Thats spooky.
You must be nearing 50 buddy ?
Id have Mansfield No1; still. But cant argue with the rest.
Chester away, play off semi was pretty decent but more tense than anything else.
Southend away 0-0; play off first leg was also damn fine.
Southend away, snod, 1-0 was good too.
Im leaving this now, before I spend hours on it.
Sheff U away last season good
Leeds away 1-0 pretty decent.
-
Southend away, snod, 1-0 was good too.
Snod was in charge, but it was one Dave Penney who scored!
Doncaster: Woods ,Ybarra ,Shaw ,Snodin ,Warren ,Nicol ,Maamria ,Penney ,Duerden (Hume ,79 ) ,Kirkwood ,Wright.
I was only 8 at the time and won a quid off Andy Liney on the bus back. Loads of Rovers fans in the toilets after the game trying to wash the non-drying paint off the fences at the front.
:cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
-
Derby away first game of last season was pretty special - even on one of their forums we got voted the loudest they have had at PP for some time.
-
yeah that was a great, i think the p/off semi against southend home and away was brilliant for me and brittania p/off final, but i hope my best will be tonight it doesnt seem like we are takin many but 1500 voices are better than none plus we havent beaten them twice in one season hope we can tonight even with what could be a somewhat suspect defence

God, I loved that night. Even us being crap and getting beat by a (superior) Rotherham team didnt dampen the atmosphere. I remember getting bricks lobbed at us down that alley that led to the away end at Millmoor too.

Yep that Rochdale game was quality. Albrighton in injury time. We took over 3000 that night, think we outnumbered the home fans!
-
Afew over the years.
other than those mentioned above.
I remember a game at Burnley when Dave Jones scored the winner after about ten mins, only about 200-300 away fans, but never stopped singing, then having to run for my life after the game.
Carlisle away, 3-2 win on the opening day of the season...seem to remember singing jingle bells dressed in some dodgy fancy dress.
Rushden was good, the Durds hatrick one.

Me and my pals were there that night too, remember going f**kin nuts when Jeffrey opened the scoring. Any Scunny away game are always special for atmosphere, the 2-2 draw in 04? was pretty good and the one where Kieran Brady scored his wonder goal was awesome. Burnley away in about 92/93 FA cup game was good.
-
Remeber them well nudga and agree.
-
Was it you or Haggis that smashed their face into the barrier when trying to scramble under it?
At Rotherham that is.
-
Don't remember that, so must have been Haggis. Miss those away days pal.
-
Yeah me too, who could forget Dunnings car clipping a sheep on the way to Crewe and sending it down a steep cliff. Or you throwing coins out of the car window and smashing a blokes windscreen and being followed for miles.
-
Lol... things you do in your youth!!! Wonder what he's up to these days.
-
He was a porter at DRI, probably got sack for bumming dead people.
-
I do recall that. That's him being a night porter, not being sacked for bumming dead people!
-
Seem to remember the BV leg of the Chester Semi being good! Was that the first time the Vikettes graced(?) us with their presence?

Ah,someone else who remembers how good the york city away in 1984 was.Will never see anything like that anymore,squashed in liked sardines,uniform coppers mingling in crowd to try and keep order,toilet rolls thrown on the pitch then all of a sudden a bobby's helmet flies through the air and lands in front of the goal with a big cheer from the Rovers fans and then another one and another big cheer and laughter.Crikey you would get a life ban now if you did that,you get banned for not throwing the ball back if the ref complains nowadays. :laugh:
My TOP fives for Atmosphere's
1) York city 84
2) Everton 85
3) Arsenal Carling cup quarters
4) Aston Villa Carling cup
5) Man city Belle vue Carling cup

Some good uns in there. I'll just add Rushden away in the FA Cup replay that we lost 3-1 after some silly bugger got sent off early on. Fantastic atmosphere that night. The noise never, ever stopped.
Cheers

Can I add Hillsborough last night to the list.
Mny's the time we've taken a big away following somewhere and don't manage to get songs going in unison but last night we had the Leppings Lane End rocking.
We're the left side, we're the left side, we're the left side over here!

