Most boring BFC match you was at?......

This is mine as well

It has taken on an almost mythical quality of tedium amongst the five thousand odd that were there that night I think. Sat in Eaststand Upper 'for a treat' and wanted to fling myself on to Eaststand Lower by half time. It was really cold as well.

 

Any match against Grimsby. nt

 

Especially in the cold.

 

you must be young then cos the grimsby matches of the late 70s were highly charged affairs, against brolly, ford et al, esp the win against them that gained us promotion at oakwell.

 

Had to miss that game

Due to a prior commitment. Next game, the lad I used to sit next to said "The next time you've got to miss a game, tell me & I'll miss it with you!"

 

Was that the one on new years day?

Came home from Liverpool hung over for that *****.

 

Oxford utd 0-0 Barnsley 92/93

awful game at the manor ground,october time i think,the highlight was the way they announced one of there subs,like he was maradona or summat,Allen was his last name,made me chuckle anyway!

 

RE: Barnsley 0-0 Oxford Utd 1996/97 promotion season

I forgot my ST that day and had to pay in! Took my stub and my book to the ground next week and got a refund - the good old days!!!!

 

RE: Oxford utd 0-0 Barnsley 92/93

Was that when that ref was in charge who had the flamboyant hair ? Bit of a celebrity - we were giving some grief, then he turned down a strong penalty claim for Oxford in front of the away end - turned round and asked the Barnsley fans "Do you still think I'm crap ? " - it was obviously a big crowd with plenty of noise.....

 

That was the best 0-0 draw I've ever seen ............

.......... loads of attempts on goal by us, Phil Whitehead in the nets for them, played a blinder, he was brilliant that night ........... there was between 6 & 7,000 at that game (October 1996?) and it's weird how many folks claim to have been 'regulars' during our famous 'promotion to the premiership' season, only the same old diehards there that night from what I remember!

 

RE: Oxford utd 0-0 Barnsley 92/93

Thats the one,definate pen but luckily for us he didnt give it,not a very big crowd at all,one of the least intimidating away fixtures ever,suprising really as the away end entrance was down a narrow ginnel/snicket,prime ambush location for the local hoolies.

 

RE: Oxford utd 0-0 Barnsley 92/93

Bit of a contrast to the promo season...</p>

Nice sunny day an'all that one in 92/93. How come I can't remember what I had for breakfast though ?
</p>

 

RE: Oxford utd 0-0 Barnsley 92/93

a day like today,i seem to remember,still boring as **** though,if it wasnt for bieng stood up i wouldve been asleep,awful,truly awful!

 

Wasn't the Oxford game the one with the fog?

 

RE: Oxford utd 0-0 Barnsley 92/93

John Pearson 'starred' for us that day I think. Enough said.

 

Norwich Feb 2000

0-0 evening match & I'd taken the RR's. 2nd coldest match I've ever been to.

Only highlight was having a chat wi Higgy when he asked for our blanket when he took a throw in

 

Barnsley 0 Brentford 0

Can't remember exactly when it was, but PHart was in charge, it was a red hot day and both teams played like it was a kickabout. The only one on our side who looked remotely interested was Chris Shuker.

 

RE: Wasn't the Oxford game the one with the fog?

It was the Swindon game 1-1 I think that was in the fog.

 

friendly under parkin...

alloa 0-0 tarn.

i'd convinced a load of mates to go too. they were not impressed.
