I think Ken Beamish had a spell in management

Totally agree with all above. We played really well and should be proud of the team. No wonder GP sounded annoyed.

Was walking to youth club with my mates. One had a transistor radio and Silence is Golden by the Tremeloes came on. That always sticks in my memory. In the kitchen of my student house with housemates, My Sweet Lord came on the radio. That was another jaw-dropping moment for us all. First heard...

Sammy Morgan

To be fair to Peter Taylor, he built the team that won promotion. It just needed Alan Mullery to come along and manage it.

A not very interesting stat which I've always remembered from that match is that our last 12 matches - after Pat Saward changed the team after a couple of defeats, bringing in Ian Goodwin and Ken Beamish - followed a repetitive pattern of two wins and a draw - WWDWWDWWDWWD - so it was obvious...

I reckon I can see me in that photo

OK Fair comment. I hadn't thought about transport. Hope everyone that wants to can get there and watch the game

Whoseever decision, it is great to see

I haven't read through the whole thread, but what are people moaning about? You support your team or you don't.

This has been quite an illuminating thread

Dunno where you are. I'm in Sunderland and it's lovely and sunny. Got my tickets and looking forward to the game.

I was there when he suffered a bad injury (hip or pelvis?) at Shrewsbury. Our best goalie in my opinion. Happy birthday PG

Can't condone it. Something for the new coaches to put their foot down on.

Up till now I was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt - anyone can fail with the bat sometimes. But today was just irresponsible, after his young teammates had battled so hard with great discipline. No wonder Australia have dropped him.

Commiserations Lamie. My dad (Albion fan) and uncle (Bristol Rovers fan) took me to watch their teams play each other in 1958. We stood on the east terrace and I was helped to sit on a barrier till my bum hurt too much. It was a 1-1 draw and both teams missed a penalty.

Ibrahim looks a real prospect, and Brown is so often our best batsman. It's been a riveting watch on YouTube. I've got tickets for Saturday which looks a better buy than it did just after lunch. Maybe I'll see Head make some runs, it has to happen one day.

I'd like to add my appreciation to HR for a great idea and putting the work in every week. 3-4-2-1 Sanchez White Dunk Webster Gross Bissouma Moder Burn Lallana Mac Allister Trossard

I lived at Basingstoke in my teens and regularly operated the scoreboard at May's Bounty for Basingstoke & North Hants CC. I played my first few games of men's cricket for their 3rd XI. But I was born in Sussex and have always supported Sussex. Attended the first Gillette Cup final in 1963 and...
