on 19-12-1993


Attendance: 8930


The last game I EVER traveled to on a supporters coach, went on me todd, remember little of the journey except we went over Tower Bridge, turned it to what I know know is Jamaca Rd and waited for our Police Escort. The Ground, well at the time it was the Newest in the league I think, and wasn't considered that bad, was impressed with TV's on the concourse that had a live feed of the pitch side action. Was an "average" following, not particularly large, but relatively vocal. The game was heading for a tight 0-0 with chances to both sides, seem to recall Toddy Orlyson having a few runs etc. And them Gordan Marshall dropped 2 clangers, both of which we had a birds eye view off from the upper tier above his goal, it felt like we were vertically above it. and I just remember the feeling as he let it bounce, and it went over his head

Dragged Kathryn down to this one, pursaded her she really should go at least once, after being kept behind again for an hour whilst a battle between millwall thugs and the police conitued the other side of the railway, and still having to be escorted to the station, she swore she would never return to the place.

Now I decide to visit the place again..... I must be mad. but last game I saw was Derby , and next after that I will see is Wigan... I had to really....

Went to Millwall I think it was 1990-91 season ( League Cup I think, second leg and we'd won the home leg) , and lost to the worst offside decision EVER !!! And I do mean ever !!!! Very deflating and even Millwall fans were gob smacked.
It was a mid week night disaster. I actually got slapped by a girl ( Stoke girl) who had picked me as someone who'd done something etc to her cousin's mate in a Hanley pub the week before. Problem was I lived in Portsmouth at the time and hadn't been in Stoke for over a month. Great night !!!!! It's up there with 0-6 at Swindon and 0-4 at Wigan.

Gordan Marshall clangers.

A game that we controlled for a long period of time.

Joe Jordan was manager and Stoke fans singing 'Joe Jordan barmy Army'.

In the game Marshall played well until the two clangers. They were big clangers as well. It finished him as a goalkeeper at Stoke for all Stoke fans.

I think he went back to Celtic a short time later.

Apart from our magnificent 3-2 win there at the end of the 95/96 season, the game that sticks out in my memory is our visit there in 98/99, when Brian Little was our manager.

Rob Styles was the referee that day and he sent off two Millwall players (both in the first half I think). Despite the handicap of being down to nine men for much of the match, they still rolled us over 2-0. It was a dire performance, absolutely embarrassing.

Unbeliveably though, there were still Stoke fans prepared to applaud the players at the final whistle. ???

Dave,

That still ranks as my worst Stoke performance to date. You can forget your 8-0s and 7-0s they were against powerful teams.
Here we had a team (well 5/6s of a team after Mr Styles had intervened) and yet we still couldn't muster a single attempt on goal.
The most gutless soul destroying experience I have ever had the misfortune to witness. I was sat with Smudge that day and I felt sorry for the fella as he contemplated his match report.

Happily a distant memory. We will see how we have improved shortly one hopes!

cheers

PS I always remember a Millwall comment going so far that if they had produced the perfomance the players would have been killed! Glad we didn't go that far, but I don't think many of that team are playing competitive football anymore!!

Didn't go to the first game mentioned but it still sticks in the memory.

Had been to my parents that afternoon and listened to most of the game on the radio. For some reason I decided to leave before the end of the game. Got in the car, turned the radio on and we were 2-0 down!

Since that day, if I start listening to a game on 1 radio, I have to listen to it all on the same radio, or not at all, just in case the same thing happens again!
