Rochdale vs York

[BillyStubbsTears]

One of the worst grounds I've ever been to, Bootham Crescent. Only went once and it was cold, cramped, stank of piss and we got beat 1-0. We ended up relegating them at Belle Vue later in the season and winning the league, so did get revenge, but it was a miserable afternoon of togger.  Haven't been to the new ground but not a team I look at fondly because of that day!

Eeh how quickly we forget...

Strangely I rather liked grounds like that..

I was at the 1-1 there in 83/84, still queueing to get in when York got a penalty. Could just see through the turnstile to the middle of the penalty area.  From the away fans noise and player reactions, I could tell Peacock saved it..

I could be wrong but was that game played on a Sunday, which was quite unusual at the time?

Yes it was definitely on a Sunday afternoon, can't remember why. They were top of the league and flying. I think we were about 3rd. We were all over them and Glyn Snodin gave us the lead. We should have been out of sight but didn't take our chances, (sound familiar)? Peacock made a howler to give them the equaliser and that was it. I can't remember the penalty incident but that's probably just an age thing. They won the league by a mile but we were promoted too so happy all round. Great memories.
