Went to the first leg.

 

[aloisiwouldhavescored]

We did too.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I was at the first leg

Went to the first leg.

Pretty sure I did too. Can't have been that exciting because I can barely recall it. Wasn't it a draw, and a disappointing performance by us?

 

[eyesee]

...if it did happen it would have to be an early kickoff. don't the scottish players have to be up early to deliver milk?

 

[Robinshio]

it was because we were banned from europe, so put on as a replacement

It was the Anglo-Scottish Cup Winners’ Cup.

David Smith made his debut for us iirc. Frank McGarvey equalised for them.

The crowd was about 4K in a cold night in December at HR and the second leg (supposed played at Easter) was quietly shelved due to convenient fixture pile-ups on each side.

It was a one off invention called the Anglo Scottish Challenge that wasn’t completed out of apathy.

If this were lo happen we’d have a massive following

I'm surprised they've never arranged a pre-season friendly up there and called it the return leg. Sure we've done tours of Scotland pre-season since.

I remember going to this pre-season game Matchday Memories: On This Pre-Season Day 1990 – Sillett’s Sky Blues (& Smithy) Win Oxon Cup : Coventry City Former Players Association || CCFPA and being somewhat surprised when we lifted a trophy at the end

It was staged due to the european ban at the time. The second leg wasnt played due to a number of varying reasons.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I have received permission from Mrs TGP to travel if the game happens and take TGP junior

 

[oscillatewildly]

If so then it should involve the original teams.
So we'll be down to 10 already.
Not sure about them?

 

[quinn1971]

Think I went to that, Jake Findlay in goal

 

[nightowl1883]

Would be great if the second leg happened might be a world record for the longest break between cup ties.

i'd go.
think it's a great idea.

I was there, stood at front of the Kop near the couple of hundred St Mirren fans - it was freezing and not a great game. Would be interested in going to a 2nd leg though.

From memory I think we didn’t play the second leg because of a fixture pile up and an injury crisis. I remember we had virtually no fit central defenders and St Mirren agreed not to play the second leg at that time.

I was in the Kop too and if I remember there were a few Mansfield in with them as they're game had been called off

 

[rondog1973]

Went to the first leg.

And me. Bloody freezing!

 

[chiefdave]

wouldn't mind a couple of games up there in pre-season. And completing this has a bit of a novelty factor which would be a nice change for pre-season

Yeah, we were on the Kop too.

We did used to. I still have my programme from this game. 1984. Can't remember the result.

Remember going to see us at Morton too.

However many points you got for a pre-season away game in Brechin, it wasn't enough

Interesting that less than 3 years before lifting the FA Cup, only 4 of the players who would achieve that are in the squad.

 

[Calista]

Also, Tim Dalton couldn't have known on that bleak night in Brechin that he'd soon achieve global fame in the Bond movies.

I am surprised it was that many.

I don't remember half of the kids who were here back then. Pearce and Butterworth would both be off at the end of the season, of course and a lot of the familiar names then came in.

 

[hamertime]

They need to make this happen silverware is at stake.

“champions of Britain, you’ll never sing that”

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Could persuade Harry Kane to sign and end his trophy drought?

 

[eyesee]

do we have anyone on here close enough to the club to raise this?
would love to see it happen.

8-0 to the Buddies
