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. That night made me the ABU I am today. Most County fans will tell you they dislike City the most but it will always be United for me. It was Derek Loadwick, who was immense, who McQueen got sent off for fouling.

I remember Mike Flynn playing for Blackpool, but had completely forgotten that Rob Clare was there too.

Wasnโt it one penalty and one ridiculously soft free kick. 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. Oh yes the magic steps.

Unfortunately if we ever played them they'd stick out the youth team and if we beat them it would give their fans a get out of jail free card.

Both very dodgy decisions.

I mean fair enough if I'm blocked, but I literally posted film of it about an hour ago ๐

Same lineup as Cambridge, Wootton and Diamond to score, 1-2 County, NO MORE INJURIES!

So is this our largest ever away following do we think ? Edit: can't be, Bolton must have been more, that stand holds 5K aparantly and it was sold out. Certainly the largest away following for a league game post-2000, almost certainly for the 90s too but couldn't say for definite. I'm sure we could have taken more for the first two City games but weren't given the space in the ground. We defo didn't for the other big league games back then like Sunderland, Wolves, Brum, Sheff Utd/Wednesday, Forest etc. Big 3-4k away followings just weren't a thing back then. For league games we took some pretty huge followings in the late 60s in the Vic Bernard era. Also back in the 50s clubs often wouldn't take very many to most away but would take thousands and thousands to the one or two local away games. Back then both us and Oldham would average 10k or 12k or whatever, but then suddenly at the games against each other it'd suddenly very 20k, 25k etc...with huge away followings. Away from the league we took 11k to Anfield in 1965.

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! Highlight of a terrible season. Sammy Mac building a terribly unbalanced squad of small, weak, slow and injury prone players then Kennedy lost interest.

Bate, fine! Was a kick and trained last few days.
Hughes, still a bit of swelling, touch and go for this weekend. Once the swelling goes they can strap up the ankle and it should be fine - next week at latest hopefully.
Tanto, will be back involved! Trained this week but a long way short of 90 mins and then repeat 90 mins. No preseason so way behind and will be steadily integrated.
Powell and Rydel, at least a couple of weeks away. Powell back in training but won't join the group until the back end of next week. Rydel bit behind him, bit psychological after the significance of his injuries and also a heavier workload position.
Transfers, would like to add. Specific areas in team where think could benefit but that can change quickly, so reactive and opportunistic. Will be things that come available at the back of the window. If everyone was fit, probably wouldn't be looking unless it was 1 in, 1 out to move forward recruitment plans. (That's fine for me but I think we need a RB now, regardless of what happens in the next few games. That said there's no point rushing it over 2 games if a much better target can become available.)

So I'd put good money on us being unchanged then Tanto on the bench, hopefully just filling in Okeke's slot now he's gone on loan. Potentially it's another kid in for Hughes though. Onyango, Fevrier and Tanto are good, pacey subs to have at least.

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. They seemed to go both on winning and losing streaks as well with a few shock results both ways. Bit of a div.1 PNE.
