2 absolute dog **** teams

Me and mates were once sat in East Stand upper tier when we drew 0-0 with Notts County. There was a game of cricket going off on the Co-op ground which half the stand could see. The game was so dire that we all started watching the cricket. One of the bowlers took a wicket and there was a huge cheer from the East Stand. The rest of the ground had no idea what was going off but at least we'd had an ounce of entertainment albeit not on the football pitch.

 

Bit dramatic. Wasn't good like, but there's been many many worse.

 

Just about last day of the season a mate of mine came up from Plymouth one year and we played some roll-a-dice game with hitherto unknown Barnsley fans in the brewery stand. The football was completely sterile, a 0--0 draw.

They said that they often played this game at the match.

 

There was one passage of play in the second half where the ball bounced to Kane and he banged it forward, then it came back to Mowatt in the same position and he smacked it straight up in the air on the half volley.

My son and me both swore at the same time

 

I remember that. I think Helik really needs to work on his distribution, out of the lumpers Helik is in my opinion the most wasteful. Amount of times he kicks it long back to the keeper when a ball out wide or even long out into touch would make more sense. He just needs to take a second to look up, compose himself, and launch it with some kind of direction.

 

I’ve stood at the top of the old Kop many a time before they stopped us switching ends at half time. There was often a decent crowd up there on the ridge watching a football or cricket match on the Co-op sports ground
