Gillingham v Manchester City 1999

[Balti]

Few things I remember from that day were:

turning down some ribeana off my older mates mum for then to be handed a can of stella by mates very older brother and him saying 'good answer now get some of these down ya' it was 530 in the morning on a Ralph Bullocks coach from their depot and i was 15

Russel Watson singing before the game and everyone booing but the guy behind me just screamed 'munich munich munich' till the veins popped out of his head. yet when dickov scored and when we went to penalties he didnt go wild or owt he just stood laughing

Then on the coach home you'd expect the coach to be rocking and everyone celebrating but you'd think we'd lost as everyone was just silent and physically and mentally drained

it was a long fucking day tbf

that terry cooke song was popular that day lol

As of this morning I am still awaiting the arrival of my copy of the book.

Were they despatched last Monday?

I've been in touch with the publisher about this - there's been a delay because of a fault in the first batch, so all of the pre-orders haven't been dispatched. The annoying thing is that they'll hopefully be dispatched on the release date (Monday), but it means any second orders and orders for Waterstones and the National Football Museum will be delayed too.

You have my apologies and I've had assurances they'll be sent out asap next week.

No problem and many thanks for the update.

I remember the mini bus on the way back being almost silent as we were all so fucked physically and emotionally.

Great day but fuck me, it took a few years out of everyone.

I've been told that there was a delay in getting the books from the printer to the publisher, however I've just signed a whole bunch this morning to be sent out today. So that means they're ready to go and they'll be sent out today!

Hopefully worth the wait! ;)

I really enjoyed it mate, and am sure others will too.

Lightweight Jessie..

Our double decker was rocking on the way down and all the way back as well. Then another 2 days celebrating saw me lose my job, and very nearly my mrs as well.

pmsl. Went with a load from Heywood and it was like a morgue coming back with nowt but blank looks on faces as we all began to realise what the fuck we had just done.

never come back from a game that took so much out of me and I doubt I ever will again.

It really was a mad weekend.

On the Saturday night we went to Back To the Old Skool @ Maximes. We came back to my friends in Miles Platting and then I went on my own to some pub near the Roxy, to get on a coach with a load of people I did not know. The whole day was just an absolute blur. I remember some cockney reds trying to kick off with a few blues who had been daft enough to cross the bridge at Watford Gap.

It was a mad mad day from start to finish.
