FA Cup

Rotherham away 1988 for me. We lost 3-1 but the atmosphere was good. Really loud in that away end that day. Good pub somewhere near the railway station. Got pelted with a few coins when leaving the ground.

Was it Danny Wheatley that scored for us or Mickey Carol? Remember it being a very good goal.

Danny Wheatley, if I remember rightly, SB. MrsPleasant, in the first thrall of love, came with me but was more fascinated by the number of our supporters heading to the pie stall than the game. It's also the last time she's watched us.

Think it was Micky Carroll

As Blackadder once said, nobody likes a clever clogs, but here it is (from a summary of his career):

Again one of those strikes was truly memorable. It came in the FA Cup First Round at Millmoor against Rotherham United who were flying high at the top of Division Four at the time.
On fifty three minutes, as Barrow trailed 1-0, Mickey picked up a pass from Kenny Lowe and beat several defenders on a mazy run into the Millers box before slipping the ball past Kelham O’Hanlon – it as a brilliant goal as was the celebration that followed.

I could be wrong but I think all of Rotherham’s goals were from set pieces. They may have had a penalty?

[MisterPleasant]

Thanks, Jim. It's an age thing, the memory goes...

There may be a face or two a few will remember from 1988

Good days, shocking haircuts.

[Bombadel]

Not a bad draw, spennymore, home would have been better but hay ho. On another note, inspiring stuff from the Worthing Fc owner, hoping they beat FGH.

Return of the Fletch

[Jim]

Just up the road for me. It used to be quite a slope on the pitch there, don't know if it still is.

[Matty]

Few ex Bluebirds and one current in their ranks.

Dan Jones, Daniel Rowe (the midfielder), Olly Dyson.

Kouyate is out on loan there.

Pitch looks decent! Just had a nosey..

Ground reminds me of HS a little bit too.

We can do the scouting for them, Jones has a long throw

Famous last words and all that but it’s a draw you take, winnable game
