I have reminisced about this game a thousand times and posted on her several times about it. It never gets boring. I would say there was 10,000 in the ground possibly more. The Southbank was packed. Plymouth took the Town End capacity of 3,000 without a doubt. Other memories of the day. Plymouth fan...

Rather have Hugh(ie) Cheetham.

(Scored direct from a corner for us in the late '70s at Torquay in DIv 4).

Wizard A club that barely existed a few months ago and the fans are desperate to get rid of a guy who’s given his all for this club for many years. No wonder football’s in such a state. SMH.

Given his all = totally irrelevant
Sleepwalking towards relegation with a charlatan = totally relevant

We (often) play badly and get beaten.
We (rarely) play well and get beaten.
Said all along Hunt is not a manager. Not now, not ever.
He will be sacked. I just hope it isn’t left too long.

Get rid to the first best alternative offer quickly.

Like this signing, gives more tactical flexibility and adds some steel to our sometimes lightweight midfield. Also frees up Wing to push forward or not play every single minute of L1 again lol. Crawley fans speak highly of him too. Welcome to the club! The ‘mighty’ Crawley whose fans also spoke hig...

Absolutely hideous

Who is it at the club that chooses the kit design?

And can someone please tell me just what is wrong with the traditional blue and white hooped kit with WHITE shorts and socks of the early ‘70s???

Just how and why is anyone surprised?! Selles knew the risks and the territory. He kept them up and did wonders with us. He has two big ticks on his CV. Football is a merciless game. I wouldn't be surprised if Hunt is replaced. SJM "surprisingly" binned Evans for Branfoot in 1991 after tak...

Whatever the circumstances behind their achievement this year, congratulations to them notwithstanding.

What greater motivation do we need to immediately take it back from them in League 1 next year.

Most famously, of course, THAT Plymouth game. 2-0 down at HT at home, then 3-0 just after the restart had many thinking about leaving early but then Deano scored from the penalty spot after an hour or so. Then, as the clock reached 80 minutes all hell started breaking loose, first Bremner started p...

I wholeheartedly echo all the thoughts, comments and sentiments above.

My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

I think the whole board can agree, the mid to late 70s were the best ever days to support RFC. 1978-79 was magic - particularly this time of season with the three local derbys at easter and Steve Death's amazing run. Yeah, I loved that season - like the first hit of a drug that turns you into an ad...

Deathy was definitely one of my favourite players of the era. I remember loads about him. How he used to nonchalantly lean up against the post when we were attacking. His range at goal kicks wasn’t the best especially against the wind. His style of drop-kicking was unique at the time. One of the bes...

Brum are going to do it aren't they? No surprise really although I always thought it would be the financial advantage of going Prem>Championship that would do for us, not Champ>L1 When you've spent over 6 times the rest of the league combined, you'd think you would cruise past the record. I think i...

Does make me laugh all this ‘X’ is from that part of the country therefore he’d want to go to club ‘Y’. Utter togwash.

:lol: Excellent He got a toupe cut? :shock: Paid him too much obviously. The lads in the Southbank used to refer to him as 'Bobby the slap' and we'd all stand there slapping our foreheads :lol: Great times. He allegedly signed for us after being shown the Simod Cup Final video thinking that played ...

Naseem Bashir

Maybe a bit harsh given that he only played 3 games but distinctly remember him inexplicably missing a sitting duck open goal from 6 yards against Chester at the Tilehurst End. He was instantly hauled off and never played again.

Surprised no one has mentioned the much maligned Elroy Kromheer yet.

In fact that whole 1998/9 squad was so awful, you could include the whole lot of them.
