Things you don't see in football anymore
Things you don't see in football anymore
One of the things I remember well from away games in the early 90's, was usually within the first half hour, a section of fans being escorted
around the ground to the away end. Two examples here, away at PNE and the other Bradford City. You just couldn't imaging it nowadays.

Arggh! The plastic Deepdale pitch! Remember a report of John Beck's Cambridge running out to play in leggings, home crowd ripped in but they won!

Re: Things you don't see in football anymore
Bradford away in the Sherpa Van or whatever it was called that year (when Pearce had the game of his life and think Futcher won it with a Pen) I think they moved the Burnley fans from the away end behind one set of nets into the home end behind the other nets because the away end was so packed. Think we already had the little Midland road stand as it was then and more fans than them in their main stand

No idea why they were moved but it caught my eye. In my mind we battered them that night but couldn't score then Pearce saved a late penalty.Devils_Advocate wrote:Bradford away in the Sherpa Van or whatever it was called that year (when Pearce had the game of his life and think Futcher won it with a Pen) I think they moved the Burnley fans from the away end behind one set of nets into the home end behind the other nets because the away end was so packed.

Re: Things you don't see in football anymore
My memory of that game is they battered and Pearce saved everything they threw at him! Think it was shortly after he’d been sent off for a punch up against Stockport!Beehole67 wrote:No idea why they were moved but it caught my eye.

Re: Things you don't see in football anymore
I would have been in the one at Deepdale, think we were already 2-0 by that point.
Even the disabled were abusing us as we were escorted to the far end. It was an awful night. They put us in a small pen with PNE to our left, right and behind who took great pleasure as they banged 6 in. The tipping point was when Pearce took a free kick for offside, short pass to Deakin who wasn't looking, it went out for a PNE throw in.
I would say the other one is the SVT or FRT game when Pearce had a blinder as mentioned above. 1-0 win with rocket Ron getting the winner on a freezing cold night.

Re: Things you don't see in football anymore
Agree on the photos and my memory also is that it was us who got battered and that Pearce was inspired. Rumour was that Bradford signed Pearce about 18 months later based on that performance though that might be an old wives tale.Steve-Harpers-perm wrote:My memory of that game is they battered and Pearce saved everything they threw at him!

The bucket and sponge!
Imagine with all the sports science and medical what nottery we have nowadays, that the footballing panacea was no more than a cold bucket of water and a sponge, applied liberally to the affected area.
Some of the premier leagues prized ponces would have a fit.

One thing that definitely improved things was the back pass rule. I’m sure Liverpool wouldn’t have won half their titles without passing it around the back 4 and back to the keeper.

Teams coming out separately before the game, the away team to boos of disdain the home team a heroes a reception.
And trophies presented to the admiration of the winning teams fans rather than what he have now, dance music on full blast and a dickhead PA announcer screaming utter hoss sh1t down a mic

Re: Things you don't see in football anymore
I was once in the Beehole and there were two sets of away fans in there - Sheffield United and Leeds United. Bizarre atmosphere. We had nothing to play for but there were quite a few three-way punch ups. The police didn't know who to escort out. It was so long ago, I can't remember the date.

Probably thinking of Sheffield United and Hull. We were playing Hull and they needed to beat us by three to go up or Sheff U went up.

Re: Things you don't see in football anymore
The Wigan one was in 99 i think, thousands turned up at the newly opened ground and the stand to the left of the Burnley fans was empty as it didn't have the required safety certificate. The police started to put the excess Clarets in the empty stand but forgetting to put any stewards in there, cue loads of lads legging through the empty stand and straight into the Wigan fans behind the other goalcricketfieldclarets wrote:Remember this at Oldham, Bradford, Wigan and plenty of others back in the day.

FA Cup quarter final against Sheffield Wednesday 1983. Wednesday fans being escorted out of the Bee Hole around the pitch and into the away section of the Longside. There was a shed load of them in there, but as their numbers started to be depleted the idiots spoiling for a fight started circling like hyenas and eventually all hell broke loose. It is like watching a programme on the Serengeti with David Attenborough.Beehole67 wrote:Don't ever remember away fans walking around the Turf like that, only away fans I saw in the Longside were the Darlington ones in 89/90

It was on the Beehole End. A Claret was walking around the walkway, halfway back, and a Sheff Wed fan leant over the barrier and said summat to him. He just smashed him out cold and the guy was well above him, with the height of that first step.
