there must be some mistakes there as 1984 is at most 30 years ago surely?Quote:

I was at Portsmouth Poly from 82 - 85 . The 1984 game was the famous clock incident.Quote:

League Cup game I was last there for. Pretty sure we lost in extra time. Cant remember the year. Think Blakey was playing for us.
Southport
Went there in the 60’s, haven’t been back yet :hehe:
