I once had to get my car fixed in Truro, back in 1994. Not memorable.

The town itself was unmemorable, to the point where the only bit I actually remember is sitting in KwikFit waiting room reading the Daily Mail report of the previous night's game between Forest and Man U (1-1, if memory serves me right). That's how dreary the town must have been.

 

[Otis]

I have my fingers crossed for Barnstoneworth United.

 

[wingy]

Boro or Leamington still in it?

No Stratford Town either. Lost 1-4 to Scarborough last week.

David Phillips and Stuart Pearce both playing for Forest that night.

I seem to remember reading that Kanchelskis scored for United....they played in their famous black away kit, I think.

if my memory serves me correctly, the crowd was 22,072. Could have been 22,073 - it was a long time ago.

If so that was crap, that was their first home game after they had just been promoted back to the PL as Div 1 champions, playing the double winners from the previous season with a host of internationals in their team!

 

[richnrg]

correct me if i'm wrong, but wasn't one of the reasons for the poor attendence that night because of the proposed redevelopment of the Trent End stand in readiness for Euro 96? Only a guess of course.

You're absolutely right and I was coming on here just now to correct myself. Current Forest capacity is about 30k, including the Trent End. But the old stand was knocked down in 1994, i.e. before the United game, so they only had three stands in action that night. Subtract the Trent End capacity of 7k from their current capacity with the new Trent End of 30k, you're left with the other three sides open that night containing 23k or so, so it looks like they had a near-capacity crowd that night.

 

[Alkhen]

Bath City for me please. a colleague of mine is a fan

 

[Speedies_Chips]

Someone we can beat please and preferably at a ground that I haven't been to before.

 

[Hullinho87]

Being Coventry born but Cornwall bred plus knowing 3 of the potential opposing players I am hoping for number 72 away!!

Went and watched Truro play Torquay in a friendly last summer when I was on holiday down there. Torquay had a few lads about 14/15 strutting around the place.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Folly Lane away is my prediction.

Anytime is perfect for a drinking weekend. And there are fireworks! Usually when I get back from the pub!

 

[bringbackrattles]

Bet they'll show bloody Sutton Cup giant killing again ?
And they'll also mention that we won the Cup in 87. Sutton are still in the draw !

 

[Ashdown]

10k to MK ?

 

[Cov kid 55]

Would we beart Truro City? Are they still top of National League South?

 

[pusbccfc]

Any away game at a non-league club and we'll be on TV. Especially if it is Sutton or Solihull.

 

[North York’s Blue]

Good to see Dean Saunders knows his stuff, apparently Mark Chamberlain crossed the ball for Houchen and we were struggling in the league as well.....

 

[ccfcway]

home to Maidenhead

 

[I was eleven in 87]

Maidenhead United at home.
Big game.

 

[no_loyalty]

Good draw for us

 

[Speedies_Chips]

Good draw for us

A chance for Biamou to score.
