First game back in Division One and we won 2-0 with Doug Collins scoring a cracker. Also recall we played in a very unusual away kit, not sure we wore that one very often.

The Cup game in early 93 was my only visit.
2-2, think Inchy got sent off.
Big disappointment.

It is. Fairly big, atmospheric, modernised a bit but still an 'old school' feel to it and a city centre location. Last visit for the Notts' was that great 3-2 win in 2008.JimMcDonald wrote:One of the best grounds for me. Love going even though we never win there !
This and Spurs away will be the first fixtures we look for when they come out.

Uwe Noble took over the No.2 shirt and what a fabulous side that became as we finished 6th first time back in the top flight.
Stevenson, Noble, Newton, Dobson, Waldron, Thomson, Nulty, Casper, Fletcher, Collins & James.
One of the best teams ever to wear the Claret & Blue shirt.

Am I assuming you mean the opening day of the season in August 1973? The last ever cricket match at Bramall Lane had been played that month between Lancashire and Yorkshire.joey13 wrote:I was there in 74 , remember there only being 3 sides
For those with interest, it was a draw:
Yorkshire 99 & 114/2
Lancashire 111/8 dec

I was there in the early 1960’s when we won 1-0 with a goal from Alex Elder. This was an FA cup game and we went to reach the final.
Re: Bramall Lane
On day 1 of the Roses match, in admittedly helpful conditions, Peter Lee and Tony Nicholson were both unplayable. As were the Clarets a couple of weeks later.

Sheffield United scored on 15, 17 and 19.
It was Leighton James's debut on his first return to Burnley.

Re: Bramall Lane
My first visit there was to our youth cup quarter final game in 1968.
Still remember my surprise on getting into the ground not having known there was a cricket pitch next to the footy one without any physical separation. Strange set up. Anyone remember how they got the ball back quickish when it had been hoofed miles out of play?
