Haven't put up a 'memories' post for a couple of weeks, so I dug the records out and found that 24 years ago today we played out a fairly uneventful 0-0 draw at Gigg Lane.
But there have been meetings which have been 'bizarre' and 'frenetic' in the 20 times I made the short trip. (I note one of them was against Preston when I presume Deepdale was in the throes of some kind of redevelopment)
Bizarre back in 1981, when we started with 9 and played with 9 men until just before half time ... and won as well!!
Frenetic in 2006 as we fought to avoid the drop. A game played in heavy rain, settled by a classic Dicko strike towards the end of the game.
Reflections on those and on Gigg Lane in general on the link
