If so, yes it was a strange game, think for some reason it was only us who played that day.
Just googled....1997, as I said not a royalist but I remember going there on the day/day after she died or maybe from the follow-up post from BBS it was 9/11...Diana died in the late 90’s, IIRC. 1997? 1998?
Sorry mate I should have been clearer, it was 9/11 or 11/9 in our languageAs I'm not royalist in any way or shape, was that the Princess Di game?

I didn't see any of the game, and certainly no goals, Gowling scored for them and Owen and Royle scored for CIty, plus an OG. The TV people were not there. No recordings seem to exist. Would love to see it if anybody knows better.I remember that well, as a 16 year old shitting my pants as it kicked off fans on the pitch I ended up in the paddock separated from my dad and mates only some kind older geordies saved me from a kicking, I remember Newcastle brown ale bottles raining down on us, I seem to remember some rangers fans in with us fighting the geordies, we won 3.1 I seem to remember.
A very scary day.
Blackburn away October 1st 2011.
4/0 win after the Bayern Tevez game.
Boiling hot day made worse by the plastic roofing.
