Good luck getting in any pubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimbeard Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I just know that if by some miracle of the football gods we actually got to our first final in seventy-odd years, the game would be played behind closed doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Rams Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 It's strange how a football supporters mind works...well mine anyways...I give us little or no chance of progressing in the FA cup...yet last season we beat both Man Utd and Norwich city away from home... smashing in 6 goals.So why do I think we've no chance?

Amazing these things are on YouTube nowadays when it seemed so hard to watch us on the telly at the time. Though I suspect I was there. A motley Rams team I would never have thought had played together. Archie Gemmill, Steve Buckley, Steve Powell, Kevin Wilson, Bobby Davison and Andy Garner's debut! The likes of Chris Woods and Micky Shannon for them. Real blood and thunder, challenges flying in, but we looked as if we were trying to play good football. And we played it well.

Nice! They're heading for peno's as it stands... Norwich were given a full allocation of 9,000, so I expect we would have got the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That brings back some memories- the strongest of which is pouring out of the ground, hearing on someone’s radio that Plymouth had just won and thinking that if we drew them we would surely be guaranteed a place in the semi-finals.... Watching those highlights now, immediate thoughts are: - back pass! - no red for Woods? - one sub - fences Amazing how quickly things change - although then again it appears that somehow it was more than a third of a century ago... Oh, and I still have that Patrick shirt somewhere. It no longer fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy isn’t it? I think he got his comeuppance ten (?) years later when that Nicholson 35-yarder went in off the bar and his backside against Wednesday, also in the Cup.
