Even more distant - Wasn't it 1992 and on a Sunday?

sunday seems a fair guess seeing that sunday was our day for playing home games.

Gidley is now proving to be as good a buy as Lyon ( IMO ).

Yeah I would say Matt has been just as good, infact a lot of the flicks/Tricks you see From Gidley, suggest maybe that this is the basics of where lyon picked up his style of play from.

Good lad.

Reminds me of the time (late 80's) a neighbour of mine had a christening on the morning of a match. All the blokes had been under instructions from the wives not to whinge that they were not allowed to go to the game later that day (Sunday 3pm), we all went to the church miserable as hell, knowing the match was only a few hours away and that we weren't going.
Afterwards at the party, everyone all sat around pigged off at about 2pm, when all of a sudden the babies mothers shouted...'Oh sod it, you miserable get's, you might as well go to the match'.
Well you've never seen ten grown men move so fast!!

Where does time go

I sat on the wall of the Popular Side for that match, right on the try line infront of Scoreboard. IIRC most of Offiah's tries came at that end of the ground

Gene Miles(A Legend) was pretty good in that game also IIRC.