I thought it was the Hull game back in Division 3 where they paraded the trophy round the pitch, could be mistaken tho!
-
Mansfield away has to be up there! quality!
Also, to be fair last night was a good atmosphere...hope ward does not expect that when he plays at the keepmoat next tuesday...

If my mmemory serves, both the game and the atmosphere at that one were shit - until we scored right at the death. At that pooint the roof did come off, but that was the only time I remember much atmosphere at that match.

Another one: What about Dover at home that first season in the Conference? Started low key - obviously - as we were being battered so badly that we were 3-0 down in no time at all. But the scond half....!

Bob - You and me are old enough to remember the Christmas time 1-0 at Valley Parade ca 1984 with 9 men when Bradford City were running away with Division 3 - some atmosphere that day
-
Even made the headline of the express in the morning the York game!
I was very young boy but I have never heard anything like it, think alot of fans were bladdered which added to the atmosphere.....
I thought this is the club for me quite simply amazing!

You are almost right Brian. It was Boxing Day. But we ended up with 8 men, not 9. For me, that game remains the single finest Rovers performance I have ever seen. Even better, that game was the defining moment of Ian Snodin's career. Imagine it. A Glynn free kick rocket goal just before half time. Three Rovers players sent off in the first 20 minutes of the second half. Stuart McCall in full cry leading the confident and damn good Bantams in wave after wave of attacks. And Ian. The sublime, the pricelesss, the beautiful Ian Snodin. He was just a kid. But there he was: marshalling the entire team - or what was left of it. Parker (on loan from Barnsley) on his own upfront running his legs into dust chasing anything that moved. Denis between the sticks. And Ian, arranging a 6 man line strung out across the pitch 10 yards outside our area. Defying McCall and co. to get through. Ian even took the piss out of him. 'Come on then!' you could see him gesticulating. It was, and is, the single best performance by any player, anywhere, that I have ever seen. I am in awe of the bloke even now, 25 years later. You can imagine the performance of the Rovers supporters....!
I will remeember that match to my dying day. Ian H was there that day. If he spots this thread he might contribute a bit about that day too.

Bob/Dutch.
It's one of my abiding disappointments that I didn't see that Bradford match. There never was a better Rovers player at girding his loins in adversity than Ian Snodin. He was a force of nature and I can but imagine what he must have been like that day. I've always judged the Rovers by how they can defy the odds in a Dunkirk-spirit stylee, and I'm sure that Bradford match was the ultimate performance of that type.
Tuesday was utterly different. Tuesday was controlled, measured, intelligent, calm and utterly dominant. Tuesday was football that felt like a manifestaion of ESP - every player seemed to know instinctively where to go, where their team-mates where, and where the most hurtful next pass should go. We reduced a proud and in-form club, on their own patch to the role of embarrassed by-standers. By 65 minutes in, they'd even stopped really harrying and closing down, such was the run-around that we gave them. It looked like the sort of lesson that a Premiership club would give to a Division 2 side in the Cup.
O'Driscoll has stayed true to his principles of intelligent possession, but he's now shaped and crafted the team so that their first instinct is not to hold onto the ball for the sake of it, but to move it quickly forwards, with neat, simple, effective passes and wonderful fluid movement. The difference from 15 months ago, when we were turgid, safe, unwilling to risk and utterly lacking in forward-going momentum is astounding. It is an unalloyed joy to watch when it clicks like it did on Tuesday, and those of us who were there will cherish the memory of the night when the Rovers finally came of age as a cultured set of footballing aristocrats.
-
I think I'm going to regret not seeing last night just as much as you regret not seeing Bradford away Billy. Intelligence, above all things, is what I value in life. It doesn't matter in what context. But for goodness sake use the sodding brains God gave us all. Missing the apotheosis of SOD's intelligent football is really going to rankle.

I noticed that the club shop have released a dvd of yesterdays match for a tenner, so all is not lost Bob.
Wouldn't mind seeing one of the Bradford game you mention though, it sounds a cracker.
-
I tell you what Snod, I'll give 'em a call to buy that bugger. Wish there was one of Boxing Day at Bradford though..... I'd buy fifty of 'em.
