Jacko..I reckon the straw idea with a tarpoline cover on top would keep any frost out....
We don't need to go all high tech...
I reckon we should patent this idea and sell it to all the tinpot clubs....
What year was that boooothy?
put some sheep on it, all the hot sh1tt and of course if you're stuck for a lass on a night...
Can't recall Hydy. It was early days at the McAlpine, i'd guess it was the very first season when we got promoted.
I've just done a bit of looking over towns stats, and the only time we have played York city at the Galph/Mac was in 2004/2005. the same season we got promoted back into the fantastic league one. Also York City got religated into none league football.
We played York in the 1993-94 season, but that was the last season in the Old Leeds Rd stadium....
So if it was York it must have been a cup match...
It was definitely York, I remember it well. We played the re-arranged game on a Tuesday night back when the south stand was split into two.
The reason I remember it so well is that me and a friend were giving it large to 3 skinheads in the York end. They started giving it the whole 'outside' thing so my friend bought a cheese and onion pie at half time, waited his moment, and then launched it at these 3 neanderthals with the accuracy of Phil 'The Power' Taylor.
I learned that day that the only way to bring down a bully is with cheese heated to the melting point of tungsten
2004/2005 would tie in perfectly Myth
Lol, what a waste of a pie though,nowadays you'd get lynched for just having a pie
I remember my mates pie featuring on Goals on Sunday when it was thrown at Clyde Wijnard at Oldham.
i was at Maine Road for a New years day game, back in the 60's, when we missed a penalty and I threw my mars bar on the pitch in disgust...I'd only taken one bite of it...
I was a lot younger then...
Yep jacko, what say 40ish?
bloomin 'eck...that'd make me...
cheeky burgher...
Bloody stats...I checked again and it was 2003 / 2004. We played them on Saturday 23rd August and lost 0-1. We beat them later that season at their place on Sunday 25th jan winiing 2-0.
But other than that the only other time we played them was 94/95, which will have been the 1st season at the Mac..Which was 28th feb 1995 and it was a Tuesday, and we won 3-0...so that must have been the year last the time a game was called at the Galph/Mac
Depends on how much the Giants cut up our precious £700,000 new pitch today..They should pay more rent especially as they have 13 players running around on it and not 11 like Town do.
Add that into your formula Ken Davy...(sorry off topic)..
Thats the one, Mirf. It was revenge for the reverse fixture where we were tormented by John McCarthy and were walloped 3-0 in the pouring rain in probably the worst performance of that season. The same game where some numpty tossed a banger into the six yard box, stripping Iain Dunn of his final few strands.
The pie incident still makes me giggle, even now and I'm 32! Nothing wrong with a bit of harmless food flinging at matches.
Apart from when you're dodging razorblade potatoes at Filbert Street that is
No pitch damage to report, Just lots of excitement and great flowing rugby league, Albeit against poor opposition, But the Giants flung it about nicely, Kev Brown got a smack in the chops n got on with it, Without fuss and without seeking revenge and all the "Local" lads played well again for their home town side, Nephew played on the pitch afore the game for Slawit u8s and had a nice lap of honour with all the other kids at half time in front of just under 9k, Followed by a couple of beers n meeting a few players who were happy to chat and sign away in the FM bar for an hour or so ! Thats what i call VFM.,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Oh very unhappy to report the whole of the Kilner bank stand and concourse below being unbelievably slippy underfoot, That smooth concrete is getting awfully dodgy at the moment, Bloody chilly aswell. That ok for yah Jacko ?
