[Yorkshire Blue]

Jim Stannard, Warren May (sub. Micky Engwell), Glenn Pennyfather, Danny O’Shea, Shane Westley, Steve Hatter, Paul Clark (sub.Terry Pryer), Frank Lampard, Richard Cadette, Dean Neal and Roy McDonough


And to think people complain about the current squad.

Eight players there who, at their peak, would walk into our current team. Unfortunately a couple of them were past their peak before they joined.

Terry Pryer ? That sent me reaching for the record books. I had no recollection of him whatsoever.

Do you know if it's League, FA Cup, League Cup, Football League Trophy and Anglo-Italian ?

I suppose that's like Freddy thinking he can walk about in our first team games because he was good at his peak 7 years ago.

Still, imagine how good our current team would be with Eastwood and Harris at their peak up front and Coughlan and Barker at the back.

 

[Up the Shrimpers]

Can remember the FRT game against Northampton the 683 crowd included about 150 away fans!
Mind you the next game against Northampton only a few months later the crowd was 7,412.

6/7 players there,who,comparatively speaking for what they gave at their time, I would gladly swap for the player we currently have in their position.

I was one of the 683!

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

I was one of the 31,090!

 

[Ailsa Road Shrimper]

I remember that match with 683 fans! It actually took place in March 1986 and not January, it must've been a re-arranged game after we were knocked out of the group stage hence the lack of interest.

I was one of the 683!

I was one of the 31,090!

Was at both; wonder how many other people were at both our highest and lowest crowds at Roots Hall. I'd guess about 600 !!

Northampton FRT game was 13th Feb 1986 according to SUFC Database. Our next home game after this match was the Halifax game attendance 1,006 our lowest ever league crowd. (Although for some reason SUFC Database has the Northampton crowd as 1,364 which is wrong).

Probably much less than 600 as about 150 at Northampton game were away fans. I went to Northampton game but not Liverpool match.

Anybody know how many games we played at the Old Roots Hall?

After we've played our 1,500th game on Satrurday, exactly 1% (15) will have been against Stockport. So far we have 6 wins, 6 draws and a couple of defeats, scoring just 18 goals but conceding only 11.

I was one of the 1,006!

"As a result the 1,500th fan through the turnstile on Saturday will be invited, along with their guest, to watch Blues historic FA Cup first round match from the comfort of the directors box as well enjoy pre-match drinks in the Platinum Suite."

Sounds difficult to adjudicate with all the different turnstiles which seem barely capable of reading season cards let alone keeping a simultaneous running total !!

Might be someone from Stockport.
