Hmmm there are not many grounds in the Championship that are like Roots Hall!!Yep, thats my thoughts exactly - good management from them.
Anyone on here go the last time we played a friendly match v Newcastle?
yes we did then jimmy greaves put the kiss of death on us and finished 11thNew Years Day, 1992 won 4-0, that was a good day, didn`t we go top for a few hours? I think it was a 12:00 kick off.

If you are referring to the end of season testimonial in 1960,I certainly did-we lost 3-6!
