🤣 On a similar note. One Derby day in the 60's when I was too young to go alone, the 16/17 year old Unitedite John next door offered to take me with his mates (all of similar affiliation). Crowds weren't segregated so he plonked me by the wall at the front of the kop while they went further back. Lost 2-0 to 2 Alan Birchenall goals. John collected me later and escorted me home - piggy backing me quite a bit as I tired. Top lad John Tingle

Wonderful news. You've both had to reside in a really dark place of late. Happily now you're both back in the sunlight.

Yes we were bottoming out under Len Ashurst. I liked Neil O'Donnell out of that team. Len brought him with him from Gillingham for about £4k IIRC. Not released but injury forced retirement prematurely a year or so later. A couple of others of note - Eric ' Billy Whizz' Potts and the quality but injury prone Mick Prendergast - sadly died too young. Some little gems that linger in the memory from what were pretty bleak times.

Happy Golden Jubilee! You'll likely have been there just two years later then when winning a night match against Southend ensured we didn't fall through the trapdoor to the 4th division. We celebrated it like we were champions.

I lean towards being slightly superstitious regarding such things too. Of course its total bollocks but still can't rid the thought lurking at the back of my mind; why tempt the evil football gods?

Not necessary.

OS showing sold out now.

TBF I was being a tad self indulgent. Been better saying you have to laugh at all of the 'never going again while DC remains' merchants and their angst at the masses of fans that continue to buy home tickets in increasing numbers. Part of the problem 🤣

You have to laugh at how the more the yellow paper wavers bluster; the more our attendances increase.

None.

😃 Valid point but games like Swansea and Stoke (and others) would likely have been put to bed after 30 minutes had we such a player given the opportunities we had.

Same as against Stoke. Mind you if we had a finisher like Szmodics we'd not be fretting over relegation.

Currently winning 3-0 away at Colchester. Fernandes with 2 and Seiqueira the scorers. Good to see long term injury absentees Devlan Moses and Sean Fusire making returns on the bench.

So the PL with its multi billions per season in their largesse slip a £33m per season gratuity to force the changes through. It really is wank isn't it?

Some look to bash DC at every turn. Draw/defeat, missed chances, keeper error, racist fans (irony), piss on toilet seat.......... Wins are in spite of him, recruiting Xisco was inept, recruiting DR was luck, recruiting DR's support team is not to be acknowledged. Your experience on the other forum confirms all this.
