Re: ARTICLE: Desperate defeat against Darlington
I nipped to the shop with us two nil up after listening to Radio Lancs all game.
I was more than shocked when I got back in and we had lost 3-2.

Incredible night (if that’s the right word!)…………after the match, took ages driving back down the A59 in thick freezing fog just to round off a thoroughly miserable evening!

Re: ARTICLE: Desperate defeat against Darlington
This one of those ‘where were you’ moments. I was at my friends house half-following it on Sky Sports News while we dossed about. By full time, I couldn’t understand what had happened - much to the hilarity of my mates.

Re: ARTICLE: Desperate defeat against Darlington
Sat at home feeling sorry for myself I could almost sense it coming as I listened to Radio Lancs. We seemed to be under so much pressure but from 2-0 on 81 mins to losing 2-3 is just ridiculous.Jimmymaccer wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2023 10:17 amIncredible night (if that’s the right word!)…………after the match, took ages driving back down the A59 in thick freezing fog just to round off a thoroughly miserable evening!

Re: ARTICLE: Desperate defeat against Darlington
Was the first match postponed and Darlington’s ground waterlogged? Was that why it was played at the Riverside?
I remember when we went 2-0 up, I quipped to my friends that the match was going to abandoned because of the fog because we were winning.
I wish had been.

The game was bad enough but the journey home was a nightmare, I was stone cold sober and driving.
I was trying to think, why did we play in Middlesbrough - was Feethams flooded or something?

They had major problems with the pitch. I think they might have played the next round at Middlesbrough too.dougcollins wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2023 4:38 pmThe game was bad enough but the journey home was a nightmare, I was stone cold sober and driving.

Re: ARTICLE: Desperate defeat against Darlington
Was the original tie postponed though? For some reason, I think I remember knowing we had Man City in the next round. I'm sure it wasn't a replay. I remember it being on a Tuesday or Wednesday night though.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2023 5:21 pmThey had major problems with the pitch.

I think it was around that time that Darlo tried to introduce tens of thousands of worms to help drain the pitch.
They all drowned.

Moved to Middlesbrough because of state of Darlington pitch
Put back three days to allow Cleveland Police to police the game

Thanks for reminding me, it was an abysmal performance to go with the weather
Re: ARTICLE: Desperate defeat against Darlington
Thoroughly depressing night.
Overriding memories of trudging through a waste ground to get to the stadium, and the Darlington tannoy announcer shouting ‘COME ON DARLO, MAKE SOME NOISE!!’ non-stop until everyone’s ears were bleeding.

we were in a convoy seemingly following the car in front who was following the car in front etc - for at least 2 minutes all of us were on the wrong side of the road, very scary stuff.Jimmymaccer wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2023 10:17 amIncredible night (if that’s the right word!)…………after the match, took ages driving back down the A59 in thick freezing fog just to round off a thoroughly miserable evening!
