We took loads to the Dungers in 78 too. Not many stood up, but loads in the seats 40k+ for officially a home game. Is that when ref bottled it and gave them two injury penalties ? Gordon Mc Queens professional foul on Terry Park too. Wasn’t it one penalty and one ridiculously soft free kick.

Referee Willis left there with a brown envelope the size of Edgeley Park. We was robbed! IIRC years later he reffed the cup final where Kevin Moran was sent off for United and most of their fans were banging on about how he never gave them anything.

We're 11/5 tomorrow. Lump on. Blackpool extremely strong at home and dogshit away last season so odds will be reflecting that a bit no doubt.

Later he reffed at Rochdale and a County fan ran on and clocked him one IIRC

This game still annoys me 46 years later we were well and truly robbed, a penalty and a free kick for too many steps by Mike Rogan. They didn’t get much further as Watford knocked them next round at O/T.

We're 11/5 tomorrow. Lump on. Got us -1 at 13/2. Combined with two other teams with a -1 so hopefully pays for the day out and some!

Dedicated to the travelling County hordes and hoping you have a fantastic day.
Hope you enjoy singing along and having a laugh courtesy of the iconic, sadly missed Frank Sidebottom.
All the Best Frank, Thank You.

They didn’t get much further as Watford knocked them next round at O/T. Here's the thing. I always thought we were robbed too (hence the title of the video 😂), and couldn't understand Willis' decisions. I was sitting with a guy who was a ref at the time (got as far as running the line in Division 5, I think), and he couldn't either. Although he was as worked up as me, being a die-hard County fan, which may have affected his judgement... The accepted reason for the free kick against Rogan has always been that he took too many steps - the voiceover on the video also says as much. However, if you watch (1:55), Rogan actually catches the ball, drops it, rolls it out and then picks it up again. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that illegal? Peter Willis in Correct Decision Shocker? The penalty (2:23) remains highly dubious, however. Even with the poor quality, it's hard to see where the foul was.

The day after the 4-0 win, Mark Hatton woke up in hospital. The only meat I could ever put on the bones was that after the game he was in a very highly agitated state. I know this because he was calling myself and his Mum demanding we send him some money. It was a Saturday and we were in The Netherlands and at a Fortuna Sittard game which kicked off 10 minutes after County's game in Blackpool finished so our hands were completely tied. There was absolutely nothing we could do. We didnt hear from him again that evening. Despite several phone calls, many to his mates, we heard nothing. Come the Monday, my dad contacted the cops. They traced him to Blackpool Victoria hospital. He'd been very badly beaten up - enough to put him in hospital after the game. As many of you know, he spent the next 4 years drinking himself into his early grave. We never did get to the bottom of what happened that afternoon. It's been a long time now but if any of you out there can tell me anything, anything at all, about the events of that afternoon, I'd still like to fill in some gaps in my knowledge. In loving memory of Mark Hatton. 1984 - 2008. RIP Son. I missed that as I was on bloody holiday in Florida, I believe he got detached from the group from what I was told, never quite got the full story either. RIP Mate.

I thought it was two penalties taken by one of the Greenhough's. It's why I still dislike them to this day and I was only 12 at the time. Remember listening to it on the radio. I'd love for us to get stuck into them again and beat them of course.

Are there any videos of our 4-0 win at Blackpool anywhere? Hoping the club might dig some out of the archives for a social media post today. There it is!
