Did I dream this re Play offs?

Play offs one season included a team from Prem Lg (or Top flight whatever it was then), and the Final was played at Birmingham City & involved Charlton (?) Vs Leeds. Charlton won to stay up, and a spectator was killed when a wall fell down. ??? Could be mixing up a few events there but I def remember a team from top flight having to win a Play Off final to stay up? (chinny)

 

1987 , Charlton from Division 1 & Leeds from Division 2

The final was over two legs , the scores were level , a replay was held at St. Andrews , Charlton won with two Peter Shirtliff goals .
Funnily enough , that's not the subject I dream about !!

 

someone was killed at St Andrews when Leed fans invaded the

pitch and a wall collapsed in a league game, same day as Bradford fire I think.

 

Yup , you're right Owen

The incident became a mere footnote , though , after the events at Valley Parade .

 

RE: Yup , you're right Owen

I think the incident involving the fan being killed was a different game - Birmingham v Leeds.

Couldn't have been the playoff final for it to have happened on the same day as Bradford playing their last league game.

 

It was Leeds v Brum

Wasn't someone hit by a fire extinguisher and Leeds fans were stabbing the police horse's?

 

I don't think I've made myself clear

As Owen quite rightly said , the incident with the fan being killed was in 1985 at St. Andrews in a league game between Birmingham & Leeds ( on the same day as the Bradford fire ) .
The Play Off Final replay at St. Andrews between Charlton & Leeds was in 1987 .

 

Leeds v Charlton playoff was 1986-87

Bradford fire was 1985

 

Well obviously I didn't dream it!

... but don't get me onto what I do dream about - now that is wierd!

 

Pah ! You really think

You'd win a challenge with me for wierd dreams , Fiona ????

 

I don't even want to contemplate it! nt
