July 13, 2005, 16:29:42 Can anyone remember the chants of "Ole ole ole ole Chrissy Hay Hay Hay!" after we beat Stoke?. :wink:

Totally agree with that. Excellent team, and Sky weren't involved then so money wouldn't have come into it as much. :D |
