I missed that after being sent to Stechford nick for showing my arse to Blose fans on the back of the Pathfinders...

Sorry wrong year, think that was 1994 when Venus and Thomas put us 2-0 up and we drew 2-2.

1993

14 mins on here. It's such a bad challenge by Bully

Just a booking

Game had gone soft at that point...the goal should have counted....

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

"Got the ball ref"

Think we were on the edge of 80s football being phased out then. Fairly sure Walsh got sent off in the umpteenth battle vs Bully very early on in that season, might even have been the first game with the 1992 North Bank.

The 1993 game that Hooligan Jase missed:

Like fuck did Veno mean his goal

This was the glorious season when Barry Fry signed a billion players and made 2022/23 Forest look restrained in the market, then they went down anyway (although it meant Albion fluked survival, the spawny bastards. Greatly aided by us somehow losing to them twice)

A couple of games later in that season review video there's a scuffle between Julian Dicks and Bully (and Birch), Dicks gets sent off.

Excellent stuff.

Didn't Martin Kuhl nail Bully later in that season? Horrible challenge IIRC

That was 93/94, genuinely awful challenge. It's near the end of this video:

Last game I think before the South Bank re-opened.

Been at least two days since Sheffield Wednesday did something mental. So here they go again:

10-Year Season Ticket to relaunch

The Owls are delighted to relaunch an additional strand to the 10-Year Season Ticket which offers supporters a free Season Ticket while ever we are outside the Premier League.

www.swfc.co.uk

How does that even begin to work?!

 

[Kenny]

So pay £5500...Wednesday get promoted in 15 years....then the 10 year begins. You have a 25 year season ticket

Great if you can afford to pay now, especially as it becomes a 12 ST if they get promoted next season.
Great for a quick influx of cash
Shit for cashflow going forward.

If they sell up, new owners will want to find a way to unpick the madness

Luton vs Burnley on the opening weekend postponed. Eh? Just switch venues (happened before more than once), don't refuse to play it altogether, why the fuck have the Premier League said yes to that?

Apols: what is the reason?

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Kenilworth Road won't be ready (fine, I get that), but you don't get to just cancel everything. Swap it to Turf Moor and play the original away game at your place, easy.

 

[jd1981]

Blackburn at home on the same day but even then could easily move it to the Friday or Sunday, if policing is an issue

 

[Carrotdude]

Would have meant 4 home games in a row to start the season for Burnley, possibly a factor

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Move it to MK or Watford on the Sunday then.

You can't just cancel games.

 

[BillyDee]

Play it at Wembley like Spurs did...

 

[jd1981]

Yeah seems very amateur hour stuff from Luton, can’t guarantee the PL or Burnley stadium would be ready in time.
I’d imagine there was probably an angry response from the PL hearing this.

 

[prawnking]

Why didn't they just request to play away for their first game once promotion was confirmed, as a precaution?
