Wow, thanks for posting this. My first ever Blackpool game. Mesmerising night.This brought back a few memories ....
Not that season I don't thinkI am sure we had another big result the week before or after. Was it Lincoln maybe 5-0.
YepWas that tony rod well and David eyres as proper wingers?
South Kop?I was there for that in the South Kop. Proper fan me.
No bullshit 3-5-2 formation then. Just decent crosses into the box and Bamber scoring for fun. Yes football has evolved but it's not a different sport now.
Remember that game. 'We want six', was a regular shout out from someone in the scratching sheds. Finally his wish came true.
Also I remember my mate saying in the pub afterwards " Six pints, six goals, all I want now is a sh*g, and I would be in heaven!"
I was in the West. I've never seen another game filmed from the closed side of the Kop.What a strange camera angle.
I was in the south paddock that evening. Never saw Pool score more than 3 goals when I'd been at a game so this was bonkers for me
Great memories, the whole ground was rocking and although usually in the scratching shed I managed to get stand tickets for a few of us including a colleague who was a Carlisle fan We played well but their defense was awfulThis brought back a few memories ....
Yes, poor support after a decade of decline.Great footage, which prompted me to google that season. The crowds were criminally low. 2,000 core support sky-rocketing up to 5,000 for the Carlisle game, a fair few of whom will have come down from there. Also, only 2,500 at Rochdale for the supposed local derby. Puts today's attendances into perspective. Loved it, though.
I take it you did the commentary on the old season videos then?This footage was shot by Carlisle’s video team from the home side of The Kop; we shot from the West Paddock (sadly, as the gantry wasn’t in place) back then.
My avatar pic was taken from the gantry vs Barnet when I was co-commentating in 1992.
King Billy…the video says it all really.
I did, Pun…and I am sorry; I was just a kid and the view was also rubbish!I take it you did the commentary on the old season videos then?
Had a few on VHS in the early to mid nineties.
Still got the videos. Love them. You have nothing to apologise for.I did, Pun…and I am sorry; I was just a kid and the view was also rubbish!
Yeah no need to apologise. Loved them videos and the commentaryI did, Pun…and I am sorry; I was just a kid and the view was also rubbish!
