Craig 6682 Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Just reading NUFC.COM and realised this was 20 years ago today! Remember it as though it was yesterday - Aitken's only goal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Sweet revenge for this one Stevie? Aye Honestly see where that A is in the upper tier that is literally roughly where I was sat that day. Greeeeeat day that. edit the A in ATCH that is. Was stood in the lower tier paddock of Derby fans (angle facing camera) out of shot around the half way line. Travelled without a ticket so just got in anywhere possible. An experience that will live with me forever for lots of reasons. As you've said before, our lot were outstanding that day.

Guest Barrack Road Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Best thread on here for ages. I can't stop singing ooh ahh Franzie Carr in my head. For the OC's on here, the one where Keegan's pleading at the ref, is that Trelford Mills and that the Brighton game where he disallowed two good goals in stoppage time?

For the OC's on here, the one where Keegan's pleading at the ref, is that Trelford Mills and that the Brighton game where he disallowed two good goals in stoppage time? Yes, FA cup replay 1983, shocking referee that day, still makes me angry to this day. Disallowed 2 legit goals, there were 2 clear penalties he didn’t give and he even got in the way of a Varadi shot. All in front of the Gallowgate, which was raging more than Keegan in that pic, no one could believe how he made any of his decisions — bastard.

S-I-S-S-O-K-O 0 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I love these threads. That Derby picture is the best, Peacock scoring from Franzie's cross, how we got sweet revenge that day. That Spurs vid too, everyone I've spoken to that was there that day said it could've been another Hillsborough and just look at the fans behind the goal it really could've been. If the coppers hadn't opened a bit of terracing used for segregation it could well have been. Chock a block that day and so loud my hearing was distorted. Mayhem outside as well, with those 'hooligan vans' patrolling the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 I may be mistaken but this looks like a distant picture of SJP before the East Stand was built. Have seen the aerial shot from the Barrack Road side before, but never from this side of town... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasepud 59 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Yep, its a confusing one that, its clearly taken from the University, the Trent is at the top of the curve of houses nearest the camera with the road to the East stand heading straight up what throws you is the building in the fore at the right of the image, it looks just like the old Metreological office which was behind the Gallowgate and which must be just out of shot on the pic.

Craig 6682 Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 The building to the right in the foreground is part of the University. The photo is taken from the Physics block I think. Mad that looking up that road towards the East Stand you can see the seats of the old West Stand. Big give away is that there's 4 floodlight pylons too - IIRC when I started going to the match only the two at the western side of the ground were there - the two on the eastern side were replaced by floodlights along the length of the roof of the stand.

Yeah, my early match-going memory is the same, just two floodlight pylons. Is the supporters club hut the one that used to be next to the comic shop in Haymarket?

Not too sure mate but going by the attire and the 'Giant Screen Live TV' banner I'm guessing it's in the early Premiership years - 1993/4/5 perhaps??

PaddockLad 17239 Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Where is/was the The Farmers Rest at? if I'm not mistaken its was on Percy Street,where the Haymarket bus station/M & S is.......apparently Chelsea tried to take it sometime in the 80s...tried being the operative word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6682 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Where is/was the The Farmers Rest at? Thomas Keith you philistine!! Before the Haymarket Bus Station was re-developed as part of the M&S expansion in the mid 90s, it was on the north corner of Percy Street and Prudhoe Place. Since the development, Prudhoe Place has actually moved south slightly and I'd guestimate the location was roundabout where this map centres: http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ll=54.976613,-1.615092 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
